Der Anpassungsprozess von Ost an West - schnell aber nicht homogen. Teil 2 der Serie : Entwicklung der Mobilität im vereinten Deutschland

The article investigates the question, whether and in how far the travel behaviour of the former GDR inhabitants and the former FRG inhabitants has equalled since the years after the German reunification. A person-group specific analysis shows that the major differences still consist only in the elderly of age 60 and above. This is mainly due to the much slower process of motorization within this age group in the former GDR. In the younger age groups the adaption of the travel behaviour has almost been achieved; mainly as a consequence of the fast motorization process since 1990 in these age groups. Where differences are still valid, this stems firstly from worse supply conditions, especially with public transport, but also with road infrastructure, as can be seen by an overall lower system speed in the former GDR. A panel analysis shows, that the dynamics in terms of transport specific life style changes is far more relevant in the former GDR than former FRC. This is linked with higher mobility in the persons with such changes. These changes will probably come to an end once the economic development will have stabilised and the cohort with the biggest behavioural differences will gradually decrease.

Floods of 1986 and 1990 in the Raccoon River Basin, West-Central Iowa, HR-140, 1992

Water-surface-elevation profiles and peak discharges for the floods of 1973 and 1979 are compared to those of 1986 and 1990 in the Raccoon River basin, west-central Iowa. The profiles illustrate the 1979 and 1986 floods on the Raccoon, South Raccoon, and Middle Raccoon Rivers, the 1973 and 1986 floods on Walnut Creek, and the 1986 flood on Willow Creek and Mosquito Creek. The 1986 flood is the largest on record at U.S. Geological Survey streamflowgaging stations on the Middle Raccoon River tributary at Carroll, Middle Raccoon River near Bayard, Middle Raccoon River at Panora, and Walnut Creek at Des Moines. The 1990 flood discharge is the largest on record at U.S. Geological Survey crest-stage gaging stations on Hardin Creek near Farlin and on East Fork Hardin Creek near Churdan. The flood history given in this report describes rainfall conditions for floods that occurred during 1986 and 1990. Discharge for the 1990 flood on East Fork Hardin Creek near Churdan was 1.01 times larger than the 100-year recurrence-interval discharge.

Thin Bonded Concrete Resurfacing U.S. 34 West Burlington, Iowa, HR-34

The Experimental Project was designated as Research Project No. HR-34, sponsored by the Iowa Highway Research Board and constructed by the Iowa Highway Commission. Construction was supervised cooperatively by Engineers of the Iowa Highway Commission and the Portland Cement Association. The objective of the experiment is to study the behavior of relatively thin portland cement concrete resurfacing courses placed with bond on old concrete pavements. The phase of the problem being studied now, involves only pavements in which the old concrete is structurally sound.
