SlideRuleEra,
Those pages were great. The only thing missing was the calculation for pressure against the retaining walls. Is there a quick formula that I'm not aware of that if you have the material weight and angle of repose that you can determine the pile pressures against vertical...
CTW,
Duly noted about the loader loads. I did open the attachment and it had great densities of product but no repose angles or EFD values. The search continues.
Thanks again
Hey everyone,
This has been helpful but I should clarify that this is not a steel bin. This is a steel truss building with a fabric membrane roof. Additionally it has reinforced concrete walls of up to 10' in height retaining the products mentioned in the first post. Very often the endwalls...
SteveGregory,
Thanks for the suggestion. I used to have that book but lost in when I changed jobs a few years back. I guess I can pick up a used copy of it.
I work for a company that does a lot of storage buildings. Many times these builidngs have concrete walls that retain fertilizer (all types), grain and salt/sand storage. What resource can I turn to to get the most accurate values for evaluating the pressure imposed by the material on the...
