Unintentional freeze-ups can cause a considerable amount of damage to a building's mechanical and architectural components resulting in costly repairs and the temporary loss of the facility's usage. The major complement of freeze-ups occur in unattended buildings as a result of heating unit failures. In many cases, buildings and content damage coul

The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate the effectiveness of hydrated lime as an antistripping additive in several test sections. The two sections installed in 1982 contain S-5 surface mixes with (1) hydrated lime, (2) a chemical additive, and (3) no additive. Stripping tests on the mixes have predicted that those containing hydrated lime

Observations on the airline pilot group probably come as close to a true reflection of incidence of disqualifying disease as is possible to observe. Prescreening by airline companies before employment and the stringent Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements for issuance of a first-class medical certificate result in this group being ess

This manual is meant to be a springboard toward your own ideas for demonstrating concepts of the Air Age to your children, whatever the grade level. Even little children can learn scientific principles through simple teaching aids; older pupils can benefit by a review using the same demonstrations. In some instances, these aids may be set up by the

A variety of measurements are sensitive to alcoholism; some may be applicable to screening programs, but more precise knowledge of sensitivity and specificity would help to select a minimal test battery. This study assessed the sensitivity of some tests for alcoholism to a single drinking episode.Fifteen nonalcoholic men, 26-59 years old, participa

Safety in the Air is designed to be taught as a six-lesson unit to middle school students, preferably sixth, seventh, or eighth grade level. This curriculum is designed first of all to familiarize both the teacher and the student with some basic principles and concepts of our atmosphere and of the theory of flight. It appears to be more feasible to

The condition of six concrete bridge slabs that had been in service for three years was evaluated. The top 2 in. of the four slabs that had been impregnated to a depth of about 1 in. with a methyl methacrylate and trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate monomer, and that. were subsequently polymerized, was found to exhibit an average permeability to chl

This report represents a continuation of analyses concerned with the patterns and methods of distributing grain from North Dakota. The collection and compilation of this type of data began in 1956-57. The objective of this report, like prior reports, is to provide the necessary data base for identifying trends in the distribution of grains and oils

This interim report describes Virginia's experience in installing its first cathodic protection system for a bridge deck. The installation was completed with practically no problems. Very minor problems have been encountered with the rectifier/control unit. However, these problems haven't prevented the system from functioning as designed.

Hollow censopheres of fly ash may have walls so thin that they will appear to be air voids when they appear on a polished slab prepared for air void determination by ASTM C457. Therefore the following precautions are recommended. 1. The operator of the linear traverse equipment should be aware of the appearance of fly ash and alert to avoid countin

A shale from a construction site on Route 23 in Wise County, Virginia, was classified using Deo's classification system, and the usefulness of the classification system was evaluated. In addition, rock that had previously been used in the development of an acid soak test was re-sampled for use in determining the lowest percentage of concentrated su

The research on which this paper is based was performed as part of a study to develop a system for generating a one-to-two year forecast of monthly cash flows for the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation. It revealed that presently used cash flow forecasting methods consistently underestimate ending cash balances. In addition, it show
