Transport Loads

The following table presents typical transport loadings in g.

Force Direction Road Rail Barge Ocean
Lateral 0.5 1.0 0.95 1.0
Longitudinal 1.0 1.5 1.5 1.5
Vertical 1.5 2.0 1.3 1.5

Some customers are more specific when calculating barge or ocean loadings. The following table can assist in those calculations.
