This report describes the results to date in a limited study, including laboratory tests and field evaluations, of the suitability of bituminized fiber pipe for use as highway culverts. Crushing strength data obtained from three-edge bearing tests indicate that bituminized fiber culverts, as currently produced, are not as strong as, and should not

Tolerance for all hot environments cannot be defined by a single criterion. At least three types of tolerance are discussed which might occur in aerospace activities. The tolerance categories have been designated (1) pain limited, (2) heat storage limited and (3) systems limited. Pain limited exposures are of short duration and require very high te

Asphaltic pavements in Virginia had shown cracks in the surface layers only, and this had led to the belief that the durability properties of the asphalt had not been what they should have been and that the asphalt specifications needed to be revised. Recommendations from the study were incorporated in Department specifications.
