Evaluation of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement

The primary goal of this laboratory is to correctly identify an unknown substance. To achieve this task, one may use various tests that reveal both chemical and physical properties of a substance. By comparing the results of a known substance and the unknown substance, one may eliminate alternative possibilities and more accurately predict the undisclosed compound. Furthermore, by performing these tests, data can be collected and verified regarding chemical and physical properties of the unknown. Understanding the chemical properties of a known substance aids one’s understanding of the unknown based on comparative analysis of the results of the tests.

The purpose of this experiment is to prepare Allura Red standard solutions, use a colorimeter to measure the absorbance value of each standard solution, find the relationship between absorbance and concentration of a solution and use the results of this experiment to determine the concentration of Allura Red

Old asphalt often forms crumbles along the edges. The crumbles continue to spread and get worse

8) Measure the mass of the crucible and Magnesium Oxide; record in your data table.

I am absolutely certain that everyone at one point in their life has passed by a littered beach, park or road. There are critical steps and guidelines that must be taken in order to Adopt-a-Highway, such as applying for the program, learning the rules, using the correct equipment and taking the necessary precautions.

Every day when I drive on south Mill road, I am constantly identifying new potholes to avoid. Portions of the White Horse Pike that run through Absecon are not much better. These are some of the most used roads in Absecon and yet they don’t get the maintenance they deserve. Meanwhile, streets like Ohio avenue and Pitney Road have been paved more times in the last 5 years then South Mill Road has been paved in nearly 20 years.

The purpose of this lab is to determine the chemical and physical properties of an unknown substance. Then, through the use and practice of some basic techniques used for analyzing compounds, find a compound that shares similar traits. Some of these basic techniques that were performed include: using a magnifying glass to determine the physical characteristics, solubility, conductivity (solid state/aqueous solution), pH test of the aqueous solution, reactivity test with Lead Nitrate, Hydrochloric Acid, and Sodium Hydroxide, a flame test, and melting point based on the time it took to reach it within 20 seconds. With these tests one can narrow down unknowns using the results, and then finally run confirmatory tests to solidify the findings.

There are also things caused by asphalt that will affect us long term. The production of asphalt releases 1.6 million tons of carbon into the air every year. In order to take that amount of carbon out of the air, it would take 1,311,475 acres of forests, which is more than double the size of Rhode Island. If we’re going to attack climate change, and help recover the environmental damage we’ve treated Earth with over the years, we have to do take substantial steps, that may change the way our society

Automobiles are often criticized for being gas-guzzling machines that are depleting our ozone and putting our world at risk. Their dependency on fossil fuels is rightly under fire for social, economic, political, and environmental reasons; none of which bring a positive connotation to the topic of automobiles. A less criticized topic, but arguably a more prominent issue, is our dependency on them. There are infrastructure ‘improvements’ constantly being made within cities to accommodate the personal automobile. Our willingness to use cars with no recognition of the effects that they have on our surroundings speaks to the culture and time we live in. Modern cities were birthed from the automobile but nurtured by its inhabitants.

It is said that we need twelve hugs or more daily to be healthy. While it may not always be possible for us to give or receive that many of hugs person to person, it is entirely possible to send words that give a ‘fresh-hugged’ feeling. If you have ever had a bunch of angry or

I dream of bumpy dirt roads and spontaneous, unpredictable adventures that keep my heart always wanting more. I dream of freedom and play, a nine to five job never being my forte. I dream of small towns and big cities that leave my soul searching for more, saying this could be what I’m looking for. I dream of breaking free to let myself be. So at night, when I dream of bumpy dirt roads, maybe someday the end of that same dirt road in my dreams will lead me to what I’ve been searching for all along: the incomparable and unfamiliar roads that will lead me to my own freedom.

After the presoaking process, each tubing was opened and one side of the tubing was folded and tied with either string or dental floss. Using a graduated cylinder the bags were filled with its corresponding solutes. The first bag was filled with 10mL of dH2O, bag two was filled with 10mL of 15% sucrose, bag three was filled with 10mL of 30% sucrose and the fourth bag was filled with 10mL of dH2O. After each bag was filled, the other side of the bag was folded and tied off with string or dental floss. Afterward, each bag was individually weighed for the initial mass of the experiment and recorded into a table. Acquiring four cylinder beakers, beakers one, two, and three were filled with 200mL of dH2O while the fourth beaker was filled with a 30% sucrose solution.

In 2006, The City of East Lansing referred to The Trowbridge Road Corridor as an important area for future redevelopment in their “Big Picture” Comprehensive Plan. Being a main route to East Lansing and Michigan State University it allows high visibility and access to and from the surrounding neighborhoods. In order to encourage future development in this area, most of the properties along that corridor needed to be redeveloped. Review for this project began in 2007. Due to the original design for the car-oriented area, the corridor and the surrounding land did not perfectly complement each other. The addition of numerous curb cuts and disjointed interior vehicle connections increased the dysfunction between cars and pedestrians. Pedestrian safety, highway and train noise, conditions of the parking lot, heavy pass-through traffic, depth of the parcels south of Trowbridge, and lack of marketing focus are a few of the preexisting weaknesses of the site. River Caddis Developing is the firm responsible for the development of the Trowbridge Village. River Caddis development has acquired developed and/or redeveloped around two hundred million dollars of multifamily and commercial assets in states throughout the country (McGraw, 2015). This project alone reached close to 17 million dollars. Trowbridge Village offers students unique and new places to shop and dine in the convenience of their backyard. In total the village stretches to almost 47,000 square feet. Trowbridge Lofts
