The Burton Coefficient is used to calculate the loss of control suffered by an item of compaction equipment whilst driving its steel drum up a wet ramp. It was first calculated by esteemed health and safety logorrhoea Christopher Burton on the 5th February 2020.

It is commonly quoted as 3W(Rainfall) - SD (Slope Ratio) = LC (Loss of Control)
