Hi Alan. You’re correct, the “203 ksi” should read “2030 ksi”. Sorry for the typo and thanks for catching it.

I was reading the Axtell and Brown 2011 Case history PP3-15 for the MRB. I back calculated the Emass and I got 2027 ksi instead of 203 ksi. The 2027 ksi is still about 170 qu however 170 x 12 ksi = 2040 ksi.
