A major study of asphalt concrete properties and performance of Alaska's highways was completed in 1982. The project data base was obtained from 117 statewide pavement sections through numerous core samples and measurements of cracking, patching and rutting. Primary research objectives were to: 1) provide an idea of the in-service composition of as

Solar electric systems have some applications in the maintenance and operation of highway facilities. This report describes a project, performed by the Council in cooperation with the Traffic and Safety Division for the purpose of demonstrating the use of such a system in traffic counters and of developing practical experience in this new technolog

This study examined the operational characteristics of the four-mile section of Route 8 between Routes 57 and 58. It was noted that these characteristics were significantly improved after provision of the experimental passing zones. Average and 85th percentile speeds both increased significantly, indicating an improved traffic flow and level of ser

A contraflow lane is in operation on I-45N in Houston during both the morning and afternoon peaks. Operation of that lane requires taking a lane away from the off-peak direction mixed-flow traffic to serve as the contraflow lane. It was recognized at the outset that, at some time, off-peak direction traffic would become sufficiently large to cause

A study of the installation and three-year performance evaluation of a fabric-reinforced bituminous concrete overlay of a jointed concrete pavement is reported. The fabric, a polypropylene in an asphaltic mastic, was shown to act as a significant deterrent to the development of reflection cracks in an overlay exposed to over 30,000 vehicles per day

The Arlington-Fairfax County section of 1-66 is similar to manyurban highway projects, yet in many ways this project represents amilestone in urban transportation planning. 1-66, not unlike manyothers, required non-technical political groups to make difficult,technically complex decisions. These decisions took place over along period of time, 1959-

This study investigated the feasibility of using neoprene pads confined by steel end caps instead of sulfur-mortar caps in compressive strength tests on concrete cylinders. The 1/2 in. (13 mm) thick neoprene pads had a 50 durometer hardness and were cut to fit in the end caps, which had an inside diameter of 6-1/4 in. (159 mm) with a tolerance of +

Recent research has led to the development of durable modified-sulphur mortars, concretes, and coatings. All of the methods of using sulphur as a binder for rigid concrete rely on the reaction of one or more modifiers to stabilize, in the hardened state, at least a portion of the sulphur in its less brittle, less dense form. The durability of the c

The objective of the project was to place a CERL/Kelly-Vail testing unit and a microwave oven in the field to perform tests of plastic concrete on construction projects.The CERL/K-V tests were to determine water and cement content of the concrete and were evaluated as a method of predicting 28-day concrete strength.Although the water and cement con

This interim report is to report on the status and performance to date of an experimental bridge deck overlay of polymer concrete consisting of 4 courses of polyester-styrene resin monomer and sand aggregate. The primary purpose of such an overlay is to bar against moisture penetrating into the top surface of the concrete and perpetuating corrosion
