The broad objective of the research described in this report is to establish whether the resistance to penetration predicted by any of the commonly used pile driving formulas agrees with that found by the wave equation, and if so, to determine which piles, driving hammers, and soil resistances provide agreement. The use of the wave equation to dete

This report describes a study conducted to determine the temperature gradient throughout the depth of a six inch concrete bridge deck. The bridge deck selected for study was constructed using lightweight concrete for the center spans and sand and gravel concrete for the remaining spans. This enabled us to determine the difference, if any, in the te
