Assignment: see HW8 on eLearning Vista, our last HW!!

Sources for AASHTO's "Green Book" – HW8 requires reference to the Green Book. AASHTO sells the

Book and it is not on line. Here's how to get access:

(1) I've placed a copy in 304 Reed Lab on reserve in the bookshelf just to the left inside the door.

You may use the manual in 304 Reed and make copies of a few pages. or

(2) Find the FDOT's "Florida Green Book FGB" on line in the Roadway Design office:

http://www.dot.state.fl.us/rddesign/CS/CS.shtm

This is condensed from AASHTO's book for use in Florida.
