• Abstract:
  This study was initiated to provide an integrated system of reporting, storing, and retrieving of construction and material test data using computerized (storage-retrieval) and quality control techniques. The findings reported in this interim report cover the development and implementation of the system of reporting test data generated by the Materials Section. ; The operational system has replaced the manual system of typing and filing test reports. The system is capable of generating, for distribution, standard test reports for aggregate, cement, steel, and bituminous material. Input is from punched cards. The system is also capable of generating a special summary report for quality control evaluation of stored data. The system has provided, in addition to convenience, a monetary savings from reduction in typing and filing effort. The system will be expanded to cover data generated by project construction and material within the Highway Department.
