Ten Rural Highway Base Stabilization Projects, James H. Havens, William B. Drake Aug 1957

Ten Rural Highway Base Stabilization Projects, James H. Havens, William B. Drake

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

During the last week o£ September, 1956, the Division of Rural Highways requested assistance from the Research Division in conducting a series of ten experimental base stabilization projects which were to be geared more-or-less to a practical rural roads development program in which existing soils and local granular materials might be most advantageously treated and stabilized to provide fairly low cost base courses and surfaces, adequate for light rural traffic. The idea of actually constructing a base and bituminous surface for this type of road would represent a refinement over the traditional traffic-bound base type of construction which usually serves …

A Survey Inspection Of Plain Corrugated Metal Pipe Arches And Multi-Plate Metal Pipe Arches In Kentucky, Eugene M. West Mar 1957

A Survey Inspection Of Plain Corrugated Metal Pipe Arches And Multi-Plate Metal Pipe Arches In Kentucky, Eugene M. West

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

Past observations have indicated that rusting has been rather prevalent in the large, un-paved metal drainage structures most of which have been installed since the opening of the Kentucky Rural Secondary Program in 1949. Since all of these structures are relatively new, and since rusting in any form can be considered a threat to the life of a structure, the Chief Engineer's Office, in 1954, requested that a study be made to determine the over-all frequency possible causes, and individual seriousness of this condition.

Altogether, a total of 86 of these un-paved structures were inspected. Although it would have been …
