Truck Design And Usage And Highway Pavement Performance, Robert C. Deen, Herbert F. Southgate

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

When the term highway pavement is used, most people think of the moderate to thick systems on which their vehicles travel on intermediate- or high-type roadways. These pavement systems are typically constructed of bituminous concrete or portland cement concrete. This is not to say that low-volume roads do not have a pavement system; however, in case of low-volume roads, the pavement system usually consists of unbound aggregates, sod, soil materials, or at the most very thin or moderate applications of a binding material. It is the high-type pavement systems to which the comments in this paper will be addressed specifically. …

Cracking In Concrete Pavement, Robert C. Deen, James H. Havens, Assaf S. Rahal, Wm. Vernon Azevedo

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

Cracking of portland cement concrete pavements is a common, even expected, occurrence. To minimize potentially detrimental effects, it is necessary to understand mechanisms that might be used to explain such behavior so that measures may be developed and implemented to control the occurrence of such cracking. Several "theories" are discussed that might provide the mechanisms of pavement cracking. An alternate meachanism, based on fatigue loading of the concrete by temperature expansions-contrations, for the development of so-called D-cracking is offered.

Obtaining, Seasoning & Burning Wood: Part One In A Series On Wood As A Fuel Source, Kathy Collier, Larry W. Turner

Agricultural Engineering Energy Series

Heating with wood has become increasingly popular in Kentucky because firewood is a renewable energy source which, when used properly, is relatively clean, efficient and safe. A wood heating system can reduce fuel costs, supplement other heating sources and provide aesthetic appeal.

Stoves, Furnaces & Fireplaces: Part Two In A Series On Wood As A Fuel Source, Kathy Collier, Larry W. Turner

Agricultural Engineering Energy Series

As the costs of all types of fossil fuels increase, more and more attention is being focused upon the role that wood may play in the heating of homes. Many people want to learn more about how to prepare firewood, how to choose and operate a wood heater, and the possible problems related to home heating with wood.

Installation & Operation Of Wood Heating Systems: Part Three In A Series On Wood As A Fuel Source, Larry W. Turner, Kathy Collier

Agricultural Engineering Energy Series

The installation and operation of wood heating units are both very important factors in the safe, efficient use of wood as a heating fuel. There are several considerations which should be taken into account when wood is used, that are not involved in common oil, gas, or electric systems. These include obtaining the wood; loading, starting and tending the fire; removing ashes; and inspection and cleaning of the chimney. Placement of the unit is also important in the distribution of heat and safe operation. The following guidelines should be helpful in planning, installing, and operating your wood heating system.

Cost-Effectiveness Of Lane And Shoulder Widening Of Rural, Two-Lane Roads In Kentucky, Charles V. Zegeer, Jesse G. Mayes

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

The purpose of the study was to determine the cost-effectiveness of widening lanes and shoulders on rural, two-lane roads. Information concerning geometries, accidents, and traffic volumes was obtained for over 15,000 miles (25,000 km) of roads. Reductions in accident rates occurred as lane and shoulder widths increased. Run-off-road and opposite direction accidents were the primary accident types associated with narrow lanes and shoulders. Reductions in accidents ranged from 10 to 39 percent for lane widening and 6 to 21 percent for shoulder widening. Priority listings were prepared for 531 projects based on critical rate factor. Priority listings were also prepared …

Development Of Warrants For Left-Turn Lanes, Kenneth R. Agent

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

Warrants for the installation of separate left-turn lanes were developed. Literature was reviewed, and policies and practices in other states were surveyed. Accident analyses of locations with and without separate left-turn lanes were conducted. Computer simulation was used to determine the relationship between and among traffic delay and load factor and traffic volume, percent left-turns, cycle length, and cycle split. The relationship between left-turn accidents and conflicts was investigated.

Warrants were developed involving the following three general areas: (1) accident experience, (2) volumes (based on delay), and (3) traffic conflicts.

Statewide Survey Of Skid Resistances Of Pavements (1978), Rolands L. Rizenbergs, James L. Burchett

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

Statewide survey of skid resistances continued in 1978 with the testing of 2,943 miles (4,736 km) of state primary roads and 2,405 miles (3,870 km) of state secondary roads. About 10 percent of both the state primary mileage and the state secondary mileage had an average skid number of 28 or less. These pavements, in pariticular, should be considered for de-slicking.

