Highway Earthwork Computations (Prepared for Ibm-650 M.D.D.P.M.)
The Missouri program was prepared to fit Missouri construction standards and to cause the computer itself to supply a maximum number of design decisions. The one program will handle both single lane and dual lane designs. In addition it will compute rock excavation quantities separately from earth excavation quantities. Full advantage was taken of the standard Missouri practice of designing dual lane pavements to a single profile grade. This feature in conjunction with the system developed to use the same form of input for template points on both single lane and dual lane designs, enables the computer program to determine the design slopes and quantities for either type of highway. Core drill records are used by the computer to subdivide cross-sections containing rock excavation. The computer selects rock slopes and determines rock excavation where rock is present between template and ground elevations. Job details are designed for input in such a way as to force the computer to automatically select the proper corrections for superelevation, widening, rock, or other special material excavation, median width, slopes, and other variables.
