Iowa Highway Research Report No. 2, 1950-1951

During the fiscal year, July 1, 1950 to June 30, 1951, the Iowa State Highway Commission expanded its research program by adding to the work under way during the previous fiscal year, fifteen substantial projects recommended to the Commission by the Iowa Highway Research Board. The major portion of the projects under way in the previous fiscal year have been active in this fiscal year. All of the additional projects have gotten under way during this fiscal year. This year, as in the past, the work has been performed partly by Commission forces and partly by outside agencies such as the Institute of Hydraulic Research at Iowa City, the State University of Iowa, Iowa State College, the Iowa Geological Survey and the United States Geological Survey. The major portion of the fifteen new projects has been assigned to these outside agencies.

Creep and Shrinkage Properties of Lightweight Concrete Used in the State of Iowa, HR-136, Phase I, 1968

In February of 1968 a cooperative research project by the Iowa State Highway Commission (Project No. HR-136) and the University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa was initiated in order to determine experimentally the creep and shrinkage characteristics of lightweight-aggregate concrete used in the State of Iowa. This report is concerned with Phase 1 of the Project as described in the Prospectus for the project submitted in November of 1967: "The State Highway Commission is planning to conduct pilot studies in prestressed-lightweight structures fabricated with materials that are proposed for use in bridge structures in the near future. Thus, Phase will have as its immediate objective, investigating the materials to be used in the above mentioned pilot studies.” (1) The work described in this report was also carried out in conjunction with a second cooperative project: "Time-Dependent Camber and Deflection of Non-Composite and Composite Lightweight-Prestressed Concrete Beams" (Project No. HR-137).
