Kiefer & Chu ("Chicago Storm") information

(OP)
Can anybody send me (fax, pdf, hardcopy) a copy of the paper by Kiefer & Chu that appeared in Vol. 83, No. 4 of ASCE's Journal of the Hydraulics Division, titled: "Synthetic storm pattern for drainage design"?  I think it's the Bermuda Triangle of journal articles.  I've checked all the university libraries in my area, and they either: 1) have all volumes except 1957, or 2) start their holdings at 1958!

Also, does anybody have a good algorithm to calculate the A, B, and C constants for a given IDF curve?  I've programmed a Marquart-Levenberg routine, but it doesn't work as efficiently as I'd like.

Thanks,
Rick

RE: Kiefer & Chu ("Chicago Storm") information

The program, SMADA, written by Wanielista and others has a built in utility routine for calculating IDF and many other types of curves.


The SMADA programs were written to accompany the textbook

M.P. Wanielista, R. Kersten, and R. Eaglin. The text is
available from John Wiley and Sons publishers.