In 1977 and 1978, 35 percent of the mileage of rural, state-maintained roads in Kentucky were surveyed. These roads carried 87 percent of all traffic on rural, state-maintained roads.

Delineation Of Stop-Sign Approaches, Kenneth R. Agent

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

The objective of this study was to use new types of delineation at a stop approach to determine if drivers could be made more aware of the "Stop" situation ahead. The treatments involved post delineators, raised markers, and transverse striping placed at various spacings in advance of the "Stop" signs. Speeds were measured 200 feet (61 m) and 1,200 feet (366 m) in advance of the "Stop" sign. Brakelight distances were also recorded.

The various delineations provided significant reductions in speeds. Post delineators in combination with transverse stripes were the most effective. No significant difference was found between results obtained …

Raised Pavement Markers At High-Hazard Locations, Jerry G. Pigman, Kenneth R. Agent

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

Even though a large number of potentially hazardous locations exist on rural, two-lane roads, guidelines have not been developed for use of raised pavement markers under night and during adverse weather conditions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of raised markers at a sharp curve and narrow bridge in Kentucky. Visual observations, speed data, encroachment data, and accident data were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the markers.

Extensive visual observations of the sharp curve and narrow bridge in this study have provided data to support recommendations for improved delineation at similar sites on rural, two-lane …

Kentucky Culvert Study: An Engineering Review Of Policies And Practices Related To Procurement Of Culvert And Sewer Pipe, Byrd, Tallamy, Macdonald And Lewis

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

Objectives: This study was undertaken to provide the Kentucky Department of Transportation (KyDOT) with 1 ) information concerning the present state-of-the-art in the selection of culvert pipes with reference to the problem of drainage water from coal mines, shales and other excavations which may be highly acidic; and 2 ) recommendations on alternative materials and/or special treatments for pipes in areas of acid drain water.

Methodology: The study consisted of a review of the literature from selected highway agencies including Kentucky, a review of culvert pipe selection practices in other states and discussions with persons knowledgeable about pipe materials.

Findings: …

Road Rater And Benkelman Beam Pavement Deflections, Gary W. Sharpe, Herbert F. Southgate

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

The Benkelman beam has been one of the most commonly used methods of measuring surface deflections of a highway pavement. A Benkelman beam is based on a simple lever-arm principle and uses dial guages to measure surface deflection under an applied load. In 1971, the Commonwealth of Kentucky purchased a Road Rater for use by the Department of Transportation, Division of Research. The Road Rater applies a sinusoidal force to the pavement at a fixed frequency; surface wave velocities are measured and electronically integrated to obtain surface deflections, Since 1971, work has progressed toward the development of a pavement evaluation …

Charged Membrane, Low Pressure Ultrafiltration To Treat Acid Mine Drainage Waters, Dibakar Bhattacharyya, Robert B. Grieves, Shiela Shelton

KWRRI Research Reports

Low-pressure ultrafiltration with negatively-charged, non-cellulosic membranes is shown to be a feasible process in terms of achieving the simultaneous separation of dissolved metals (and sulfate) and of suspended solids from acid mine drainage water. The process is evaluated in terms of the simultaneous achievement of good water flux without membrane fouling and of adequate ultrafiltrate quality at high water recovery for water reuse operation.

At a transmembrane pressure of 5.6 x 10⁵ N/m², water fluxes in the range of 5.8 x 10^-4 cm/sec to 12.5 x 10^-4 cm/sec could be obtained at 97% water recovery. …

Problem Identification For Highway Safety Plan, Jerry G. Pigman, Kenneth R. Agent

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

To comply with Section 402, Title 23 of the United States Code, each state is required to prepare a annual highway safety program. Kentucky's program, which includes identification, programming, budgeting, and evaluation of highway safety projects, is intended to have a positive impact on the reduction of traffic accidents. The first step in the program, problem identification, requires systematic, statistical analyses of accident records. In-depth analyses of accident data were performed, and 25 problem areas were investigated. Accident rates were found for counties and cities in the following categories: total accidents, fatal accidents, accidents by driver age and sex, and …
