Abstract
The vertical wall and floor loads and the resultant moments exerted by soft red winter wheat on flat bottom model bins are compared for cyli ndrical-anal conical-shaped bins. Both bins were 7.3 m high and 2.44 n z in diameter at the base. The change in the inclination of the bin wa ll from 0 degrees to 6 degrees with respect to the vertical direction significantly decreased all measured and calculated load parameters.
