Abstract Traditional Texas flexible bases specified under Item 247 perform well as long as they are kept dry. However, rapid and sudden failures can occur if water enters these bases. In Project 0-4358 draft specifications (proposed Item 245) were developed for high-performance flexible base materials. These specifications tighten all existing specifications, place an upper limit of 10 percent on the amount of material passing the No. 200 sieve, and introduce new procedures to ensure that the base is not moisture susceptible.

    8169-1117-2m University of Texas Bulletin No. 1725: May 1, 1917 Bureau of Economic Geology and Technology J. A. UDDEN, Director Texas Granites BY J. P. NASH Testing Engineer, Bureau of Economic Geology and Technology Published by the University six times a month and entered as second-class matter at the postoffice at AUSTIN, TEXAS The benefits of education and of useful knowledge, generally diffused through a community, are essential to the preservation of a free goverm- ment. Sam Houston, Cultivated mind is the guardian genius of democracy. ... It is the only dictator that freemen acknowl- edge and the only security that free- men desire. Mirabeau*B. Lamar Texas Granites By J. P. Nash. It lias been said that the granite deposits in the central part of Texas contain more varied and serviceable granite than any equal area in the United States. While this is perhaps a debata- ble statement, it is certain that there is a wide range of colors and textures from which it is possible to obtain granite for al- most any purpose for which that stone is now used. This material is found in the central part of the state, principally in Burnet, Llano, and Gillespie counties. The development of the granite quarrying has been rather slow, due to thefact that, for the most part, the material is located at considerable distance from the railroad; and also because of the lack of capital. In the case of the gray granites, the most accessible quarry is 6 miles from the railroad, while others are as much as 12 miles distant.

Reed Copyright by Sharon Mosher 2008 GEOLOGY OF THE LLANO UPLIFT by Sharon Mosher INTRODUCTION The Llano Uplift of central Texas consists of multiply deformed, 1.37-1.23 Ga metasedimentary, metavolcanic and metaplutonic rocks intruded by 1.13 to 1.07 Ga, syn- tectonic to post-tectonic granites (Fig. 1) (Mosher, 1998). An early high-pressure eclogite-facies metamorphism is overprinted by dynamothermal, medium-pressure metamorphism at upper amphibolite-facies conditions and a subsequent low-pressure, middle amphibolite-facies metamorphism associated with widespread intrusion of late granites (Carlson et al., 2007). These rocks are exposed in a gentle structural dome exposing ~9000 km2 of Middle Proterozoic crystalline basement in an erosional window through Phanerozoic sedimentary cover (Muehlberger et al., 1967; Flawn and Muehlberger, 1970). Normal and oblique-slip faults related to the Ouachita Orogeny affect Precambrian to Pennsylvanian rocks and juxtapose Paleozoic strata with the Precambrian exposures.
