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 contents of this report, like its predecessors, is designed to provide the necessary data base for identifying trends in the distribution of grai

This study was initiated to provide an integrated system of reporting, storing, and retrieving of construction and material test data using computerized (storage-retrieval) and quality control techniques. The findings reported in this interim report cover the development and implementation of the system of reporting test data generated by the Mater

Three aspects of slurry wall construction are considered, These are (1) the alteration of the initial stress state in the soil adjacent to the wall by the trench excavation and support process, (2) the further alteration of the initial stress condition for a cast-in-place wall by placement of the high density concrete slurry and subsequent shrinkag

Two sections of Interstate 10 have been selected for study to determine the initial roughness and subsequent change in roughness with time. The two sections represent different design and construction procedures.Section 1 is located on I-10 between LaPlace and Kenner and is approximately 12 miles in length. This section was constructed with precast

This research focused on the application of finite element computer programs to complex bridge structures which may be idealized as an assemblage of one and two-dimensional elements. Each two-dimensional element may be either triangular or quadrilateral in shape. They may be arbitrarily located in space by merely specifying the coordinates at the c

This report presents the general concept of the Cost-Effectiveness analysis procedure for roadside safety improvement alternatives, as well as the necessary information for interpretation and effective utilization of the Cost- Effectiveness computer program output. Typical outputs from the program are included, and these data are utilized to illust

The effects of creep and shrinkage strains in concrete are dependent on variables such as materials, stress level, and environment. In this investigation, creep and shrinkage strains as functions of time were determined for four different concretes from four different geographical areas of Texas (Dallas, San Antonio, Odessa, Lufkin). These four loc

This report presents the results of a study of the accuracy of home interview survey data in estimating zonal trip ends. The study is based on 100 percent survey data collected by the Texas Highway Department in three apparently homogeneous, adjacent zones in San Antonio. The general data analysis confirmed the homogeneity of the travel characteris

The objectives of this research project were to develop improved design procedures and guidelines for major (i.e., freeway-to-freeway) interchanges through the examination and analysis of existing design procedures and current freeway operational characteristics. Pertinent information was gathered through a review of the literature, conversations w

The study reports the results of a sonic boom field study conducted in Sweden during October 1972. Ten female subjects were tested indoors on each of six days. Two age groups were studied: 20-35 and 50-65 years. Fighter aircraft flying at various heights over the test site produced booms with outdoor overpressures ranging from 60-640 N/sq.m. The nu

The railroad industry has moved to supplement the current knowledge in the areas of prediction of noise emitted by railroad operations in anticipation of Federal and State regulations concerning the environment. This report is largely directed at satisfaction of the "noise elements" portion of the State of California Code Number 65302 and to provid

The report contains a description of the proposed uniform reporting system for the urban mass transit industry. It is presented in four volumes: Part I - Task Summary contains a description of how Task III was accomplished and the conclusions and recommendations reached at the end of the task. Part II - Reporting System Instructions contains genera

The in-flight performance of civilian instrument-rated pilots using two different types of attitude indicators in a general aviation aircraft was measured during typical instrument flying maneuvers. The instruments were an inside-out (moving-horizon) indicator and an outside-in (moving aircraft) indicator. The subjects were divided into low and hig

The Framingham Relative Weight Index (FRWI) of obesity was described in previous reports as a screening aid for detecting susceptibility to coronary heart disease (CHD). FRWI calculation requires measured values of height and weight but the height and weight values on standard airman medical applications are usually stated estimates of the examinee

The development of experimental facilities for rail vehicle testing at the DOT High Speed Ground Test Center is being complemented by analytical studies. The purpose of this effort has been to gain insight into the dynamics of rail vehicles to guide the equipment development and to establish an analytic framework for the design and interpretation o
