Pressures in a Shallow Rectangular Bin
Publication: Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers
Volume 117, Issue 1
Abstract
In the design of shallow rectangular bins to support granular materials, some estimate must be made of the distribution and magnitude of the pressures involved. If the bin is used to transport granular materials that are subjected to impact or vibration during movement, the final pressures will be different from the initial pressures. The tests described were undertaken to obtain some information regarding the magnitude and possible variations in such pressures. Strain and deflection measurements were made on the sides and bottom of a small bin for loads of wheat, gravel, and cement under both static and dynamic conditions; and direct comparisons were made with corresponding determinations for static water loadings that provided known pressures.
