B Transverse divisions

 The load in kN per metre length of the division shall be taken to be as follows:

h = height of grain in metres from the bottom of the divisionsfootnote.
L = longitudinal extent of the bulk grain in metres.

  • a. For values of h equal or less than 6.00 m the force shall be determined by linear interpolation or extrapolation as necessary.

  • b. For values of h exceeding 6.00 m the force shall be determined using the values of p/h2given in table I.1.
