Peak pressure $q_p(7.3m)$	0.911kN/m²	0.911kN/m² ⁽¹⁾	0,00%
Load in zone D	3.28kN/m ⁽²⁾	3.28kN/m	0,00%
Load in zone G	9.18kN/m	9.18kN/m	0,00%
Load in zone H, J, I	5.25kN/m	5.25kN/m	0,00%
Load in zone E	3.28kN/m	3.28kN/m	0,00%

^{1. The peak pressure cannot be requested as a result in Diamonds. But it is possible to request it as an intermediar results using this method.}
^{2. The independent reference states that the load in zone D should be 4.59kN/m instead of 3.28kN/m. But a handcalculation shows that 3.28kN/m is the correct value. The value 4.59kN/m is obtained when we neglec the internal pressure coefficient .}
