SIDEWAY UNINHIBITED
The subscripts A and B refer to the joints at the two ends of the column section being considered. G is defined as Σ (I c /Lc ) G= Σ (I g /L g ) in which Σ indicates a summation of all members rigidly connected to that joint and lying on the plane in which buckling of the column is being considered. Ic is the moment of inertia and Lc the unsupported length of a column section, and Ig is the moment of inertia and Lg the unsupported length of a girder or other restraining member. Ic and Ig are taken about axes perpendicular to the plane of buckling being considered. For column ends supported by but not rigidly connected to a footing or foundation, G is theoretically infinity, but, unless actually designed as a true friction-free pin, may be taken as "10" for practical designs. If the column end is rigidly attached to a properly designed footing, G may be taken as 1.0. Smaller values may be used if justified by analysis. ♦ Manual of Steel Construction: Allowable Stress Design, American Institute of Steel Construction, 9th ed., 1989.

Unit hydrograph:
The direct runoff hydrograph that would result from one unit of effective rainfall occurring uniformly in space and time over a unit period of time.
Transmissivity, T,
is the product of hydraulic conductivity and thickness, b, of the aquifer (L2T –1).
Storativity or storage of an aquifer is the volume of water coefficient, S, taken into or released from storage per unit surface area per unit change in potentiometric (piezometric) head.
