The coil couples of 2 x 4 = 8 t stowed longitudinally at the ends of the container keep a distance (middle to middle) of s = 1.40 m. With this, the diagram in Figure 13 displays with an entry of mC/P = 0.284 a minimum length of the longitudinal beams of t = 1.35 m. This requirement is met with 1.40 m.
The longitudinal bending moment in the container will actually be smaller than with a homogeneous load due to the heavier loaded ends of the container. A check by calculation may therefore be omitted.
