Fifteen healthy men in each of three age groups, 20-29 yrs, 40-49 yrs, and 60-69 yrs, were evaluated regarding complex performance in two altitude conditions (ground level vs. 3,810 m) which were administered during performance testing. Performance was measured during a 3-h test session with the Multiple Task Performance Battery (MTPB) which involv

Air quality measurements were made at two street intersections in Texas. Measurements of carbon monoxide and meteorological information were made at several heights both upwind and downwind of the intersections. In addition, detailed traffic information was also recorded. Tracer gas studies using SF sub 6 were performed at both sites and at the Tex

Asphaltic concrete overlays are often used in an attempt to restore the riding quality of a roadway and extend its useful life. However, these overlays are susceptible to premature deterioration as a result of transverse reflection cracking, whereby a cracking pattern existing in the original pavement is extended into and through the new overlay.

In this report, a new bridge safety index is developed based upon an extensivestatistical study of accident data on 78 bridges. A total of 655 accidentswere recorded at these bridges over the six-year period between 1974 and 1979.Cluster analysis showed that 26 of the bridges could be grouped into a "less-safellclass and the remaining 52 bridges cu
