from ASCE 7-05, pg 294
eqn (c6-22a) reads : n1=(0.56/h^2)*sqrt(EI/m)
can anyone please tell me the units for
h, E, I, m?
I had h=ft, E=psi, I=in^4, m=lb/ft(mass per unit height according to the book)
however the answer yields in/ft^2 or 1/ft (w/ conversion)
my problem:
hss5x5x3/16
I=12.6, h=13'...
I am designing a horizontal truss.
The chords are W18x46. the perpendicular web members are W10x22. the diagonal web members are 5/8" dia. rod.
the rods connect through the center of the web of the W18 between 6" -10" from either side of the perpendicular web members.
The rod has a maximum...
I have a 10 x 10 x 10 (cm^3) container filled with water and open at the top. If I open a hole in the bottom with an area of 1cm^2, how long will it take to drain? Please consider ideal, but include the decrease in head.
Also, could you post the equation for it?
thanks,
I've gotten answers of...

It's been a spell since I've designed a retaining wall and previously I always designed in based on active earth pressure forces.
In browsing through my literature for a refresher, I happened upon a section that suggested designing the retaining wall based on the "at rest" earth pressure. The...
