A physical report on Utah Federal Aid Project number 51-A / by Ira B. Mullis. [1923?]

Report on physical aspects of Utah Federal Aid Project no. 51-A in which a highway would be constructed between Wendover and Knolls, Utah. The roadway presented unique problems because six miles of it crossed a desert of solid salt and the remaining thirty miles passed through mud flats. This report investigates the subgrade soil, effect of salt beds on the stability of the roadway, effect of destructive wave action and its prevention, and the adaptability of available road surfacing materials to the subgrade soil.
