Lateral pressures are exerted both internally and externally in a direction normal to the wall surface on an antidynamic tub

38、e or a flume. 4.3.1.1 External lateral pressures. The pressure at any given level on an antidynamic tube or flume is estimated as equal to the lateral pressure at the wall at the same level using the techniques described in Section 4.1. 4.3.1.2 Internal lateral pressure. The pressures on the wall at

39、 any given level in an antidynamic tube or a flume may be neglected or estimated using the techniques described in Section 4.1 with a bin diameter equal to the equivalent internal diameter of the antidynamic tube or the flume. 4.3.2 Vertical stresses on antidynamic tubes or flumes. Vertical stresses

Moisture content increases during storage of 4% or more

43、 can cause lateral pressures to increase several times static load conditions. 4.4.2.2 Precautions. Precautions should be taken in the design, location and management of bins to prevent the occurrence of grain moisture content increases. 4.4.3 Vibration induced pressures. There are insufficient data

44、 available to predict the magnitude or significance of vibration induced pressures. 5 Commentary 5.1 This section includes the basis for the design methods suggested in Section 1 Purpose, Section 2 Terminology, Section 3 Nomenclature, and Section 4 General Design Information. Further discussion of t

45、he provisions of the Engineering Practice may be found in Bokhoven et al. (1986), Britton and Moysey (1986), Bucklin et al. (1986), Manbeck et al. (1986), and Ross et al. (1986). The methods described in this Engineering Practice apply only to bins which are centrally loaded and emptied. 5.1.1 Stati

46、c pressures. An accepted method of predicting static loads on bin walls and floors is that proposed by Janssen (1895). Janssen assumed that the bulk density, lateral to vertical pressure ratio, and coefficient of friction between the grain and bin wall were constants for any given configuration. Jan

47、ssens technique assumes that the grain pressure does not vary across the bin cross section. Values of k and listed in Table 1 and values of W listed in ASAE Data D241, Density, Specific Gravity, and Weight-Moisture Relationships of Grain for Storage, are values that will produce estimates of the upp

Material movement occurs in a center core of the mass, and overpressures are not generated. Studies of flow patterns in bins under 3 m (10 ft) in diameter indicate that the transition between funnel and plug flow may be at a point as low as H/D equal to 1.3 for small bins (Nguyen, 1980). However, field observation of bins over 3 m (10 ft) in diameter indicate that the t
