Asphalt Surface Treatments For Local Roads And Streets, Ellis G. Williams
Asphalt Surface Treatments For Local Roads And Streets, Ellis G. Williams
Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report
Surface Treatments are thin applications of asphalt, with or without aggregate, to an existing pavement surface. There are many types to choose from when selecting a treatment for a specific purpose.
Because of the broad range of materials and methods available, surface treatments satisfy many needs in effective operation of road and street systems. They are major tools for preventive maintenance and also satisfy many corrective maintenance needs. They are widely and effectively used as the initial surfacing over granular bases. They are increasingly used over cracked, existing surfaces to reduce reflection cracking in asphalt overlays.
It is apparent that …
Highway Safety Research, Development, And Technology Transfer, John A. Deacon
Highway Safety Research, Development, And Technology Transfer, John A. Deacon
Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report
Late in 1987, the Federal Highway Administration assembled a seven-member panel which, guided by a primary contractor, Harrison Boyd & Associates, was charged with the task of developing a recommended five-year research, development, and technology transfer program for highway safety starting in the 1990s. As a part of the task, each panel member prepared an individual position paper to stimulate and focus panel discussions and, ultimately, to provide the basis for a consensus paper. This represents one such individual paper.
Although it is believed that significant safety gains can be achieved in the 1990s and beyond simply by more extensive …

Evaluation Of Lime Stabilized Road Bed, Bobby W. Meade, David L. Allen
Evaluation Of Lime Stabilized Road Bed, Bobby W. Meade, David L. Allen
Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report
In October 1986, the Transportation Research Program of the University of Kentucky published a report evaluating the addition of hydrated lime to the subgrade soils of Section 19 of the Ashland-Alexandria (AA.) highway (1). That study involved laboratory testing only and concluded that the engineering properties of these subgrade soils were significantly improved with the addition of 6 percent (by weight) hydrated lime. It was decided to add hydrated lime to the subgrade soils on Section 19.
Because that procedure had not previously been used in Kentucky, a study was approved to monitor construction procedures and the performance of an …
Allocation Of Highway Costs And Revenues, Jerry G. Pigman, John A. Deacon
Allocation Of Highway Costs And Revenues, Jerry G. Pigman, John A. Deacon
Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report
A continuing task related to highway financing is determination of the appropriate level of taxation for each class of highway user. Cost allocation in various forms has traditionally been the tool used to achieve an equitable assignment of user responsibility. Following is a summary of results from such a cost-allocation study undertaken by the University of Kentucky's Transportation Research Program. The objective of this study is to determine highway cost responsibility of various user classes and to assess revenues relative to costs under existing levels of taxation and under various alternatives considered in the 1988 legislative session.
