MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS OF LATERAL PRESSURES IN FLAT-BOTTOMED DEEP GRAIN BINS

摘要

This method had serious deficiencies since many structures buckled under the vertical lead arising from the friction of the grain on the walls --a phenomenon unknown at the time. On the other hand, it was realized later that the calculations based on hydrostatic pressure distribution yielded exaggerated results compared to the actual lateral pressure.nThe developments in the field of soil mechanics for calculating earth pressures gave rise to the definition of a new factor, k -- “the coefficient of earth pressure at rest," which was borrowed for use in the grain pressure problem.
