Obtaining Highway Engineering Services From Professional Engineers In Private Practice, R. E. Shaver, John W. Hutchinson

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

Current state highway department procedures for obtaining private professional engineering services are reviewed and summarized as part of a study of the consulting engineering contracting policy and procedures of the Kentucky Department of Highways. The current bases used by state highway departments for establishment of fees for the professional services of Engineering Consultants, Attorneys, Right-of-Way Appraisers, Right-of-Way Buyers, and Architects are summarized, by state, in Table 1. In general, the consulting engineering contracting practices followed in Kentucky were found to be a combination of the most desirable points of procedure represented in the replies received from other state highway departments …

A General Study Of Highway Construction Materials Jefferson County (A Pilot Study), James H. Havens, Robert C. Deen

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

The general geology of Jefferson County is very similar to that of other counties lying along the fringes of the Outer Bluegrass area -- that is to say, bedrocks are more-or-less horizontally stratified and consist principally of limestones and shales. The present topography is largely the result of erosion; the soil mantles are residual products of weathering of the uppermost stratum of bedrock or shale (as the case may be).

The unique features of the area are associated with the Ohio River and outwashes resulting from encroachments of two glaciations. The toe or southern boundary of ice did not cross …

Where Is Moly?, A. L. Hatfield

Agronomy Notes

Is moly in hiding or has it gone down the river? Recent tests in Graves County suggest that it is probably just in hiding.

Moly (molybdenum) is of importance to Kentucky farmers because of its unique relation to soil acidity and legume growth. Many other trace or minor elements necessary for plant growth are most available to crops under acid soil conditions. Molybdenum becomes more available as the soil acidity approaches neutrality.

Agronomy Notes, No. 32, S. H. Phillips

Agronomy Notes

Silo Fillers Disease, caused by nitrogen dioxide, was discussed in a joint Agronomy and Pharmacology release. Dr. Mark Luckens, College of Pharmacy, has prepared strips of potassium iodide - starch test paper to assist in detecting this deadly gas in silos and feeding areas. These strips are small (5/8" x - 2") and change to a blue color when in contact with nitrogen dioxide. We have 300 strips available for use by County Agents.

Agricultural Limestone In Kentucky, George D. Corder

Agronomy Notes

Kentucky farmers invested about $6 million in agricultural limestone in 1964. However, much more lime than this should have been used if farmers get the most economical crop production and the most efficient use of fertilizers that are applied or the fertility that is already in the soil.

Weighing Vehicles In Motion [1965], Civil Engineering Department, University Of Kentucky

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

An agreement between the Kentucky Department of Highways and the University of Kentucky Research Foundation dated October 1, 1964 defined the minimum objectives of the subject research project as follows:

1. A. Developing and furnishing plans for an in-stream transducer system for dynamic axle weighing with manufacturers' specifications for the components required.
2. B. Constructing and furnishing a scale having an optimum mechanical configuration and which would perform the dynamic axle-weighing function in an overall data-gathering system, as determined in A. above.

This report describes the way in which these objectives were attained by the project staff during the period October 1, …

Topdress Alfalfa This Fall, George D. Corder

Agronomy Notes

Good stands of alfalfa should be fertilized even though the alfalfa weevil is causing some concern. This fall, say after the last harvest, is a good time to topdress with phosphate, potash and boron fertilizers.

Insulation Of Concrete Bridge Decks, W. A. Mossbarger Jr.

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

The complete elimination of snow and ice from principal highways would dispel the last real impediment from winter-time driving. It is not possible, of course, to prevent rain and snow from falling onto the roadway nor to heat endless miles of roads in order to keep them snow-and ice-free. Applications of de-icing salts during the onset or following icy weather has become a standard practice since 1948, and the quantity of salt used for this purpose has increased steadily each successive year. At the present time, salting provides the most expediently satisfactory treatment for icing conditions. Bridges sometimes pose a …
