For solid circular columns with ends flat in general structural use under con-
tinuously dry conditions:
Q/A is same as for square column of equal area. For tapered round column,
d and A are taken as for section distant 1/3 L from smaller end. Q/A at small
end must not exceed S.
Note: Where numeric constants appear in formulas, compute in USCS val-
ues and then convert to SI using the conversion factors in Chap. 1.
