ASCE 7-10 Fig 7-2 Error???
ASCE 7-10 Fig 7-2 Error???
(OP)
I am looking at the dashed lines and solid lines in the 3 graphs in Figures 7-2, ASCE 7-10 and comparing them to ASCE 7-05. Figures 7-2a and 7-2c are essentially identical. For ASCE 7-10 Fig 7-2b, the solid line at Cs=1.0 reads 45 degrees graphically but is labeled 37.5 degrees. For ASCE 7-05 Fig 7-2b, the solid line at Cs=1.0 reads 37.5 degrees graphically and is labeled 37.5 degrees.
Does anyone know what the solid line value in degrees for Cs=1.0 in Figure 7-2b should be?
Does anyone know what the solid line value in degrees for Cs=1.0 in Figure 7-2b should be?

Also, I checked the commentary section out. They have mathematical formulas corresponding to the graphs. If the formulas are correct, then the 7-2b should have Cs=1 at 37.5 degrees. Maybe someone on the ASCE 7 Snow subcommittee could help us.
