Old AASHTO (AASHO) Standard Specs

[OSUCivlEng]

Does anyone know where I can find or can share a copy of: The Standard Specs 1st Edition, 1931 and The Standards Specs, 8th Edition 1961?

Maybe @bridgebuster might have a copy?

Thanks

Sorry, mine don't go back that far... but I'm following this in case someone else turns them up!

OSU - I have a hard copy of the 1961 specs. I had a copy of the '31 specs. Unfortunately, the company changed the subscription service recently and I'm unable to open the electronic file. Next week I'll check with one of my coworkers to see if he can open his version.

Unfortunately, my co-worker can't open his copy either.

Thanks. I was trying to determine if either one of those old specs allowed live load to be ignored for more than 3 feet of fill. I was looking at an old box culvert standard that was created for the 31 specs and last revised in 63. It states "for fills 3 feet to 10 feet", but also has a table that says no live load and no impact. It's puzzling.

Here's an excerpt from a PCA manual called "Concrete Culverts & Conduits", circa 1939 (There isn't any date on it but there's a footnote referring to a 1939 magazine article.

Also attached is a 1949 PCA article for vertical pressures on culverts under concrete pavement.

It seems I have a pdf of the circa 1939 manual.
