Re: Bin Quaking
Steve,
I beleive that there are some more articles about 1991 and before era - in the BSH publications and by Alan Roberts and others. From memory, vertical insert tubes were added above the outlet to control the flow???
This was when there were a few reported cases of quaking - some with actual structural failures.
Now the phenomem has been understood for several years, I think that the problem has faded away unless it is not serious event and people live with it.
Others may have more to add.
Cheers

Lyn,
We are investigating what is perceived to be a case of quaking in a "mass flow" bin.
Are there any acknowledged information sources or useful references to assist in addressing the issues?
Thanks ■
