2.66" Corrugation Commercial Stiffener Splice Details
When installing bottom stiffeners, you may find that in some cases the stiffener with 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 58 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.
