In June and July 1983, the Oregon State Highway Division constructed a geogrid-retained soil wall to stabilize a landslide on the Oregon coast. The project was an FHWA Experimental Features Project. The experimental aspects of the project were to assess construction problems of near-vertical walls with high-density polyethylene geogrids and to inve

The rapid rate of construction has created a need to have information on the strength of concrete at the earliest possible time. Having to wait 28 days before the strength can be determined can cause serious problems if inferior concrete had been used in a member or a section which is already in place.

Laboratory rats were exposed continuously to measured atmospheric concentrations of hydrogen chloride (HC1) gas until they expired. The exposure time required to produce lethality was measured, as was the time at which physical incapacitation occurred. Incapacitation was defined operationally as loss of the ability to walk in a motor-driven wheel.

Bridge deck icing is a phenomena that Highway Department and motorists must contend with each winter. The formation of ice on bridge decks as the temperature falls below 0 C (32 F) creates a particularly treacherous condition. Since much less heat is stored in the deck than in the ground, the deck can ice while the rest of the roadway is clear. Whe
