Systematic, well-designed research provides the most effective approach to the solution of many problems facing highway administrators and engineers. Often, highway problems are of local interest and can best be studied by highway departments individually or in cooperation with their state universities and others. However, the accelerating growth of highway transportation develops increasingly complex problems of wide interest to highway authorities. These problems are best studied through a coordinated program of cooperative research. In recognition of these needs, the highway administrators of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials initiated in 1962 an objective national highway research program employing modern scientific techniques. This program is supported on a continuing basis by funds from participating member states of the Association and it receives the full cooperation and support of the Federal Highway Administration, United States Department of Transportation. The Transportation Research Board of the National Academies was requested by the Association to administer the research program because of the Board’s recognized objectivity and understanding of modern research practices. The Board is uniquely suited for this purpose as it maintains an extensive committee structure from which authorities on any highway transportation subject may be drawn; it possesses avenues of communications and cooperation with federal, state and local governmental agencies, universities, and industry; its relationship to the National Research Council is an insurance of objectivity; it maintains a full-time research correlation staff of specialists in highway transportation matters to bring the findings of research directly to those who are in a position to use them. The program is developed on the basis of research needs identified by chief administrators of the highway and transportation departments and by committees of AASHTO. Each year, specific areas of research needs to be included in the program are proposed to the National Research Council and the Board by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials. Research projects to fulfill these needs are defined by the Board, and qualified research agencies are selected from those that have submitted proposals. Administration and surveillance of research contracts are the responsibilities of the National Research Council and the Transportation Research Board. The needs for highway research are many, and the National Cooperative Highway Research Program can make significant contributions to the solution of highway transportation problems of mutual concern to many responsible groups. The program, however, is intended to complement rather than to substitute for or duplicate other highway research programs.

Materials, Specificfation and Detailing - Norman Wienand
This book provides for trainee or qualified Chartered Architectural Technologists (MCIAT) to understand their particular specialisms. To be recognised as competent, a Chartered Architectural Technologist must be able to analyse, synthesise and evaluate design factors in
order to produce design solutions which will satisfy performance, production and procurement criteria. In this publication, the author carefully takes the reader through aspects of the technical design process from early stages right through to the
detailed design. Any design has to be communicated to the end-user in a way they can understand so that the requirements of the designer are correctly implemented on site.

Project sheduling and production management is one of the most profitable careers within the modern construction industry. Although lenders, owners, contractors, developers, project teams, inspectors, designers, engineers, suppliers, and a host of others all play integral parts in the construction process, the project scheduler is instrumental in making the production schedule either profitable or a financial disaster. This book describes the efficient ways of project scheduilng through various methods such as CPM.
