To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Granular and fragmental materials do not exert a pressure upward nor will they flow upward from a horizontal orifice, even though that orifice be under a considerable head. This property is, of course, distinctively different from the corresponding behavior of fluids. Because of the friction and the interlocking action of the par- ticles of granular and fragmental materials and the friction on BINS AND CHIMNEYS 373 the sides of the bin, the weight of materials in deep bins is largely borne by t...he sides of the bin directly and does not come upon the bottom. This weight is supported by the sides as actually as if a portion of the contents were in a box and placed on top of the structure. When the depth of the bin is about 2H times the diameter or greater, the material wedges or arches against the sides so that the weight of the contents above that depth is carried almost entirely on the sides. This condition is illustrated diagrammatically in Fig. 183, the lengths of the arrows roughly indicating the portion of the weight carried to the bottom and to the sides respectively.
