Pavement Roughness Studies, James H. Havens

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

During 1961, the equivalent of about 800 lane-miles of pavement were tested and analyzed. The largest portion of this mileage was on completed Interstate projects. In November, three pavements selected by the Bureau of Public Roads for serviceability-index ratings (6) were tested; and these are discussed briefly in this report.

Periodic surveillance of the roughness of all of the roads presently listed in Tables 1 and 2 is contemplated. New primary and Interstate construction will be included in the future. Thus, each respective project may be eventually characterized by a history of roughness measurements.

Base Stabilization Bryantsville-Beuna Vista Road, Garrard County, Robert C. Deen

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

Construction plans for the summer of 1961 called for the placement of a bituminous surface (Class C-1) on Ky. 753 in Garrard County (see Fig. 1). The project extends from US 27 in Bryantsville to Ky. 152 at Beuna Vista, a distance of approximately 2.8 mites. To prepare the roadbed for this bituminous surfacing, personnel of the Maintenance Division placed additional stone on the roadway and stabilized it with calcium chloride. The Research Division was requested to make recommendations as to application rates of the available stone and calcium chloride and to follow the general performance of the project.

Pavement Slipperiness Studies (A Progress Report), James H. Havens, Rolands L. Rizenbergs

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

Traction or frictional resistance of tires on clean, dry pavements tends to be fairly high (coefficient of friction of 0.6 to 0.8) and to be independent of the texture of the pavement surface. In contrast, the loss of traction on a wet pavement is due entirely to lubrication effects; and, while wet friction seems to be fairly independent of the identity of the aggregate, it is extremely dependent upon the texture and porosity of the surface. Likewise, the mineralogical and lithological characteristics of the aggregates largely determine the natural texture, i.e., type of wear (coarse or fine) which the aggregate …

Cutback Asphalt Emulsion Primer, Type L, Nelson County, Project Rs Group 38 (1961), J. D. Shackelford

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

Personnel of the Research Division visited the Nelson County project to observe the application and behavior of the cutback asphalt emulsion primer, Type L, on Ky. 733, northeast of Boston. The following remarks concerning this project are submitted for your information.

Second Annual Performance Survey Of Reinforced Concrete Pipe Culverts, Ronald D. Hughes

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

A criteria for the design and installation of reinforced concrete pipe culverts was developed by the Bureau of Public Roads in cooperation with the American Concrete Pipe Association and distributed to the various highway agencies in April, 1957, under Circular Memorandum 22-40. This criteria was developed in order to bring together and simplify methods for computing necessary pipe strengths for use under various heights of fill and provide for more effective utilization of reinforced concrete pipe for use as culverts. The memorandum also described various methods for bedding reinforced concrete pipe and outlined procedures for installation of the pipe under …

Class I, Type B, Plant-Mix Initial Treatment, Pac-9, Robert L. Florence

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

Initial surface treatments of so-called traffic-bound macadam rural secondary roads presents a challenging but frustrating problem in the over-all highway program. In many cases, these roads do not merit the expenditures that would be needed to construct the type of pavement desired, yet there is a need for a dust-free, all-weather type of surface for these roads. It may be argued, for instance, that initial surfacing should be deferred until such time that the construction of a proper base and surface would be justified. On the other hand, one might argue that even a light surfacing would be preferred despite …

A Modified Class I Surface Mixture, Robert L. Florence

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

Since the summer of 1954, it has been the practice of the Department to require only natural. sand or slag as the fine aggregate in high-type (Class I, Type B) bituminous surface mixtures. This, of course, was done in order to build skid resistance into the mixture, i.e. by use of polish-resistant fine aggregate. At first, this was specified by means of plan notes; and, during 1957, an Amendment was made to the Standard Specifications. While this has apparently reduced the slickness problem it has created problems relating to the durability and, at times, the stability of the surface course.

Seal Coat Application To Clark Memorial Bridge, Robert C. Deen

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

The maintenance of the surface of the approach ramps and bridge deck of the Clark Memorial Bridge in Louisville has presented certain problems over the past few years. The ramps at each end of the bridge are rather steep, and on the Louisville side the ramp intersects Main Street where traffic movements are controlled by traffic signals. Thus, the northbound traffic accelerating upgrade from a stop and the southbound traffic braking to a stop on the downgrade present two very severe conditions that the surface must withstand. The increased use of salt for snow and ice removal has also contributed …
