Hello everybody,

I am unable to understand Table 3.1 "Limiting width to thickness ratio" fully.

(1) The first item under the heading "Compression element" contains two expressions "Outstanding element of compression flange" and "Internal element of compression flange". There seems to be some error here.

(2) As pointed out by Amit, the values of r1 and r2 have to be either both positive or both -ve. There cannot be two different cases of r1 alone being -ve and r2 alone being -ve. Something is wrong here.

Regards

S.P.Srinivasan
