      <title>AIR-DROPPED EARTH PENETRATORS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/120948</link>
      <description><![CDATA[AN AIR-DROPPED SUBSURFACE TERRABALLISTIC PROJECTILE THAT HAS BEEN DEVELOPED FOR USE IN SOIL SITE STUDIES IN REMOTE OR INACCESSIBLE AREAS IS DESCRIBED. THE TECHNIQUE INVOLVES DROPPING OR PROPELLING AN INSTRUMENTED EARTH-PENETRATOR FROM AN AIRCRAFT FLYING OVER THE STUDY SITE. SINCE NO GROUND SUPPORT IS REQUIRED, REMOTE SITES CAN BE STUDIED EASILY. THE PROJECTILE, WHICH IS DESIGNED TO PENETRATE DEEP INTO SOIL, CARRIES INSTRUMENTS AND ON-BOARD TRANSMITTING (TELEMETRY) SYSTEMS THAT RADIO BACK TO THE AIRPLANCE THE SOIL RESISTANCE FORCES FELT AS THE PENETRATOR SLOWS TO REST, IN A FEW TENS OF MILLISECONDS, DEEP BELOW THE GROUND SURFACE, THE SITES STUDIED TO DATE, THE BASIC PROJECTILE MECHANICS INVOLVED, THE USE OF TERRABALLISTIC PROJECILES AT A SPECIFIC SITE, AND THE COST OF THE METHOD ARE DISCUSSED. THE WORK DESCRIBED AND THE DATA COLLECTED HAVE SHOWN THAT SOIL INVESTIGATIONS USING TERRABALLISTIC PROJECTILES CAN BE USEFUL, PROVIDED: APPROXIMATE DATA, ABOUT EQUIVALENT TO THE STANDARD PENETRATION TEST, ARE ADEQUATE FOR THE PROJECT, THE AREA IS REMOTE AND INACCESSIBLE, SO THAT CONVENTIONAL INVESTIGATIONS ARE EXPENSIVE OR IMPRACTICAL, AND TIME IS IMPORTANT, AND THE PROJECT CANNOT WAIT FOR THE SLOWER METHODS OF CONVENTIONAL INVESTIGATIONS.]]></description>

      <title>METRICS IN CONSTRUCTION - THIS TIME IT'S HERE TO STAY</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/382722</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In 1988, federal law mandated the metric system as the preferred system of measurement in the U.S. and required that metric be used in all federal procurement, grants, and business-related activities to the extent feasible by September 30, 1992, or by an established date to be set later. The intent of the law is to make the U.S. more competitive in international trade by bringing its measurement system in line with that of the rest of the world, which now is virtually all metric. In July 1990, President Bush signed Executive Order 12770, Metric Usage in Federal Government Programs, which requires federal agencies to develop specific timetables and milestones for the transition to metric. Federal agencies involved in construction generally have agreed to institute the use of metric in the design of all federal construction by January 1994.]]></description>

      <title>BEST OF THE BRIDGES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/414788</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Nearly 600,000 bridges span gorges, rivers and other obstacles across the U.S., ranging from small timber structures in rural areas to majestic, towering landmarks, such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco and the Brooklyn Bridge in New York. ACEC asked its members to name the best bridges in America, and more than 200 great bridges were recommended. This article describes twelve of these "Best Bridges": The Golden Gate Bridge; Houston Ship Channel Bridge; Glenwood Canyon I-70 Bridges (Colorado); Clark Bridge (Alton, IL); Tom Moreland Interchange (Atlanta); Yaquina Bay Bridge (Newport, OR); Father Louis Hennepin Bridge (Minneapolis); Roosevelt Lake Bridge (Arizona); Rainbow Bridge (Niagara Falls); The Brooklyn Bridge; Wire Bridge (New Portland, ME); and I-95 Over the James River (Richmond, VA).]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[REFERENCE IS MADE TO EARLIER RESEARCH CONCERNING THE DEPURATION OF GASES, FUMES AND VAPOURS IN VARIOUS INDUSTRIES AS WELL AS THE NEED FOR MORE AIR CHANGES IN A TUNNEL. A UNIT FOR THE REGENERATION OF VITIATED AIR, KNOWN AS THE NEUTRIT 5000-CO-3, MANUFACTURED BY NEUTROTECNICA ITALIANA S.R.L., MILAN IS DESCRIBED.  THE UNIT IS AVAILABLE IN TWO MODELS, A CO-LOW RATE MODEL WITHOUT A CO THERMICAL CONVERTER AND A CO- HIGH RATE MODEL WITH A CONVERTER. BOTH ENSURE THE TOTAL ELIMINATION OF DUST, EVEN IN COLLOIDAL FORM, UNBURNT SUBSTANCES, ASHES, CARBONDIOXIDE, CARBON MONOXIDE, SULFUR TRIOXIDE, AS WELL AS OF ANY OTHER SOLID OR GASEOUS POLLUTING SUBSTANCES DRAWN INTO THE INTAKE.  THE TWO-SECTION PLANT HAS A CAPACITY OF 5000 CU M/H AND THE THREE-SECTION PLANT 6000 CU M/H, AT A GUARANTEED EFFICIENCY OF PURIFICATION OF 99.95 PERCENT. /RRL/]]></description>

      <title>CPM SCHEDULING CAN HELP IN RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/382723</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Detailed reports and records always have been an essential factor in construction claims litigation. Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling, a method of plotting, tracking and controlling the numerous activities involved in construction, can be an effective instrument for assessing the progress of a project or for determining the impact of one delay on all subsequent activities. During litigation, accurately created and updated CPM schedules can provide an indisputable source of information when attempting to resolve time-related disputes outside of the courtroom. Before CPM scheduling can be fully constructive, however, it must be used more effectively by all parties involved in the construction process.]]></description>

      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/382721</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Particularly in the environmental field, and increasingly in the transportation arena, agencies and engineering consultants are finding that successful completion of a project means working with the community on a meaningful basis: opening a dialogue, listening to issues and concerns, and negotiating everything from details to the need for the project itself. While this process, commonly called public participation, sometimes lengthens the early planning stages of a project as issues are being communicated and concerns negotiated, a successful public participation program can shorten the overall schedule of a controversial project. When the process involves the public, negotiation techniques are used to resolve controversial issues.]]></description>

      <title>MANILA TACKLES ITS COMMUTER CONGESTION</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/174050</link>
      <description><![CDATA[To reduce the problem of peak hour congestion in Manila, a 15 km elevated light transit system designed by Electrowatt Engineering Services is being planned for the city. The present transport system consists of some 30000 jeepneys and 50 buses all privately owned and with no state organisation. The elevated two-track railway, planned to run north-south through the conurbation, will carry 60 two-car trains bringing commuters from 21 stations to the central station. Because of the danger of ground tremors, the elevated transit system will be supported on concrete columns capable of resisting shock loadings.  A feature of the design will be the prevention of track sections collapsing during an earthquake.  Geological problems are caused by poor soil conditions at depths between 5-25 m, as well as a very high water table.  Such problems are likely to require the use of prefabricated concrete piles to provide foundation stability. (TRRL)]]></description>
