The project designated "Concrete Durability Studies" comprises case studies of unusual durability, either in kind or extent. These case studies are directed toward situations in which appearances suggest materials or construction rather than structural causes. Included in this project as Case Study #3 is an occurrence of severe scaling and pattern

In 1970, alcohol contributed to the deaths of over 340 drivers on the Commonwealth of Virginia's roads and a total of 19,000 crashes. Until 1972, Virginia retained the 0.15% presumptive level of intoxication. Advantages of the 0.10% presumptive level included increased deterrence and greater concurrence with medical knowledge as to when a driver's
