Highways and the Catastrophic Floods of 1972
The record contains papers on the catastrophic floods that occurred in 1972 and the resulting impact on highway facilities. This material is of interest to administrators, practicing engineers, and researchers interested in improving hydrologic analyses and hydraulic designs to minimize flood damage to transportation and other facilities. Not only did the record floods caused by Hurricane Agnes cause severe damage to highways in 1972, but numerous floods of significance occurred nationwide during the year. The papers discuss the hydrometeorological conditions associated with these floods and the part played by state and federal agencies in such emergencies; bridge damage due to Hurricane Agnes; and recording, evaluating, and predicting extreme floods.
