In the attached MathCAD 14 worksheet, I am using the eval function to find solutions to 3 separate equations that determine an embedment depth "E" for a particular projected area. This forum so kindly helped me in the past while determining a way to return a zero if the equation result is complex. However, in the attached worksheet the eval function is returning a real value for the interior column equation when the actual answer is complex as can be seen in the attached spreadsheet. Is there a reason why it is returning a real value when the answer is actually complex and the eval function should be returning a zero?
