Air exchange rates were measured repeatedly in seven Fairbanks buildings throughout the 1982-1983 winter. These buildings ranged from small private homes to medium sized grade schools. Only the two grade schools had mechanical ventilation systems. Two air exchange measurement techniques were used, the ASTM Standard Leakage Rate by the Sulfur hexafl

The use of microwave reflection measurements to continuously and nondestructively monitor the hydration of concrete is described. The method relies upon the influence of the free-water content on the dielectric properties of the concrete. Use of the method, on concrete blocks showed linear relations between the compressive strength, water-cement ra

This report describes the design of an asphalt mix containing up to 3.0% closed cell waste rubber and a field installation of the mix. The Marshall design procedure was used to determine the asphalt content for the mix containing 3.0% rubber as well as that of a control mix which did not contain rubber. In the field installation, 211 tons of mix co
