Report No. 2 On A Test Road For The Evaluation Of Sandstone As An Aggregate In Plant-Mix Bituminous Pavements, Ellis G. Williams

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

This report which presents results from additional study of the Sandstone Test Road located on S.R. 30 in Magoffin and Breathitt Counties, is a supplement to Report No. 1 dated April, 1952. The project consisted of a laboratory investigation and construction of a 20-mile test road, with all the original work carried out over a period from early 1950 to November 1951.

Details concerning both laboratory and field work are contained in Report No. 1 and need not be discussed here. However, to keep the general objectives of the study clear, they are restated as follows:

Oil Shales In Montana, Richard N. Miller

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Montana has long been known to have very large resources of coal and oil, and undetermined amounts of oil shale. The reserves of coal and oil have been proven, in part, and have been produced commercially, but not much is known about the extent and apparent value of the oil shales. Under present .conditions, and according to standards set by the United States Bureau of Mines, the shales are not of commercial value. They are, however, a potentially valuable mineral resource, and portions of them will possibly be utilized, although not in the near future.

Application Of Geology To Highway Engineering In Kentucky, L. E. Gregg, James H. Havens

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

Kentucky, too, is a state where geology abounds. Little credit for this, however, lies with the highway field, because such a prosaic subject is frequently overshadowed by such features as Mammoth Cave, Sky Bridge, Cumberland Falls, Pine Mountain, and extensive underground mineral deposits. Nevertheless; the influence of geology in the highway industry is growing, and it is obvious that some potential contributions have not yet been realized.

Adaptation Of Diesel Rubber-Tired Loading Equipment To A Bedded Fluorspar Mining Problem, Robert Gill Montgomery

Professional Degree Theses

"The fluorspar-zinc orebody at Minerva No. 1 mine near Cave in Rock, in Hardin County, Illinois, would have been classed as non-commercial before the days of flotation milling and mine mechanization. The bulk of the ore requires fine grinding for acceptable beneficiation, and the assay of the head feed runs considerably lower than grades thought to be commercial in the fluorspar district prior to 1940.

However, the reserves found by drilling before the decision was made to invest in mine development, and the construction of a two-product, 250-ton, flotation mill, with complete power plant and surface shops, exceeded 600,000 tons. …

Organization And Execution Of A Major Industrial Electrification Project, Robert F. Mccaw

Professional Degree Theses

"All emergencies, especially those created by war, have marshalled the industrial might of nations, among other things. World War II was no exception; in fact, it produced the greatest expansion of industrial facilities in history.

Most all plants in the country underwent some degree of expansion. In certain industries, the experienced workers of existing plants were employed as nuclei for the organization of the gigantic new plants required to produce the arms and equipment necessary to the conduct of a global war.

This thesis pertains to one phase of the design and construction of such an enterprise. This particular phase …

The Preparation Of Zirconium Powder, Herbert S. Kalish

Professional Degree Theses

"The preparation of zirconium powder by several different methods is fully described and evaluated. Most of the methods described are of a rather classical nature and these methods are discussed as taken from their original sources with suggestions for possible streamlining. Flow sheets are provided.

The first series of steps to produce zirconium powder is almost invariably the production of pure zirconium tetrachloride or pure zirconium oxide from the tetrachloride. The processes described include the sodium reduction of zirconium tetrachloride, sodium reduction of the double alkali fluorides, the calcium reduction of zirconium oxide, hydrogen embrittlement and comminution of reduction products. …

A Combination Waterbound Macadam And Dense-Graded Aggregate Base For Flexible Pavements, William B. Drake

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

This paper is concerned with a flexible base designed primarily to improve the riding qualities of high-type bituminous pavements. Difficulties in control of grades and sections with modern methods of macadam base construction have emphasized needs for effective finishing procedures.

In the project described, an 8-in. base was built in two courses, the lower waterbound macadam being overlain by a densegraded aggregate material suitable for spreading and shaping with a power grader. The base was then surfaced with two courses of a hot bituminous plant mix.

Observations and measurements showed that the combination could be built satisfactorily; construction entailed more …
