RE: ASCE 113 Substation Structure Design Guide Equation for Decrement Factor, Short Circuit Force

I dug into the Word Docx that was sent to ASCE when 113 was being published and the term 2fc should have been in parenthesis in the denominator. We used Word's equation editor which was used to publish Equation 3-42. This decrement factor was based on the older version of IEEE 605-2008 which has...
