publication is 100% error free, but 24 pages of errata sounds excessive.
Most constr. docs errors are typos inwhich we can interpret the meaning,
(ie. "wood beam" spelled "wood bem." But a mistake in a formula in a
technical publication can have disasterous results, (i.e. a "greater than"
sign reversed to "less than"). From the postings, it sounds like ASCE
dropped the ball at our expense.
