     • E.g. If m & n-Influence Factors are calculated to be 0.254 & 1.381 respectively, the Influence Coefficient is linearly interpolated to be 0.29 from the nearest Ic table solutions at:

       • Ic table value = 0.229 for (m,n) = (0.2,1.2)

       • Ic table value = 0.333 for (m,n) = (0.3, 1.2)
