  • UNIFORM STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS for PUBLIC WORKS CONSTRUCTION
    UNIFORM STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS for PUBLIC WORKS CONSTRUCTION SPONSORED and DISTRIBUTED by the 1998 ARIZONA (Includes revisions through 2010) FOREWORD Publication of these Uniform Standard Specifications and Details for Public Works Construction fulfills the goal of a group of agencies who joined forces in 1966 to produce such a set of documents. Subsequently, in the interest of promoting county-wide acceptance and use of these standards and details, the Maricopa Association of Governments accepted their sponsorship and the responsibility of keeping them current and viable. These specifications and details, representing the best professional thinking of representatives of several Public Works Departments, reviewed and refined by members of the construction industry, were written to fulfill the need for uniform rules governing public works construction performed for Maricopa County and the various cities and public agencies in the county. It further fulfills the need for adequate standards by the smaller communities and agencies who could not afford to promulgate such standards for themselves. A uniform set of specifications and details, updated and embracing the most modern materials and construction techniques will redound to the benefit of the public and the private contracting industry. Uniform specifications and details will eliminate conflicts and confusion, lower construction costs, and encourage more competitive bidding by private contractors. The Uniform Standard Specifications and Details for Public Works Construction will be revised periodically and reprinted to reflect advanced thinking and the changing technology of the construction industry. To this end a Specifications and Details Committee has been established as a permanent organization to continually study and recommend changes to the Specifications and Details.

  • Core Drilling of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) for Specimens of 4” Or 6” Diameter
    Proposed method and procedure Core Drilling of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) for Specimens of 4” or 6” diameter 1. SCOPE 1.1 This method is to establish a consistent method of the use of a diamond bit core to recover specimens of 4 or 6 inch diameter for laboratory analysis and testing. 1.2 The method will require the use of: water, ice (bagged or other suitable type), dry ice, and a water-soap solution to be utilized when coring asphalt rubber concrete. 1.3 Individuals doing the specimen recovery should be observing all safety regulations from the equipment manufacturer as well as the required job site safety requirements for actions, and required personal protective equipment. 2. CORE DRILLING DEVICE 2.1 The core drilling device will be powered by an electrical motor, or by an acceptable gasoline engine. Either device used shall be capable of applying enough effective rotational velocity to secure a drilled specimen. The specimen shall be cored perpendicularly to the surface of pavement, and that the sides of the core are cut in a manner to minimize sample distortion or damage. 2.2 The machinery utilized for the procedure shall be on a mounted base, have a geared column and carriage that will permit the application of variable pressure to the core head and carriage throughout the entire drilling operation. The carriage and column apparatus shall be securely attached to the base of the apparatus; and the base will be secured with a mechanical fastener or held in place by the body weight of the operator.

Description of Test The standard test procedure is used for collecting samples of asphalt concrete by coring methods. 1.2. Application of Test Samples of asphalt concrete collected using the coring method may be used to evaluate various characteristics of an asphalt concrete pavement for construction quality control testing, quality assurance testing and product acceptance testing. Core samples may also be used for research testing purposes. 1.3. Units of Measure The standard core sample diameter for purposes of this test procedure will be 101.6 mm or 152.4 mm. Generally, the maximum thickness of asphalt concrete pavement to be sampled will be 250 mm. 2. APPARATUS AND MATERIALS 2.1. Equipment Portable Drilling Equipment - mounted on a trailer, truck or other similar equipment for transportation purposes. The drill shall be equipped with a source of power suitable for driving the core barrel. The drilling unit will be equipped with a source of air or water supply to cool the core barrel during drilling operations. Core Barrels - which will provide cores as described in section 1.3. Generally thin walled core barrels with surface set diamond cutting edges provide the best samples. Core Retrieval Tool - to extricate cores from the pavement when coring is completed, without causing damage to the cores. Marshall hand held compaction hammer. Gloves or mitts for handling dry ice.

  • LIGHTWEIGHT 50-METER CORE DRILL for FIRN and ICE Heinrich
    Reproduced from Ice-Core Drilling edited by John F. Splettstoesser by permission of the University of Nebraska Press. Copyright 1976 by the University of Nebraska Press. Copyright renewed 2004 by the University of Nebraska Press. LIGHTWEIGHT 50-METER CORE DRILL FOR FIRN AND ICE Heinrich Rufli, Bernhard Stauffer, and Hans Oeschger Physics Institute University of Bern Sidlerstrasse 5 3012 Bern, Switzerland ABSTRACT The increasing interest in ice-core analyses has made it apparent that new drills need to be developed for coring in Jim and ice. To close the gap between the range of the SJPRE coring auger and that of the CRREL thermal drill an electromechanical drill has been constmcted which will core to 50 m in fim and ice. The drill is suspended from a cable, and consists of a coring system, a driving system and an antitorque system. The drill was tested successfully in Greenland in 1974, where it was possible to drill to 50 m in a few hours. In troduction With the SIPRE coring auger it is relatively easy to drill to 20 m in fim or 10m in ice. Drilling deeper is possible but difficult. Holes with depths between 100 and 500 m have usually been made using thermal drills (Ueda and Garfield, 1969). Attempts have been made to close the gap between the ranges of the two drills by mOdify­ ing the SIPRE coring auger. The modifications consist of an electrical drive for drilling and electrical and mechanical means for raising and lowering the auger. They allow deeper drilling but the equipment is heavier and the drilling is tin,e-consuming because of the need to handle the numerous extensions.

Large boulders pose a direct threat to life and key infrastructure, amplifying landslide 5 and flood hazards, as they move from the slopes to the river network. Despite the hazard they pose, 6 boulders have not been directly targeted as a mean to detect landslide movement or used in dedicated 7 early warning systems. We use an innovative monitoring system to observe boulder movement 8 occurring in different geomorphological settings, before reaching the river system. Our study focuses 9 on an area in the upper Bhote Koshi catchment northeast of Kathmandu, where the Araniko highway 10 is subjected to periodic landsliding and floods during the monsoons and was heavily affected by 11 coseismic landslides during the 2015 Gorkha earthquake. In the area, damage by boulders to 12 properties, roads and other key infrastructure, such as hydropower plants, is observed every year.
