This study established blood alcohol levels in man at 12,000 ft. with and without supplemental oxygen and at 20,000 ft. with supplemental oxygen. At 2.50ml. of 100 proof bourbon/kg. body weight, subjects exhibited a lower blood alcohol level at 12,000 ft. without supplemental oxygen than at 20,000 ft. with supplemental oxygen. A difference in blood

The steady increase in highway maintenance costs has emphasized the need for an extensive study of the entire maintenance problem. A definite demand exists for the immediate application of modern methods of bookkeeping, the use of up-dated equipment, and the utility of new and improved materials technology. In particular, the winter maintenance of

Four series of five specimens each were investigated for static and fatigue strength. These four series differed in that there were two variables, the first being the subsidence of concrete around reinforcing bars and the second being shrinkage due to two different curing conditions. The combinations of these variables were then compared to each ot

The complex nature of highway pavements and the demands placed on them by traffic and environment have resulted in a piecemeal and incomplete design methodology. It has become apparent from analysis of the problem that realistic analyses of pavement design and management problems can be obtained only by looking at the total pavement system, i.e., t
