Title:

DETERMINATION OF FREEZING INDEX VALUES

Accession Number:

00237191

Record Type:

Component

Abstract:

METHODS OF DETERMINING FREEZING INDEX ARE DESCRIBED. AN ELECTRONIC DIGITAL COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR FINDING ACCURATE VALUES OF FREEZING INDEX FROM DAILY PUNCHED CARD RECORDS AVAILABLE FROM THE U. S. WEATHER BUREAU AND THE METEOROLOGICAL BRANCH OF THE CANADIAN DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT IS DISCUSSED. PROBLEMS IN APPLYING THE PROGRAM TO THE PROCESSING OF MASSES OF DATA ARE PRESENTED. STATISTICAL TREATMENT OF THE DATA USING LOGARITHMIC-PROBABILITY PLOTTING IS DESCRIBED FOR DETERMINING RETURN PERIOD VALUES POSSIBLY USEFUL IN APPLICATION TO PAVEMENT DESIGN CONCEPTS.
