Abstract: Measurements of wall pressures have been carried out in a 1.5-m-dia mass flow bunker with three materials. The high flow pressures generated at the top of the cone fluctuate and are unevenly ...

Abstract: A maximum of four zones have been found to exist within a funnel flow bunker. The wall pressures depend upon whether or not material is flowing along the wall. High pressures were found ...

Abstract: The results of the preceding experimental investigation have been applied to the design of bunkers. Examples are given which show how the required wall thickness can be determined by horizontal ...
