Equations for predicting the transient side force and yawing moment on TACV cars due to a strong side gust are developed. The protection afforded by side rails is estimated. The equations account for transient slender-body effects and growth of vortices on the lee side. For a vehicle speed of 150 mph, the analysis indicates a side gust of 60 mph wo

The design method for secondary roads is based on AASHO Road Test Results and Virginia's design experience. It is divided into two parts. (1) the evaluation of the soil support value of the subgrade, the thickness equivalencies of the paving materials, and the traffic in terms of vehicles per day; and (2) design considerations such as the determina

This study was initiated to determine the correct moisture calibration curves for different nuclear gages. It was found that the Troxler Model 227 had a linear response between count ratio and moisture content. Also, the two calibration curves for this gage were best divided by the optimum moisture content of the soil. The separation value of optim
