This study was undertaken to develop a permeable yet stable, asphalt-treated, layered shoulder drainage system for a typical pavement section. Stability and permeability characteristics of several mixes were evaluated in the laboratory. Two installations were constructed in North Louisiana on Interstate 20 using the design criteria established by t

A digital data acquisition system has been designed to meet the need for a long duration noise analysis capability. By sampling the DC outputs from sound level meters, it has been possible to make twenty-four hour or longer recordings, in contrast to the one-hour recordings possible on seven-inch analog tape reels. The system is made up of a digita

Data collected on 111 interstate highway projects in Virginia were analyzed by multi-regression analysis and the rating coefficient for each type of distress determined. By this means, the total pavement distress and, hence, the maintenance rating of each pavement was obtained. The types of distress that were found to influence the maintenance rati

The basic issue concerning mopeds is whether they should be considered as being bicycles - and, basically, be free of regulation, or as motorcycles - and thus be subject to all regulations applicable to motor vehicles.
