2.66'' Corrugation Commercial Stiffener Splice Details
When installing bottom stiffeners, in some cases the stiffener with the base plate attached will not rest on
support structure. Shim plates have been furnished and should be used to fill opening between base plate
and compression element. See
Page 65 for detail.
IMPORTANT: If shim plates are not used where required, the downward pressure of the stiffeners will not
be transferred directly to the foundation and bin failure could result.
