ERRATA
In the Technical Forum article Buckling of Steel Tunnel Liner under
External Pressure by David Berti, Richard Stutzman, Eric Lindquist, and
Maryam Eshghipour, which appeared in December 1998, Vol. 124(3), 55
89, the following clarifications and corrections should be made.

On page 61, Eqs. (8) and (9) should read as follows:

Pcr =

On page 62, the second sentence preceding Eq. (11) should read as follows:
Given that ym is equal to the sum of yo, ys, and yc, substitutions can be made
that eliminate the unknowns ym, ys, yc, and n, leaving Pcr and known values
in the equation.

On page 66, Eqs. (13a) and (13b) should read as follows:

On page 71, at the bottom of the page, Pcr should be 2.030 MPa, not 2,030
MPa:
cr =

(2.030 MPa) (1.537 m)

= 123 MPa (17.8 ksi) < 0.80Fy = 177 MPa (25.6 ksi)
(0.0254 mm)

On page 74, dimension L cl should be added to the top of Fig. 10.

On page 83, the last two equations should read as follows:

Tweld = w 2 2 = (218 kN/m)2 (370 kN/m)2 = 429 kN/m (2.45 kips/in.)
