signifying an unacceptably high spot in the segment, you then - ANSWER Put
a mark on the pavement where the needle enters the red zone, then another mark
where it exits, and so on.
The 15-foot manual straightedge for bridge approach slabs should be positioned
so that ____ is on the bridge deck.
One inch

On a project, set the ___ on the newly laid pavement, overlapping the first
transverse joint by one inch.
15-foot manual straight edge at 4 feet level
Straightedge rolling
Everything mentioned above—ANSWER 15-foot manual straight edge
In order to check the rolling straight edge's low side during calibration:
Shims should be placed beneath the outer wheels.
The rolling straight edge should be placed on a flat surface.
Under each outside wheel, place a 3/16-inch shin; both sides of the gauge
should read zero.
Shims should be placed beneath the centre wheel. ANSWER Under each
outside wheel, place a 3/16-inch shin; both sides of the gauge should read zero.
In order to check the rolling straight edge's high side during calibration:
Shims should be placed beneath the outer wheels.
Shims should be placed beneath the centre wheel.
The rolling straight edge should be placed on a flat surface.
A 3/16-inch shin should be positioned beneath the centre wheel. Both sides of
the gauge should display zero. ANSWER A 3/16-inch shim should be
positioned beneath the centre wheel. Both sides of the gauge should display
zero.
