The straight line drawn representsthe plotted points very closely, the average deviation of thepoints from the curve being but per cent, the maximumdifference of any result from the derived line only 5 per cent. The equation of these lines is P= 1 180 000— 1930/, or dividingby the cross-sectional area of the column inside of the spiral (theconcrete of the shell being totally destroyed and valueless as to pstrength at this point) we obtain the equation -r= 12 150— 4 P=load on column (in pounds).
