(Prepired by the United St ot Agriculture, The road research investigations of the bureau of public roads of the Unit- ied:States Department of Agriculture at the Arlington’ expertment station are uuw well under way. ! - A new ,portnble road-impact machine ias been ‘Teceived and 18 giving most ‘sutisfactory resuits In ‘testing the series of road Slabs placed earlier in the season. Thig serles . consists of 120 concrete slabs ranging from four toten Inches in'thickness and from lean to rich mixtures. Some of the slabs are reinforced and others have a two-Inch Topeka top. There are at least. two slais of each type of con- struction, one on a dry subgrade and another surrounded by ditches, which are kept flooded. | What the Machine Does ) Briefly the new machine consists of a typical truck’ wheel with spring and variabla load above it, which Is raised and allowed to fall on the slab from any desired height by means of-an elec- trically-driven cam. Recording devices weasure the deceleration or rate at which the wheel {8 brought to rest after coming in contact with the slab, the deflection of the slab at a number of points on a line across the slab, set- tlement of the slab into the subgrade, permanent set of the siab and the max- imum instantaneous fiber stress at the point where the blow is struck. On- the first. slab tested the: varlous Tecording devices checked each other with surprising closeness. For a serles of blows varying slightly In Intensity, curves for the fiber stress, decelera- tion and deflection showed correspond- ing variations and gave assurunce a: to the accuracy of the new methods of measuring. Some interesting informa- tion as to the variation of the support offered the slab by the subgrade under a serles of varying blows is being se- cured. . ia New Light on impact. . 'With the fnformation and experience gained from last year's t»vsperlmcnuaI op impact making possible, rounemcnts} ln_lhu_ pew tests, it is thought that an Department analysts of the data when all of the slabs are tested to destructlon will throw a great deal of ‘new light “on truck impact on rigid puvements. The circular track for the testing of asphaltic concrete to determime the cause of waving IS now about ready for the automatically controlled truck traffic. Twenty-seven sections of as- phaltic concrete of various mixtures have been laid on a cement base, the coarse aggregate of the bituminous mixes rapging from 40 to 70 per.cent, with variations in the grading of the finer material. Tbe amount of asphalt varles from 5.0 to 7.0 per cent and has a penetration value of from 45 to 85. In lne with the bureau's policy of cheapening the cost of road construc- tion by the use ot local material wher- ever possible, a clrcular track for a wear test on cobcrete has been com- pleted. Sixty-one sections of concrete have been placed. The aggregates used vary in kind and quality, ranging from hard to soft, and there Ig variation in the amount of mixing water and time of mixing. In order to eliminate the effect ot differences in the subgrade the sections are of reinforced T-beam construction, the slab being 4 feet wide, 10 inches deep, with the T-beam fn the middle of the slab. The traffic test on these sectious will begin soon and the'load on the pavement will be made to represent the rubber-tired rear wheel of a 3% or 5ton truck moving at a speed of 15 to 20 miles per hour. Specimens of concrete for beam strength-and compression tests have been niade from each wix and are being cured nnder the same: condi- tions as the corresponding sections. Change in Specifications. Results of this wear test, represent- ing modern traffic’ conditions, together with the beam strength and unmpre& sion tests which will be made for thid investigation’ and on a 'similar set made In counection with the impact investigation and which will serve to tie the two together, will furnish a sound’ basis for the consideration of suggested changes in specificativns for concrete road aggregates. TIMBER SALE SHOULD ‘BE ARRANGED AHEAD ! Quick Action Needed to Prevent Deferioration. }ngu and Other Rough Material Should Not Be Allowed to Remain Long on- Ground After Cutting— Ends Should Be Painted. .| (Prepared by the United States Department | of Agriculture.) To prevent the deterioration of felled timber farmers and owners of woodlands should allow as little delay 18 possible between the cutting of the tree and its munufacture into rough !products, advises the forest service lof the United States Depnrtmem of Agriculture. This means that sales’ should be arranged:for prior to begin- ning cutting. It I8 often necessary or desirable, however, to put off the de- livery of logs, bolts, or poles untll ‘some months after cutting, either to nllow them to seagon or because a £ood sale canuot be arranged at once. IMuch of the welght of freshly-cut tim- ber is due to the water it contains, and a few months’ seasoning will often reduce this to a muarked degree, the amount of ‘reduction depending, of course, on the climate, the weather, #nd the exposure-to sun and air. At the same tiwe, unless . preventive .measures are taken the products are (sureto deteriorate through decay, in- (sect attack, checking, or some other Logs and other round timber should néver be allowed to remain long'in the woods after cutting. As soon s possible they should be taken to a dry, well-aired, and _unshaded areén and placed ) on skldd well off the zround; othierwise the .opposite ex- treme . sliould: te attempted—keeping the thmber iniwater. Within a few days after the trees are felled the bark should be remgved from. poles., posts, and other material whieh will not be injured by checking or season 'cracks, The ends of the logs 1be coated with paint, ereosote This will aid in preventing d keep the logs from checking b: Poles should be peeled and hauled or. drag; place free from de- getation and freely ex- sed to the sun and wind. When ties are: cut, it is usuallyocheapest and jwost -de: Mle to haul them, at any convenient time without regard to seasoning, \lirectly to the railway, and pile them according to the specihica- tions_ furnished by the tle buyer. Cordwood should be stacked in loose piles in 2 sunny, well-aired, and well- -dralned place free from rank vegeta- tion. Two sticks on the ground run: ning the length of the pile will keép it from contact with the soil and thus prevent decay in the lower layers.
