Hi All,
I am trying to plunge in first step in Observatory design.
Found a source to get 8in OD pipe or, a 8in square tube. The pipe wall is 1/8in where as the square tube wall is 1/4in. Cost of square tube is about 40% more than the pipe.
Please suggest if 8in pipe will be sufficient strenght to be a pier of 4ft length.
Thank you, Ansuman.
