Engineer Intelligence Guide 33, Preparation Of Terrain Diagrams, June 1960, Robert Bolin , Depositor

United States Department of Defense Military Intelligence

In 1960, geographic intelligence in the US Armed Forces was decentralized. The Intelligence and Mapping Division of the US Army Corps of Engineers was primarily responsible for creation of military intelligence concerning the surface of the earth excluding the oceans and seas for the armed forces of the United States. Engineer intelligence guides were issued to provide guidance concerning collection, processing, production, and dissemination of geographic intelligence to elements of the Corps of Engineers.

This engineer intelligence guide explains the differences between maps and terrain diagrams and provides examples using actual maps and terrain diagrams. The maps and terrain diagrams …

Irrigation And Drainage Problems In Uruguay, Jerald Emmet Christiansen

Reports

Synopsis: Uruguay irrigates about 65,000 acres, mostly rice (74%) and sugar cane (15%). Summer rainfall averages about 3.5 in. per month, but frequent droughts seriously affect both crops and livestock. Irrigation can be increased by storage in small reservoirs on tributary streams by means of low earth dams. Some areas will require flood control and draiange before intensive agriculture can be practiced.

Criteria For Design Of Pavement Thicknesses, Kentucky Interstate Highways, William B. Drake, James H. Havens

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

The Kentucky Department of Highways, in 1946, sought a more systematic criteria and basis for designing the thickness of bituminous concrete pavements. The Research Division was authorized to pursue this work and to develop the criterion. These efforts were embodied in a report (1) to the Department, which offered a system of design based upon CBR's and EWL's. EWL's were computed originally for a 10-yr. period but this practice was revised in 1954, to encompass 20-yr. traffic (more realistic with respect to average road life). Then, in 1957, the Department requested a re-evaluation of the criteria from the standpoint of …

Experimental Paving Projects Using Curtiss-Wright’S Coal-Modified, Coal-Tar Binder [1960], James F. Hardyman

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

On April 7, 1959, the Curtiss-Wright Corporation announced the development of a new coal-based road paving binder, utilizing bituminous coal. This development was the result of their research program conducted in an effort to find new uses for coal and coal products. The basic principle used in preparing this bituminous binder was the digestion of powdered coal in coal tar and tar oils at temperatures of 500-600°F. By adjusting the proportions of tar, tar oils, and coal, binders could be prepared having penetration ranges comparable to asphalt cements. It was the intent of the developers that the modified binders be …

Rockcastle (Pottsville) Conglomerate Sand Evaluation In Portland Cement Concrete, Milton Evans Jr.

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

In order to analyze the concrete making properties of a processed Pottsville Conglomerate Sand from Rockcastle County, Kentucky, several batches of portland cement concrete were made. Standard mixing control, strength, and durability tests as well as a short cut test to detect excessive expansion during curing were performed on the concrete. Control specimens were made utilizing an Ohio River Sand, typical for this area, as the fine aggregate. This sand which was acceptable by Kentucky Highway Department Specifications was produced by the Nugent Sand Company of Louisville, Kentucky. The sand was submitted for evaluation in this manner by the State …
