134 _JANSSEN’S THEORY
Assumptions
1) Mos of te weight ofthe marl stored inthe bri sappone by
ction between the material and the vertical wal
2) Weight transferred jo the hopes bettom is very less. (Hence Rankine or
Coulomb's lateral pressure theory cannot be applied
3) The vertical wall ofthe bin is subjected to vertical force and horizontal
pressure.
Derivation
Let df= thickness ofthe elementary layer considered
= depth from the top
'F,= verucal Intensiy of pressure acting at top of We layer
(P, +P.) = vertical intensity of presse acting on the botiom of the layer
Ph hevaontal pressure
{fa stress due to fiction
v= unit weight of stored material
|A= cfs area of material stored
P= bin's interior perimeter
Hydraulic mean depth of the es
= angle of friction on the walls of bin
‘@= angle of interzal friction of stored material consider the equilibrium
of the vertical forces acting as shown in Figure
