This report describes the performance of fabrics used under overlays in an effort to minimize longitudinal and alligator cracking in flexible pavements. It is concluded, although the sample size is small, that the treatments will extend the pavement life an average of about two years.

In reading this book you will undoubtedly discover that a history of North Dakota transportation is really a history of the state itself. Whereas states along the eastern seaboard had been settled for 200 years before the whistle of a steamboat or locomotive was heard, rails stretched across Dakota Territory before there was any significant white p

In recent years more than one-third of the nation's annual traffic fatalities have resulted from vehicle crashes with roadside obstacles. The purpose of this study was to determine if criteria developed for identifying roadside hazard locations in a Georgia study could be applied in Virginia to reduce the number of these crashes. Basically, the stu

Discussed are the design, fabrication, and load testing of girders composed entirely of glass-reinforced polyester (GRP) resin. The girders were 4.9 m (16 ft.) long and had geometric features which included trussed webs, a solid flange plate, and a triangular-shaped cross section. Three of the girders were attached laterally by a GRP cover plate in

This report analyzes the historical patterns of bus transit operations from 1960 to 1974 using data from 50 bus operations. Because of limitations on the available data, the analyzed data do not represent the universe of bus operations, nor is it a random sample, and therefore do not necessarily represent the industry. However, the trends in this s

This volume consists of what was originally intended as the introductory chapters of the Albemarle road history.
