  • Thin Overlay Bituminous Macadam for the Control of Reflex Cracking
    Thin Overlay Bituminous Macadam for the Control of Reflex Cracking ROBERT D. JOHNSON, Maine Aeronautics Commission •REFLEX CRACKING in pavement overlays has been an extensive problem, often with an unsatisfactory solution. This problem is brought about by attempts to correct another far-reaching problem-old pavement in need of rehabilitation. Both problems now exist in practically all pavements. Determination of a satisfactory solution to these problems has been one of the most pressing demands on airport owners and the Aeronautics Commission in Maine for the past 10 years. Pavements in concern, for the most part, have been over 20-years-old, have re­ tained their general shape, but are severely cracked. The cracks commonly prevail in two directions-longitudinally with a reasonably consistent pattern and straight align­ ment, and transversely with a very irregular pattern and irregular alignment. The width of the cracks is most often from ½ to ¾ in. PREVIOUS METHODS One method used extensively to rectify badly cracked pavements was to clean the cracks with a router, or by some other means, and then fill them by successive ap­ plications of asphalt and sand. This often was followed by a seal coat or bituminous concrete overlay 1 to 2 in. in thickness. Another method used to some extent was, after routing, to fill the cracks with a rub­ ber asphalt or synthetic and then apply a seal coat or bituminous concrete overlay. A third method was to fill the cracks with either asphalt and sand, rubber asphalt or synthetics and then apply a bituminous concrete overlay, 1 to 3 in.

  • National Road/Route 40 1811-1834, 1926
    National Road/Route 40 1811-1834, 1926 Library of Congress The National Road, in many places now known as Route 40, was built between 1811 and 1834 to reach 1910 photo of the National Road, the western settlements. It was the first federally funded road in U.S. history. George Washington and 1.5 miles west Thomas Jefferson believed that a trans-Appalachian road was necessary for unifying the young country. of Brownsville, In 1806, Congress authorized construction of the road, and President Jefferson signed the act establish- Pennsylvania. ing the National Road. In 1811, the first contract was awarded, and the first 10 miles of road were built. As work on the road progressed, a settlement pattern developed that is still visible. Original towns and villages are still found along the National Road. The road, also called the Cumberland Road, National Pike, and other names, became Main Street in these early settlements, earning it the nickname “The Main Street of America.” In the 1800s, it was a key transport path to the West for thousands of settlers. In 1912, the road became part of the National Old Trails Road, and its popularity returned in the 1920s with the automobile. Federal aid became available for improvements in the road to accommodate the automobile. In 1926, the road became part of U.S. 40 as a coast-to-coast highway running from Atlantic City to San Francisco.

The best kind of road for all different conditions had been determined and the problem ; had been reduced to one of economics rather than one of engineering The kind of road generally conceeded to be the best was the water- bound macadam. The water-bound macadam road was of uniform construction wherever used. It consisted of three courses. The first or found- ation course was of broken stone varying in size from about 2 to 3 inches, the course having a thickness of 4 to 6 inches after having been thoroughly rolled. The next course wa3 of stone varying from 1/2 to 2 inches in size rolled to a thickness of about 2 inches.

    on Women Workers * U. S. Department of Labor Women s Bureau ’ACTS Maurice J. Tobin, Secretary Frieda S. Miller, Director WASHINGTON 25, D. C. ............. library February 28, 1950 A. S M. COLLEGE OF TEXAS FMPLOIMENT OF WCMBN IN JANUAKT 1950 The woman labor force increased by more than 3/4 million from January 1949 to January 1950, according to figures issued by the U. S. Bureau of the Census. This increase represents a rise of 230,000 in the number employed and a rise of 565,000 in the number unemployed. The number of women employed in agriculture decreased considerably, while those in nonagricultural employment increased. Between December 1949 and January 1950 the woman labor force decreased, owing largely to the withdrawal of extra workers employed in stores during the holiday season and of unpaid workers who had been helping on family farms. _____________________ January 1950___________________________ Number of Percent women Change since Change since women of all persons December 1949 January 1949 Population (14 years and over) 56,096,000 50.9 ♦ 43,000 ♦ 637,000 Civilian labor force 17,712,000 28.8 - 568,000 ♦ 795,000 Employed 16,494,000 29.0 - 769,000 ♦ 230,000 In agriculture 625,000 10 a - 224,000 — 181,000 In nonagricultural industries 15,869,000 31.3 - 545,000 ♦ 411,000 Unemployed 1,218,000 27.2 ♦ 201,000 ♦ 565,000 Armed forces 21,000 1<5 None 4 6,000 Nonworkers 38,363,000 80.9 ♦ 616,000 - 164,000 (U.

  • CEMENT-BOUND MACADAM ALLEY PAVEMENTS Harry Overesch, City Engineer, Lafayette
    164 PURDUE ENGINEERING EXTENSION DEPARTMENT the cost to the city for the crushed brick (50 per cent of the coarse aggregate) is only that of crusher operation. Abrasion tests of the crushed brick aggregate were made by the University of Notre Dame Engineering Department, using the Los Angeles Abrasion Machine in accordance with A.A.S.H.O. Method T-96. The percentage of wear by this method was found to be 37.2 per cent. Similar tests of other local concrete aggregates by the same method gave results up to 50 per cent of wear. In the Public Roads magazine of September, 1935, a com­ parison of A.A.S.H.O. Methods T-4 and T-96 for abrasion tests of aggregates is given as follows: T-4 T-96 Vermont Granite 2.6% 33% Michigan Limestone 3.4% 33% Wisconsin Dolomite 4.1% 34% From the above data, it is concluded that 40 per cent or less of wear by the T-96 method is acceptable. Cores of brick-aggregate pavement have been taken and show satisfactorily the thickness of slab and physical char­ acteristics of the mix; but the mechanical condition of the coring machine is such that clean-cut cores suitable for strength tests have not been obtained. CEMENT-BOUND MACADAM ALLEY PAVEMENTS Harry Overesch, City Engineer, Lafayette My subject is supposed to be “Cement-Bound Macadam Alley Pavements/' but what I am about to describe is—an orphan. As a prominent cigarette maker says, “Something new has been added." If it doesn't prove out, I suppose I'll be called the orphan.
