A study of cores from both the concrete and subbase of the cracked pavement, along with an examination of the in-place subgrade and subbase, suggested that there was no structural damage to the pavement except for the cracking. The situation was aggravated by the poor lateral drainage, which was being corrected by the excavation of shoulder materia

The Virginia Department of Highways has many data systems, and among them highway locations are referenced in various ways. While each of the several present systems is useful for its primary intended purpose, the ability to automatically relate the systems through the use of a common locator method would yield much greater benefits. In fact, the f
