The effects of smoking withdrawal on complex (time-shared) performance and physiological responses were studied at a simulated aircraft cabin altitude of 6,500 ft. Seventeen habitual smokers, nine women and eight men 23 to 59 years of age, served as subjects.Time-shared performance of monitoring, tracking, mental arithmetic, and problem solving tas

The correlations obtainable from comparisons of the various air void parameters with the freeze-thaw durability of concretes are listed. It is shown that correlations are no better when only small voids are used than when the total void content is used. It is concluded that for most concretes, (1) the void parameters required by ASTM C-457 produce

An evaluation of the thin polymer concrete overlay placed on the Beulah Road bridge indicates that the overlay is securely bonded to the base concrete and is providing low permeability and high skid resistance after 1 year of service life. The lane constructed with 90-570 resin is more flexible and therefore is providing better protection than the

This report describes the methods by which mid-size Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), between 200,000 and 750,000 in population are incorporating energy conservation concerns into their urban transportation planning process. Nine MPOs were selected for case study analysis. General conclusions were extrapolated from these case studies.

The purpose of this laboratory study was to determine the effectiveness of hydrated lime as an antistripping additive when used in bituminous mixes incorporating aggregates frequently used in such mixes in Virginia. The application of 1% hydrated lime to dry aggregate deterred stripping in 60% of the mixes tested. Applied at the same rate to wet ag

This study attempted to establish and analyze relationships between forms of deterioration or distress that reduce the level of service provided by a highway pavement and the cost of correcting them. Using statistical computer analyses of 30 highway projects, the most significant relationships were identified. Very strong statistical relationships

To determine the feasibility of using wind turbines to generate electrical power, measurements of wind speeds were made for a period of one year at three installations of the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation. Unfortunately, the wind speeds were not sufficiently high to allow the economical use of a wind turbine at any location, an

The effects of urbanization on the Corps of Engineers' HEC-I rainfall-runoff model parameters were examined. Data on rainfall events and corresponding streamflow hydrographs were gathered for five watersheds in rural and highly urbanized areas in Virginia. These data were used in the HEC-I program to obtain optimal estimates for the loss rate, unit

The fabric area of the project is located on U.S. 18 approximately one mile east of Rudd, Iowa eastward to Station 300+00. The fabric was placed in the month of June, 1979. The asphaltic concrete overlay was all two inches in thickness except for one 2500 foot section of three inches. The fabrics used in the reinforcement areas were Petromat, a non

Past placment of structural foundation support piles in frozen soils generally has been performed using drilled and slurry backfill techniques. The early success of specially modified H-pile structural shapes driven into permafrost, and the promise of more economical and faster methods of pipe pile placement, has fostered development or refined pil
