Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) pavement has served the State of Iowa well for many years. The oldest Iowa pavement was placed in LeMars in 1904. Beginning in 1931, many miles of PCC pavement were built to "get out of the mud". Many of these early pavements provided good performance without deterioration for more than 50 years. In the late 1950s, Iowa was faced with severe PCC pavement deterioration called D cracking. Research identified the cause of this deterioration as crushed limestone containing a bad pore system. Selective quarrying and ledge control has alleviated this problem. In 1990, cracking deterioration was identified on a three-year-old pavement on US 20 in central Iowa. The coarse aggregate was a crushed limestone with an excellent history of performance in PCC pavement. Examination of cores showed very few cracks through the coarse aggregate particles. The cracks were predominately confined to the matrix. The deterioration was identified as alkali-silica reactivity (ASR) by a consultant. To investigate the cause of the deterioration, the Iowa DOT and Iowa State University jointly purchased a high resolution, low vacuum Hitachi Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) with an energy dispersion detector. Subsequent evaluation identified no concentration of silica gel (silicon-Si), but did identify substantial amounts of sulfur-S and aluminum-AL (assumed to be ettringite) in the air voids. Some of these voids have cracks radiating from them leading us to conclude that the ettringite filled voids were a center of pressure causing the crack. The ettringite in the voids, after being subjected to sodium chloride (NaCl), initially swells and then dissolves. This low vacuum SEM research of PCC pavement deterioration supports the following conclusions: (1) A low vacuum SEM and an energy dispersion detector are very important for proper evaluation of PCC pavement deterioration; (2) There are instances today where PCC pavement deterioration is mistakenly identified as ASR; (3) Ettringite initially expands when subjected to NaCl; and the ettringite filled voids are a center-of-pressure that cracks the PCC; and (4) The deterioration of some current premature PCC pavement distress locations is caused by factors related to the formation of excessive ettringite.

Ten miles of U.S. Highway 20 in Webster County began to show deterioration in 1990. Any deterioration was unexpected, since the road was just constructed in 1986 and 1987. The deterioration looked much like the staining and cracking of D-cracking. Cracking was found on 391 joints throughout the 10 mile four lane divided highway. Evaluation of cores from the project reveal low air contents at those locations where cracking is occurring. The cause of the low air contents can only be speculated on. A possible cause may be the vibration from the paver coupled with the additional vibration at the joints. Other projects constructed in 1986 and 1987 with the same equipment show no signs of distress.

Due to an equipment malfunction, too much sand was used in the concrete on the bridge floor placed on August 9, 1994, in Washington County, Project No. BRF-22-2(36)38-92. Freeze-thaw durability testing of cores taken from the concrete in question and the other two concretes not in question was performed. The experimental results indicate that the concrete in question is considered at least as durable and resistant to freeze-thaw damage as the concretes which are not in question. The concrete in question can be expected to function properly for the regular service life of the bridge.

Fundamento: Este estudio evidencia las dificultades de planificar recursos humanos en odontología analizando las variables que actúan en la demanda-oferta de servicios en un escenario de: baja utilización de servicios, baja patología y provisión de servicios principalmente privada. Material y Método: Los datos de utilización de servicios (visitas;año) se obtuvieron a partir de la Encuesta de Salud de Cataluña (1994-2006) y la Encuesta Nacional de Salud (1987-2006). La demografía profesional se obtuvo de censos colegiales. Resultados: Cataluña aumentaba 76 colegiados/año en los ochenta, 123 colegiados/año en los noventa y 287 colegiados/año en el período 2005-2008 asociándose a la aperturade facultades de odontología y la inmigración de profesionales con diplomas extranjeros (34,5% dedentistas en 2004). La demanda de ingreso a odontología es elevada y la inserción laboral excelente. La epidemiología de caries muestra una disminución continua (CAOD 12 años=0,73 en 2006) aunque los niveles de visita al dentista se encuentran entre los más bajos de la UE. Según la Encuesta de Salud de Cataluña un 31,5% de los hombres y un 38,1% de las mujeres había visitado un dentista el último año. Conclusiones: Es necesario aplicar nuevas políticas de planificación de recursos humanos y estrategiaspara minimizar las barreras de acceso a los servicios odontológicos en una situación de desequilibrio oferta-demanda.
