Experimental Feature, Construction Project F 160(10), U.S. 127, Mercer County, Experimental Guardrail Installations And Performance Studies, James H. Havens

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

The report submitted herewith pertains to an experimental installation of aluminum guardrails which was completed in February, 1963. Progress reports, as required by PPM's 60-2 and 50-1.1, have been pending since the project began; however, all of the eligible information has been combined into the current report. Of course, long-time performance histories cannot yet be documented; and, for that reason, the report is considered to be interim rather than final.

Camber Design Study For Concrete Pipe Culvert, Robert C. Deen

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

When a pipe culvert is constructed on or near the natural ground surface and covered by a highway fill or embankment, the weight of the embankment compresses and consolidates the foundation soil, settlement occurs, and the culvert subsides and sags below the original grade line. Experience has shown that culverts which become clogged with silt and debris, become disjointed and faulted, leak, become undermined, and endanger the stability of the embankment. These and other damages attendant to settlement restrict the flow of water, prevent adequate inspection of the structure, and may eventually require extensive maintenance or complete replacement of the …

Use Of Kentucky Rock Asphalt For De-Slicking Purposes, James H. Havens

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

According to Joe Creason's report appearing in the Courier-Journal June 23, 1957 (copy attached), the Kentucky Rock Asphalt Company elected, June 14, 1957, to liquidate. Among the assets was a stockpile of material which was valued at $197,000 (I recall that the stated price, F.O.B. Sweden, in 1955 was $7.00 per ton); this calculates to be 28,140 tons-- which is a small quantity in comparison to the gross production (200,000 to 275,000 tons; $1.2 to $1.75 million) during some prior years. Apparently 1956 was the last year of sales, and I believe that Kentucky was the sole purchaser. Perhaps as …

Construction Of A Class I, Type A Surface Containing Paradise Slag Aggregate (Experimental) Drakesboro-Paradise Road (Ky 176), Robert L. Florence

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

The Drakesboro-Paradise Road (KY 176), extending 2.84 miles from its junction with KY 70 at Drakesboro to a point on KY 176 approximately 1.8 miles southwest of Paradise, was surfaced in early August with a 1 1/4-in, course of Class I, Type A bituminous concrete containing 40 percent wet-bottom-boiler slag from the T.V.A. power plant at Paradise, Kentucky. The use of the slag was on an experimental basis, and the objective was to determine the feasibility of utilizing the slag as an anti-skid aggregate in other, high-type,bituminous surfacing in that area. A laboratory investigation preceded the field experiment, and the …

Manufactured (Crushed), Limestone, Fine Aggregate For Portland Cement Concrete, James H. Havens

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

Manufactured (crushed), limestone, fine aggregate for use in structural concrete, concrete base courses for pavements, or as may otherwise be designated, shall be manufactured by crushing and sizing aggregate-quality limestones and dolomites. Manufactured (crushed), limestone, fine aggregate shall not be used in concrete surface courses for pavements or bridge decks unless specifically authorized by the Engineer.

Investigation Of Effects Of Cold Forming On Mechanical Properties, Kenneth W. Karren, George Winter

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

INTRODUCTION All of the divisions of this report consist of either experimental or theoretical investigations of the various aspects of predicting the magnitude and distribution of changes in the mechanical properties (particularly the yield strength) of coldformed members. The prior work performed under this project, was conducted to determine the changes brought about in the mechanical properties of structural sheet steels by (1) simple uniform uni-directional prestrain of varying amounts and (2) simple cold working caused by cold forming sheet into corners as is commonly done in light gage cold formed structural members. Included in this report are: a study …

Water Yields In Utah Developing A State Water Plan, Jay M. Bagley, Roland W. Jeppson, Cleve H. Milligan

Reports

Need and Importance of Study

Utah's problems of water use and water supply are becoming increasingly important. They are also becoming increasingly complex as competition for our water resources becomes more keen among various types of uses. In the formulation of plans for sound and efficient use of water it is essential to know the characteristics of occurrence and use of water supplies so that requirements can be balanced most effectively and economically against supply. This ordinarily requires basic hydrologic data to determine relations among climate, water losses, and water yield from watersheds.

Such data are often unavailable - especially …

The Performance Of Beams And Columns Continuously-Braced With Diaphragms, Gordon P. Fisher, S. J. Errera

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

INTRODUCTION Under the general title of "Performance of Steel-Framed Buildings and Structural Members Braced with Light-Gage Steel Diaphragms", sponsored at Cornell University by the American Iron and Steel Institute, an investigation has been proceeding in two separate but closely interrelated phases, referred to as: Subproject A - Performance of Steel-Framed Buildings Braced with Light-Gage Steel Diaphragms Subproject B - Performance of Beams and Columns Continuously-Braced with Diaphragms. The investigation now referred to as Subproject B was sponsored by the American Institute of Steel Construction from June, 1961 to June, 1963 after which A.I.S.I. assumed sponsorship with the cooperation of A.I.S.C. …

Worldwide Training In Air Pollution Control, Harold M. Cota

Civil and Environmental Engineering

A survey of academic training in air pollution control was recently conducted for the APCA Education Council. Questionnaires were sent to faculty at over 200 universities in the United States and 150 universities around the world. This paper lists the schools which completed the questionnaire and includes the number of both undergraduate and graduate courses available, the academic department, and the range of research projects presently underway. The findings indicate that air pollution is a subject being taught worldwide. Most schools predict that their current level of instruction will not change in the next five years. Additions and corrections are …

Use Of Preformed, Compressed, Neoprene Seals In Joints Of Concrete Bridge Decks, Ronald D. Hughes

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

Two types of seals are proposed for installation in contraction and construction joints in Ramp A, Ramp B, and the Main-Line structures from Third Street to Preston Street on Project I64-2(24)4, Jefferson County. The majority of contraction and construction joints are to be sealed with the preformed, compressed, neoprene seals. Specific joints in each structure will be sealed with cold-applied, elastomeric-type, joint-sealing compound; and these will be used as control joints for evaluation of the preformed, compressed, neoprene seals. Installation of all seals will be observed, and inspections will be made periodically. The performance of mastic-type sealants in joints in …

Kentucky Rock Asphalt, Traffic-Bound Bases, George R. Laughlin

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

Kentucky rock asphalt (a medium-grained quartz sandstone impregnated with natural bitumen) occurs as major deposits in Edmonson, Grayson, Hardin, Breckinridge, Logan and Warren Counties. Physiographically these deposits occur along the southeastern margin of the Western Coal Field. Geologically the Caseyville formation (particularly the Bee Spring member) of the Pottsville series of the Pennsylvania strata and the Hardinsburg and Cypress sandstones of the Middle Chester series of the Mississippian strata are of interest. The areal geology of Kentucky is shown in Figure 1 and the locations of rock asphalt deposits are depicted in Figure 2.
