Garbage Lateral Load
Garbage Lateral Load
(OP)
Can anybody point me to a publication somewhere that has lateral loads for garbage. I'm working with an incinerator complex with upwards of 80ft deep pits with interior walls that will only have garbage piled up against them and using a soil load seemed a little too conservative. Thanks in advance.

RE: Garbage Lateral Load
Is the garbage going to be compacted?
If so, I would use a full soil load - 35 to 50 psf/ft at least depending on your framing system.
