Errata - Posted November 20, 2001

On page 807 of the textbook, lines 2 and 3, the units should read as follows:

Vu/b should be  (lb/ft, N/m)

Vn/b should be  (lb/ft, N/m)

Equation 24.3 produces values in lb/ft or N/m.

Likewise, the units for Equation 9.6 (p. 312) and 9.9 (p. 314) should be (lb, N)

This should solve the problem we discussed in class.
