Carry the 1-in. square bars spaced 12 in. from the top of the deck
around the corner and add in each interval between these bars one 1^-in.

d (\/2pn + (pri)2 pri) = 11.5 in. when d = 46 in., A = 2.27 sq. in.,
n = 10 and E is infinity. Adding the axial thrust will tend to increase
the effective depth to, say, 14 in. The section coefficients with the esti

The discrepancy in Z is 0.20 in., and the corresponding corrections

are made in A, Q and /. Using the corrected values of A, Q and /,
determine the final value of Z.
