EK342

Care should be taken not to round intermediate answers too soon during a solution. This will cause a loss of accuracy in the final answer. If the final answer is […]

EK189

Direct contact between precast elements should only be used when great accuracy in manufacturing and erection is achieved and when the bearing stresses are small, usually less than 0,2fcd.

EK29

In finite element analysis, solution accuracy is judged in terms of convergence as the element “mesh” is refined.

EK06

Accuracy to three significant figures is considered satisfactory for most engineering calculations.

EK05

The number of significant figures in an answer should be no greater than the number of figures justified by the accuracy of the given data.
