Sprinkle Treatment of Asphalt Pavements, MLR-78-01, 1978

The paper reviews methods, materials, equipment and results to date of sprinkle treatment within the state. The Iowa Department of Transportation formerly the Iowa State Highway Commission, made its first attempts at sprinkle treatment of fresh asphalt concrete in 1974. Increased emphasis in mix design of asphalt mixes and aggregate selection of durable non-polishing materials has generated costly restrictions on the use of local materials. During the summer of 1975, a dual spinner, tail-gate spreader was mounted on a standard departmental dump truck to attempt additional sprinkle treatment on a section of Iowa 7 west of Ft. Dodge. The dump truck equipment was marginally satisfactory, but results of increased surface skid texture and durability were well demonstrated. On 1976 a new, current order dump truck was modified with an auxiliary transmission and a set of slick surfaced tires, and dual spinner spreader was mounted to again attempt surface sprinkle treatment, which was conducted in 1977.

A Study of the Frictional Properties of New Asphaltic Concrete Pavements in Iowa, MLR-78-03, 1978

Seven asphaltic concrete resurfacing projects were tested for their frictional properties to determine the age-friction relationship of new paving. Projects studied included Type A asphaltic concrete which is generally used for higher traffic volume roads and Type B asphaltic concrete, a lower type material. Also included in the study were asphaltic concretes containing Type 3 and Type 4 coarse aggregate texture classifications. The classifications are based upon material type and grain size composition. Surfaces both with and without sprinkle treatment aggregates were also included. The data gathered suggests that properly designed and placed dense graded asphaltic concrete mixes are adequate to serve the traveling public at all ages tested.

Library-instructional materials center skills, 1968

The School Library-Instructional Materials Center should be designed to serve the total curriculum of a school. Much of a teacher's learning comes when he works with a librarian to provide his students wit the necessary and appropriate skills for a unit of s study.

U.S. 61 From Memorial Park Road in Burlington North to 1 Mile North of IA 78 in Louisa County. Des Moines & Louisa County, Iowa NHS-061-2(50) - 19-58, 2015

Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) has re-initiated planning and preliminary design studies to improve U.S. 61 from Memorial Park Road in Burlington north to 1-mile north of IA 78 in Louisa County. The proposed project consists of improving approximately 18 miles of roadway from 2-lanes to 4-lanes and evaluating a potential bypass around Mediapolis.

Iowa Water Plan '78 The Framework Study - Summary Report

Iowa Natural Resources Council's Water Plan 78, the main report of the State Water Plan Framework Study. This report is the culmination of the three-year cooperative effort between this agency and the Department of Environmental Quality, Conservation Commission, Department of Soil Conservation, and the Geological Survey, funded by the Legislature in 1978.
