I'm having trouble getting the answer to match on this one. I think it may have something to do with me missing a conversion somewhere, but I'm not sure.
It's asking for a pressure due to uniformly distributed surcharge load, and I found the equation (AASHTO 3.11.6.2-1) and got all the same angles that the solution presents, however when plugging it in, I keep getting an answer of 0.5172, not 0.90.
I'm convinced I'm missing something very stilly, but I still can't seem to get the answers to line up.
Thanks!
