Enter the values in the units indicated in the top 7 boxes. For End fixing factor enter
| End Fixings | Theoretical K value | Practical K value |
| pinned frictionless ends: | K=1 | K=1 |
| fixed ends: | K=0.5 | K=0.65 |
| fixed - pinned and guided: | K=0.7 | K=0.8 |
| fixed - free: | K=2 | K=2.1 |
