CONCRETE AND ASPHALT PAVEMENTS IN GRUELING ROAD TEST
Loaded trucks, from pickups to huge tractor-trailer rigs, roll over concrete and
asphalt paving at the National Test Road site near Ottawa, 111. This greatest of road
tests, conducted by the Highway Research Board of the National Academy of
Sciences-National Research Council, began in November, 1958. and ended November
30, 1960. Pavement survival figures; concrete, 74.6 per cent; asphalt, 23.6 per cent.

The Portland Cement Asso
■ ciation with Georgia headquar
ters in Atlanta announced that
74.6 per cent of the concrete
i test sections survived the
rigorous two- year test. Only
23.6 per cent of the asphalt
paved sections were rated in
usable condition at the end.
Both paving types were sub
jected to more than $1,J00,000
identical load applications in
this most extensive of scientif
ic highway research studies.
The test itself was directed by
the Highway Research Board of
the National Academy of Scien
ces - National Research Council
under sponsorship of the
American Association of State
Highway Officials.
Costs were shared by the
Federal Government, 49 of the
50 states, and by private in
dustry. The State Highway
Department of Georgia allo
cated $295,592 as its share.
At the end of the first 100,-
000 load applications none of
the concrete test sections in
the main experiment had fail
ed, while 32 per cent of t h e
asphalt sections were rated
“out of test.”
One year later, after 600,000
axle loads had been applied to
the test loops, 89 per cent of
the concrete paving had sur
vived, as compared with 37
per cent of the asphalt still in
the test.
The main test road consisted
of 548 sections of varying
thickness of concrete and
asphalt. These were laid side
by-side in parallel lanes
stretching over five loops sub
jected to truck traffic and
adding up to an 8-mile long
right-of-way. A sixth loop was
used for special tests and to
evaluate the effects of weather
on the pavements.
Axle loads applied to t h e
pavements by the big trucks
varied from 1 to 24 tons per
axle (single and tandem axles)
depending on pavement design.
Gross weight of the heaviest
trucks reached 54 tons. En
gineers had planned the thick
ness levels for approximately
equal percentage of failures in
both concrete and asphalt
pavements. Those responsible
for recommending and deter
mining thicknesses in the test
were among the top highway
experts of the country.
Using trucks ranging in sire
from “pickups” to big tractor
semi-trailers, a 400-man unit
of the U. S. Army Transporta
tion Corps drove more than 17
million miles as they circled
the test loops 19 hours daily, 6
days a week for 2 years.
More than 300 million sta
tistical readings were record
ed from electronic gauges and
instruments at the National
Road Test. Staff members di
recting work at the test are
compiling these readings into
an official report scheduled for
release in October.
To Keep A
True Lent
IS this a fast, to keep
The larder lean,
And clean
From fat of veals and sheep?
Is it to quit the dish
Os flesh, yet still
To fill
The platter high with fish?
Is it to fast an hour,
Or ragg’d go
Or show
A down cast look, and sour?
NO; ’tis a fast, to dole
Thy sheaf of wheat
And meat
Unto the hungry soul.
IT is to fast from strife,
From old debate
And hate;
To circumcise thy life.
TO show a heart grief-rent;
To starve thy sin,
Not bin;
AND that’s to keep thy Lent.
