product storage retaining wall
product storage retaining wall
(OP)
Fellers,
I'm a structural engineer and design simple retaining walls for soil. I need to design a 10' retaining wall for the storage of granular tri-aluminum hydrate. The density is 63 pcf, what equivalent fluid pressure should i design the wall for. This is similiar to storing salt for use on highways for snow.
thanks!

RE: product storage retaining wall
Equivalent fluid weight is KaY = 0.7x63= 44 pcf. If you wish you can round it to 48 pcf.
