    Container Loading

    Thanks for the replies. The material we currently use is polyethylene resin, and the container holds about 40,000 lbs. The material we were going to switch to is a white colorant additive (again in a granular form) and would be ~95,500lbs in the same container. I'll make sure and check the...

    Container Loading

    I want to model both, but as two systems. I believe the frame is the most concerning system so I wanted to model it first. I'll just represent the container with a load on each column (the part I'm having a problem with), and go from there. Then if the frame is in fact strong enough, I'll...

    Need help with understanding mezzanine loading

    The mezzanine is pretty large (100' x 30') or bigger. There are offices at one end, equipment on the other, storage going towards the middle from both ends, and the barrels almost in the center. There is open space around the barrels (6' out from each long side, and probably 4 1/2' at one end...

    Need help with understanding mezzanine loading

    Hi, It was recently brought up at the place I work that the mezzanine could possibly be overloaded. I calculated the point load on some 50 gallon barrels (the heaviest thing we have up there). Each barrel is 22.5" in diameter and weighs 200 kg. I calculated a load of ~160 lbs/ft^2. The...
