13.3

 The total load per unit length of divisions shown in tables A 13-1 to table A 13-4 inclusive may, if considered necessary, be assumed to have a trapezoidal distribution with height. In such cases, the reaction loads at the upper and lower ends of a vertical member or upright are not equal. The reaction loads at the upper end expressed as percentages of the total load supported by the vertical member or upright may be taken to be those shown in tables A 13-5 and A 13-6.

  • .1 Table A 13-5

    Longitudinal divisions loaded on one side only

    Bearing reaction at the upper end of upright as a percentage of load from A 13.1

  • .2 Table A 13-6

    Transverse divisions loaded on one side only

    Bearing reaction at the upper end of upright as a percentage of load from A 13.2

  • .3 The strength of the end connections of such vertical members or uprights may be calculated on the basis of the maximum load likely to be imposed at either end. These loads are as follows:

Longitudinal divisions
  Maximum load at the top 50% of the appropriate total load from A 13.1
  Maximum load at the bottom 55% of the appropriate total load from A 13.1
Transverse divisions
  Maximum load at the top 45% of the appropriate total load from A 13.2
  Maximum load at the bottom 60% of the appropriate total load from A 13.2.
  • .4 The thickness of horizontal wooden boards may also be determined having regard to the vertical distribution of the loading represented by tables A 13-5 and A 13-6 and in such cases

    Where:
    t = thickness of board in millimetres
    a = horizontal span of the board, i.e. distance between uprights in metres
    h = head of grain to the bottom of the division in metres
    p = total load per unit length derived from the tables in kilonewtons
    k = factor dependent upon vertical distribution of the loading.
  • When the vertical distribution of the loading is assumed to be uniform, i.e. rectangular, k shall be taken as equal to 1.0. For a trapezoidal distribution

    Where:
    R = is the upper end bearing reaction taken from table A 13-5 or A 13-6.
  • .5 Stays or shores

  • The sizes of stays and shores shall be so determined that the loads derived from tables A 13-1 to A 13-4 inclusive shall not exceed one third of the breaking loads.

h = height of grain in metres from the bottom of the division. When the cargo space is filled, the height (h) shall be taken to the overhead deck in way of the division.
