Book Description
Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) Seasonal Monitoring program (SMP) instrumentation was installed in pavement sections at the Ohio SHRP Test Road. The pavements are monitored for the seasonal variations of moisture, temperature and frost penetration. Data from the instrumentation is subjected to quality checks and prepared for uploading to the FHWA Information Management System (IMS). Findings from the testing are to be incorporated into future pavement design procedures.

Seasonal Instrumentation of SHRP Pavements

Book Description
Seasonal Monitoring Program (SMP) instrumentation was installed in five sections at the Ohio Test Pavement in Delaware County, Ohio using Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) protocols developed for the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) group to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The SMP instrumentation monitors pavements for temperature and pavement bases and subgrade soils for variations in moisture, temperature, and frost penetration. Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) instrumentation was installed onsite in two sections for monitoring the moisture. Thermal conductivity sensors (TCS) were installed in four sections to measure soil moisture suction. Laboratory soil-water characteristic tests were conducted on remolded subgrade soil.--The TDR volumetric moisture contents typically varied by 10% to 15% from the driest to the wettest periods, but sometimes the variations were larger. The lower water contents occurred during the late winter/early spring months and the higher contents occurred during the late summer/early fall months. This reflects the climatic conditions that occurred. Some of the TDR moisture contents exceeded 40%, wich is greater than the soil porosity and therefore not possible. An equation for TDR volumetric water content developed for the FHWA yields lower water contents. Most of the thermal conductivity sensors are no longer within calibration. Data from sensors in calibration indicate very low matric suctions, which is consistent with high water contents. Soil-water characteristic relationships were obtained for the subgrade soil using trizxial and pressure plate apparatus. The relationships from the two tests are comparable. The soil exhibits some hysteresis when comparing drying and wetting curves.

Book Description
“An intense snapshot of the chain reaction caused by pulling a trigger.” —Booklist (starred review) “Astonishing.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “A tour de force.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) A Newbery Honor Book A Coretta Scott King Honor Book A Printz Honor Book A Time Best YA Book of All Time (2021) A Los Angeles Times Book Prize Winner for Young Adult Literature Longlisted for the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature Winner of the Walter Dean Myers Award An Edgar Award Winner for Best Young Adult Fiction Parents’ Choice Gold Award Winner An Entertainment Weekly Best YA Book of 2017 A Vulture Best YA Book of 2017 A Buzzfeed Best YA Book of 2017 An ode to Put the Damn Guns Down, this is New York Times bestselling author Jason Reynolds’s electrifying novel that takes place in sixty potent seconds—the time it takes a kid to decide whether or not he’s going to murder the guy who killed his brother. A cannon. A strap. A piece. A biscuit. A burner. A heater. A chopper. A gat. A hammer A tool for RULE Or, you can call it a gun. That’s what fifteen-year-old Will has shoved in the back waistband of his jeans. See, his brother Shawn was just murdered. And Will knows the rules. No crying. No snitching. Revenge. That’s where Will’s now heading, with that gun shoved in the back waistband of his jeans, the gun that was his brother’s gun. He gets on the elevator, seventh floor, stoked. He knows who he’s after. Or does he? As the elevator stops on the sixth floor, on comes Buck. Buck, Will finds out, is who gave Shawn the gun before Will took the gun. Buck tells Will to check that the gun is even loaded. And that’s when Will sees that one bullet is missing. And the only one who could have fired Shawn’s gun was Shawn. Huh. Will didn’t know that Shawn had ever actually USED his gun. Bigger huh. BUCK IS DEAD. But Buck’s in the elevator? Just as Will’s trying to think this through, the door to the next floor opens. A teenage girl gets on, waves away the smoke from Dead Buck’s cigarette. Will doesn’t know her, but she knew him. Knew. When they were eight. And stray bullets had cut through the playground, and Will had tried to cover her, but she was hit anyway, and so what she wants to know, on that fifth floor elevator stop, is, what if Will, Will with the gun shoved in the back waistband of his jeans, MISSES. And so it goes, the whole long way down, as the elevator stops on each floor, and at each stop someone connected to his brother gets on to give Will a piece to a bigger story than the one he thinks he knows. A story that might never know an END…if Will gets off that elevator. Told in short, fierce staccato narrative verse, Long Way Down is a fast and furious, dazzlingly brilliant look at teenage gun violence, as could only be told by Jason Reynolds.
