Jet lag by direction, worked through on routes out of Singapore and Hong Kong

Flying east asks the body clock to run earlier and flying west asks it to run later, and early estimates from real flights put the average rates at about 1 and 1.5 hours a day.

Rebar weight by the d²/162 rule runs a fraction heavy against the standards

Rebar mass per metre is usually worked out as the bar's diameter in millimetres, squared, divided by 162. We checked that shortcut against Hong Kong's open CS2 table and the mass tolerance it allows a test specimen, then against US bar sizes and two ways of counting bars.

Humidity adds close to 400 feet to density altitude at Changi

Water vapour is lighter than dry air, so humid air raises density altitude even at a sea-level airport. At Changi's April climate normals it adds close to 400 ft, and the 120 ft per degree rule of thumb lands about 300 ft short.

Science

The same wind speed can mean twice the pressure, depending on its averaging time

Wind pressure follows the square of the speed, so whether a figure is a 3-second gust or a 10-minute mean can more than double the pressure it implies. The Eurocode, Singapore's road-element standards, Hong Kong's 2019 Code and Malaysia's MS 1553 each define their design wind differently.
