Interim Report On Rural Secondary, Base Stabilization Projects, Robert C. Deen, J. D. Shackelford Jun 1963

Interim Report On Rural Secondary, Base Stabilization Projects, Robert C. Deen, J. D. Shackelford

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

Early in 1962, the Division of Rural Highways selected several base stabilization projects for construction during the 1962 season. These projects were to involve the addition of 1-1/2 to 3 inches of compacted granular base to existing, rural secondary, traffic-bound macadam roads. Since these roads were not intended to be surfaced, calcium chloride and sodium chloride were to be added to the additional granular base material in an attempt to retain or "hold" the aggregate on the road. This treatment was in tended to improve the road and to build up the base over a period of a few years …

Experimental Use Of Thermo-Plastic Pavement-Striping Materials, James H. Havens Apr 1963

Experimental Use Of Thermo-Plastic Pavement-Striping Materials, James H. Havens

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

The purposes and objectives of this experimental study are: 1) to evaluate the application and performance characteristics of hot-melt plastic, pavement-striping materials which are presently prominent and known commercially as "Catatherm" and "Perma-Line"; 2) to compare the performance of these materials with the performance of painted stripes applied and re-newed according to the current practices of the Kentucky Department of Highways; and 3) to evaluate the economics of these striping materials in terms of cost-per-mile per-day-of-useful-life, The project is described more fully in the "Proposal... " (approved by Division Engineer, September 7, 1962) and in Report No. 1 (Pre-Construction Report) …

Planning And Financing County Bridge Programs, Jean E. Hittle, D. G. Shurig Mar 1963

Planning And Financing County Bridge Programs, Jean E. Hittle, D. G. Shurig

Indiana Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) Publications

This manual has been developed to review several different areas of information related to county bridge improvement programs, including (1) the authority and jurisdiction over county bridges (Section II), (2) the various sources of funds for construction and repair of county bridges (Section III) , and (3) the fiscal process of making appropriations and expenditures for construction and repair of bridges (Section VI). These topics are presented in terms of the current Indiana statutes, and for this reason should be of considerable assistance to county road officials as a guide to the official duties of their office.

The Performance Of Beams And Columns Continuously Braced With Diaphragms, George Pincus, Gordon P. Fisher Feb 1963

The Performance Of Beams And Columns Continuously Braced With Diaphragms, George Pincus, Gordon P. Fisher

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

INTRODUCTION In Progress Report No.1, it was reported that the initial conception of the problem was that diaphragms act almost exclusively in shear when called upon to brace compression members, and that it had been decided to test single columns with finite widths of diaphragm attached, with width of the sheet being varied to provide a range of lateral support up to that which permitted full column strength, based on strong axis to be developed. However, the first test of this kind, Test CB-l, clearly indicated that the diaphragm acted essentially in flexure only and thus had the same effect …

Some Effects Of Fabrication Practices On The Strength Characteristics Of Reinforced Concrete Culvert Pipe, Robert C. Deen, James H. Havens Feb 1963

Some Effects Of Fabrication Practices On The Strength Characteristics Of Reinforced Concrete Culvert Pipe, Robert C. Deen, James H. Havens

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

Underground conduits have been used for hundreds of years for drainage and water supply purposes. With the advent of railway and auto-mobile transportation, the use of underground conduits for drainage purposes beneath the roadways increased greatly. It soon became apparent that there was a definite need for knowledge concerning the manufacture, installation, and field behavior of pipe culverts. Accordingly, in the first half of the century, much attention and research has been directed toward the development and establishment of acceptable techniques and specifications fot the manufacture and installation of pipe culverts. This work has been accomplished by many individuals and …

Concrete, Bridge Decks: Deterioration, Coatings And Repairs, James H. Havens, William B. Drake Feb 1963

Concrete, Bridge Decks: Deterioration, Coatings And Repairs, James H. Havens, William B. Drake

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

This report is not wholly a culmination of a planned or programmed research project. It is a historical account of damage sustained by both new and old concrete bridge-decks -- through freeze-thaw, salt action, etc, -- and of some expedient repairs which have been effected. The problem of durability in concrete bridge-decks has become increasingly critical during the past ten years or so and is now a major concern to highway engineers throughout the northern tier of states. While there is not yet a concerted agreement in regard to the cause of the trouble, relief is being sought through improved …

Developing A State Water Plan Utah's Water Resources--Problems And Needs--A Challenge, Utah Water Research Laboratory Jan 1963

Developing A State Water Plan Utah's Water Resources--Problems And Needs--A Challenge, Utah Water Research Laboratory

Reports

Of all the natural resources with which Utah has been endowed none is more vital to the social and economic well-being of the people than it water resource. We cannot manufacture water. We have found no acceptable substitute. Not one more drop of water is available for our use today than was available to the pioneers. Yet water uses and water demands have multiplied over the years. Since we can do little to change nature's water allotment to Utah we must learn how to utilize our existing supplies more judiciously. This means devoting increasingly more attention to problems of water …

A Study Of The Hydraulics Of Drop-Inlet-Type Culvert Models, Ronald D. Hughes Jan 1963

A Study Of The Hydraulics Of Drop-Inlet-Type Culvert Models, Ronald D. Hughes

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

In certain unique situations, a drop-inlet-type of culvert might be employed to a greater advantage than the standard box- or pipe-type culvert. A drop-inlet consists merely of a vertical drop-section at the upstream end of the culvert. The drop section is connected to the main barrel of the culvert by means of an elbow or merely a rightangle intersection. The entrance to the drop-section must collect and funnel the channel water into the drop section. Thus, intercepting dams and sidewalls may be needed to form the entrance. Figure 1 illustrates, in a general way, some of the options which may …

Third Annual Performance Survey Of Reinforced Concrete Pipe Culverts, Ronald D. Hughes Jan 1963

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

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

In April, 1957, under Circular Memorandum 22-40, the Bureau of Public Roads issued a rational criterion covering beddings of reinforced concrete pipe, construction methods, and simplified methods for determining the allowable heights of fill over pipe having given D-load strengths. The states were urged to adopt the criterion; and, accordingly, the Kentucky Department of Highways issued Amendments No. 15 and 16 (Feb, 28, 1958) to its 1956 edition of Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction and Standard Drawings Nos. 11.22 and 11.23. These amendments and standard drawings were patterned after the criterion of the Bureau of Public Roads but …
