14 ANDRÉ & MARCEL REIMBERT: Assuming that the internal friction angle is equal to the natural slope angle: 14

15 UNE 1991: The evaluation of the lateral pressure ratio K should take account of the restraint provided by the wall against outward movement of the stored solid. Where a structural analysis is used to demonstrate that the wall can displace sufficiently in its elastic range, a lower value of K may be adopted. 15

16 Given the width/height ratio, the grain always reaches the wall after falling down the grain slope. 16

17 Silo warehouse during a rice harvest season in Uruguay 17

18 The pressure obtained from Reimbert's passive thrust, adopting an internal friction angle of 30 for rice, turns out to be twice the value of the original calculation. Considering also that the stored grain height is a meter over the design value, we would have a shearing stress 3 times higher and a bending moment 3.6 times higher than the design loads. 18
