MEMO TO: W. B. Drake Associate D i rector of Research SUBJECT: Test Project F. A. 366, C 1 and C ·2, Harrison-Pendleton Counties This project, located on US 2 7, was de signed to provide performance data on concrete durability over a peri od of years. The pavement, totaling 7. 89 miles, was constructed in ten experimental test sections, as shown on the layout map in Figure 1 . . F i ve blends of cement, containing portland, natural and two different air -entrai ning agents, were used with two types of coarse aggregate ~- limestone and river gravel. Since the constructi on of the pavement in the summer of 1941, reports and memoranda have been released deal ing w i th several aspects of the over-all study: l. 2. 3. 4.

Degree of spalling (Table 3 and Fig . 3). 5 . C'rack and joint frequency and condition (Crack Survey, F i g . 2 and Table 3) . The informati on presented here is ?-rranged to permit comparison of the test secti ons with consideration for each section 1 s basic d esign factors a n d performance data after 16 years of servi ce . Table 3 is intended as a summary sheet for the performance data, so that by taking de sign d ifferences into account a comparative evalua-t i on can be made of each sec t ion . ~~su~/~· Milton Evans, Jr .
