I have a copy of the 5th Edition and there section on single angle compression members. I think there is an error in the formula in the 5th Edition for the values of C1 & C2. I think they should be for C1:...]+yo^3.d and for C2: ..]+xo^2.b+...
Does anyone have the 6th edition and can verify if the error has been picked up? I've attached the page from the 5th Edition.
Thanks

You are correct for C1 but C2 has +xo^3*b not +x0^2*b.
 
That's great, thanks for your quick response. Can I ask another favour, any chance you could scan that page and attach it please?
 
See the attached for your use. One thing I've noticed about this Guide is that newer isn't always better. Some of the earlier editions contained more of the information that now you have to search out from the source references.
