40' Containers
40' Containers
(OP)
Being nosey again. I've seen under a 40' steel container and it looks like there was only 2 longditudenal members, the 4"x2" Channels on the outsides. Everything else on the base seemed to run across it. My question is if they weigh 10 ton and are lifted from the ends, what are the buckling conditions like in the cladding, and the bending of the whole container?

Just guessing.

L17...The sides are not "cladding". They act more as diaphragms.
