Heavy Equipment Impact Loading
Heavy Equipment Impact Loading
(OP)
I am looking for any information relating to horizontal loads imposed by heavy equipment (30 ton payloader).
In brief, my situation is I need to design a retaining wall that also acts as a push wall for payloaders scooping trash.
This is a trash transfer facility.

Also, some ideas....
1.watch the cover on the rebar, the blades of front end loaders may chip the concrete, exposing reinf.
2. look for additives that give hardness/durability to the concrete.
3. Use epoxy coated bars. These transfer stations tend to bring in some gross fluids in.
