 Fiber Composite Dowels in Highway Pavements
The object of this study was to develop a laboratory test method for the evaluation of highway pavement dowels that approximated actual field conditions, and to compare static and fatigue behaviors of FC dowels to those for steel dowels when used as load transfer devices in transverse joints of highway pavements.
Efficiency of a highway pavement joint is determined by monitoring the relative displacement between the two sides of a joint and load transfer across the joint.
The research described herein (3) was conducted at the Iowa State University Structural Engineering Laboratories with the support of the Engineering Research Institute and sponsored by the Iowa DOT and the Iowa Highway Research Board.

 U.S. and Interstate Highways in New Mexico   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
U.S. 70 crossed the state but on the alignment later assigned to U.S. There were a number of 3-digit routes that disappeared by the 1930s: 366 (the first of two that existed), 180 (no connection to today's route), 385 (no connection to today's route), 470, 485, and 566.
The 2003 New Mexico highway map (as well as other atlases) shows this as the 70-285 mainline and Main Street through the city as removed from the state highway system, and so it is likely this route has disappeared.
The highway was not constructed in the valley itself, most likely to minimize the need to take productive agricultural land, but rather was built across the alluvial outwash hills that border the valley, making for some occasional ups and downs.

Each May, states determine the rate by observing samples of drivers and counting how many are belted.

 Highway noise and vibration control consulting - Highway noise control services
Colorado I-25 Noise Studies, Colorado Springs, CO HMMH conducted the noise analyses for both the environmental and design studies for the widening of Interstate Route 25 in Colorado Springs in 1991 and 1994.
The study area extended from State Highway 83 South through Colorado Springs to State Highway 83 North.
Portions of the highway widening required the acquisition of a row of homes in a well-established neighborhood, so HMMH designed effective noise barriers to protect the residents between Bijou and Fillmore Streets from significant increases in noise.
