ASCE 7-05 equation (6-13a) for gust effect on flexible structures

ASCE 7-05 equation (6-13a) for gust effect on flexible structures

Does anyone know what the little "e" is in this equation?
Thanks.

RE: ASCE 7-05 equation (6-13a) for gust effect on flexible structures

Not Euler's Constant...that has a value of 0.57....

e is the exponential function or the inverse of a natural logarithm.  It has a value of 2.72.

RE: ASCE 7-05 equation (6-13a) for gust effect on flexible structures

Just to be clear, e is the base of natural logarithms.  It is numerically equivalent to the limit of (1 + h)1/h as h approaches zero.

WillisV,

You are absolutely correct!  I was not aware that 'e' was named after Mr. Euler.  I'll be darned.  That is very interesting.
