Writing for survival in SCRIBD!

This time I am writing while cursing SCRIBD! :D


Because every time I start to download something from SCRIBD, they will ask me to get
daily, or monthly or annual membership by paying some USDs online, but there exist
another option to upload a genuine piece of writing to avoid payments and memberships, so
I am about to write something to get through the use of SCRIBD.
Swear to god, I was trying to download couple of pages related Steinbrenners Equation for
stress calculation, but I never thought of writing scrap to get it downloaded. Somehow, the
thing called SCRIBD made me to write this scrap or to download this particular search result
from Google is that reason I came across an obnoxious result while I was attempting solving
one class problem related to stress calculation under a footing.
There exist a chart so called Fadums which I could use for rough estimation of Influence
Factor values which are parts of the equation to calculate the stress below a certain depth
under a rectangular foundation.
Fadums chart is completely a graphical presentation of Steinbrenners solution for the
stress calculation integral which is having lot more algebraic complexities at once to work
out. Engineers usually do rough calculations, doesnt much worry about decimals, the
accuracy of any calculation is predetermined, depending on the requirements and
encountering the real uncertainties around. Good assumptions will avoid tedious calculations
and complicated results while saving time. Boring calculations with so many variables and
algebraic notations or complex integrations procedures are not very much useful tools for
engineers but handy assumptions or ignoring minor effects will do the magic for most of the
practical calculations.
But, even though, for a certain degree of well-known equations must obey the rules in
algebra, thats above question. Lets say in very simple form, if Steinbrenners equation is
represented in a more pleasing way by a graph, the equation should have the ordinates
calculated according to the independent variables or the y values must meet the criteria in
the equation by x values consistently. Why its loosing for a particular set of values but rest
of the values are confirming into the equation? This was my question but no one yet
answered.
Steinbrenner, Amen!

my usage of referencing documents there.)
