"The purpose of this report is to present the results of a condition survey performed at March Air Force Base (MAFB), California, during 30 November-6 December 1972. The two major areas of interest considered in this condition survey were the structural condition of the primary airfield pavements and the condition of pavement repairs and the types of maintenance materials that have been used at this airfield" (p. 1).

This report describes the results of a series of tests on soil borings taken in Atchafalaya Test Section VI, a 2000-ft-long portion of the Atchafalaya Basin Protection Levee System in south-central Louisiana. The samples were tested to interpret the depositional layers in the foundations soils and to determine various engineering properties.

"This appendix presents a description of the loading equipment, the tracking procedure, and the results of tests and observations made during and after the traffic tests on the asphalt stability test section. Analyses of the test results are also included" (p. 1).

"This report presents the results of laboratory and field tests conducted by the Corps of Engineers to develop a method for the design and construction control of asphalt paving mixtures. The investigation consisted of: (a) the selection of a test apparatus and the performance of laboratory studies to develop techniques and procedures; (b) the construction of a test section and the performance of traffic tests with 15,000 and 37,000-lb single and 60,000-lb dual wheel loads to obtain design criteria; and (c) additional laboratory work to adjust the test procedures to the design criteria" (p. 1).

"A technique is described whereby desert areas selected for terrain comparison are mapped in terms of general terrain factors, geometry factors, ground factors, and vegetation" (p. vii).

"This appendix discusses the methods used to classify soils for the preliminary Thailand study and presents pedological soil profile descriptions" (p. B1).

This report discusses studies to investigate the relationship between the strength of stabilized soil layers incorporated in pavement systems and the load-carrying ability of such systems.

The purpose of this report is to present the results of a condition survey performed at McConnell Air Force Base (MAFB), Kansas, during 8-12 May 1972. The three major areas of interest considered in this condition survey were the structural condition of the primary airfield pavements, the condition of pavement repairs and the types of maintenance materials that have been used at this airfield, and any detrimental effects of frost action to the pavement facilities.

Report describing the methodology used to sample and analyze sediment at Ocean City, Maryland as part of a beach nourishment project. During the project, sediment was moved from borrow sites to construct parts of the beach area; both the borrow sites and native beach were tested.

Summary: A two-dimensional finite element seepage computer program for solving complicated seepage problems has been developed.

Abstract: A brief review of the engineering nature of water utilities is presented along with simplified techniques for estimating the cost of various types of water utility projects.

From abstract: This report documents the laboratory model investigation of the lock filling and emptying system for lock addition planned for the Marmet Navigation Project.

This report is a compilation of reports made on the study of habitat development in Miller Sands Marsh and Upland Habitat Development Site in Columbia River, Oregon. This report provides data on birds, mammals, and terrestrial macroinvertebrates that were collected, analyzed, and compared with data from other regions of the United States.

The following report documents the habitat relationships at 24 selected natural and dredged material colonial bird nesting sites and identifies the species and population sizes of all colonial nesting birds of the U.S. Great Lakes of up to 1.6 km inland.

From abstract: "This study examines the existing biota and plant and animal successional patterns at five upland dredged material disposal areas in the United States. The sites selected for study are: (a) Nott Island in Connecticut River; (b) six islands in Hillsborough Bay near Tampa, Florida; (c) an area paralleling a portion of the Whiskey Bay Pilot Channel in the Atchafalaya River basin of Louisiana; (d) a disposal area paralleling a short segment of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway between Port Arthur and Galveston, Texas; and (e) Mott Island in the Columbia River near Astoria, Oregon."

This report is the final report on the field investigations in Eaton's Neck Disposal Site, Long Island Sound.

The following report presents the results of various investigations on the study of the durability of concrete exposed to natural weathering. The report is divided into two parts: first, the natural weathering exposure stations and test procedures are analyzed, then follows the analysis of the programs of investigations.
