Southwestern Iowa, unlike other parts of the State, does not have plentiful near-surface supplies of stone available for highway construction purposes. The long and intensive search for such road material by quarrymen, highway engineers, geologists, and others interested in all phases of stone use resulted in a growing conviction that the only hope

Viscosity, one of the oldest known and tested properties of Asphalt, yet one of the least studied is recently being given the attention it so rightfully deserves. Numerous engineers did recognize the importance of this property to the extent that several papers and magazine articles were written on the subject. Some of these pertaining to viscosity

The study of transportation costs is an extensive, relatively neglected, but dynamic subject. In view of its importance to the well-being of the national transportation network, it is a subject that bids fair to receive increasing attention, although many have found it difficult to comprehend, due both to the inherent conceptual obscurities which a

This study found that, even though more research is needed in the correlation of laboratory mixing with pugmill mixing of hot mix asphalt, repeatability of results in using the Marshall Method can be improved by taking several precautionary measures. The results are highly affected by viscosity of the asphalt and the same condition is seen in pavem

The intended purpose of this study was to determine the effect on traffic behavior of a vehicle stopped on the six-foot shoulder of a two-lane one-way freeway overpass. In the course of the study, however, it became evident that much of the data being collected was adaptable to further analysis dealing with the general operating characteristics of
