Temporary threshold shifts were measured repeatedly during a session in order to determine effects of interstimulus interval (ISI) on the shift. The fatiguing sound was a 3-minute, 110-dB-SPL, 4,000-Hz tone. Immediately following the 3-minute stimulation, Bekesy-audiometric tracings were made for 3 minutes at 5,656 Hz. Then the subject sat quietly

This report describes a study which was undertaken to evaluate the effect of the amount of soil binder on the engineering properties of asphalt-treated paving materials. For this study soil binder was considered to be aggregate finer than U. S. standard sieve size No. 40. The static and repeated-load indirect tensile tests were used to measure engi

The purpose of the trip was to inspect the installation of ten ASEA screw-type retarders. The retarders are a part of a sulfur-wood chip dumping facility. The ASEA retarders were installed to reduce the noise caused by empty freight cars when they couple (local residents had complained.) Ten units had been installed in two groups of three set to re

The first step to improving the performance of retarder control algorithms is to conduct an exhaustive study of existing algorithms. Retarder control algorithms described in König’s 1969 paper and those used by WABCO (as revealed in their patents) are described. Two new algorithms proposed by Peter Wong are also described. The König paper is import

The original work plan specified that laboratory tests would be conducted to determine the most suitable resins for overlay work. It must be pointed out that the Oregon State Highway Division was not set up to do polymer research, but only to test existing resin formulations that were readily available from chemical companies. After a literature se

One of the major problems at the East Deerfield railroad yard is that the mainline goes through the middle of the yard, thus creating a substantial number of mainline crossing movements between one side of the yard and the other. The purpose of this short working note is to document the alternatives considered in the mainline relocation study proce

An experimental testing procedure has been established in the report, for quantitative analysis of overlays designed to reduce reflection cracking. From this testing procedure the overlay scheme that shows the most resistance to cracking can be chosen. The procedure uses crack propagation tests on overlay samples which are conducted on a machine ca

Previous studies on the effects of highway construction upon land use have focused mainly upon the effects of the construction of new highways. In view of a new emphasis upon upgrading and expanding existing facilities rather than building new ones, the need arises for information concerning the effects of such improvements upon land use.
