22 Specifications [10] This bin is designed along guidelines which allow it to provide the owner years of service provided it is not used for purposes for which it was not intended. The sidewall gage specifications for your bin appear on the sidewall sheet layout tables on pages 30-31. The general material specifications for your bin are as follows. BIN WALLS All wall sheets are of corrugated, galvanized steel with 2.66 [67.56 mm] corrugation. Wall sheets have 0.90 oz. [275 g/m 2 ] per square foot zinc coating (G-90 designation). 2.66 corrugation sheets have 32 [812.8 mm] vertical coverage. Horizontal coverage of wall sheets is 112-1/2 [2857.5 mm]. All light gage sidewall sheets have hill and valley bolting on vertical seams. Heavy gage sheets have valley only bolting on vertical seams. All 5/16 and 3/8 bin bolts are electro-galvanized grade 8.2 with self-sealing injection molded washers. DOORS On 2.66 corrugated bins, a single 32 [813 mm] door is standard on all sizes and a (2) ring 64 [1626 mm] walk door is available as an option on most diameters. Further details on both doors are found in the door installation pages of this manual, on pages 32-43. The standard location for a 2.66 bin 32 door is in the second ring from the bottom, and the standard location for the 64 door is in the second and third ring from the bottom. All 64 doors have (3) inner panels and an outer door cover. All 32 doors have (2) inner panels and an outer door cover. For allowable door placements see the tables on pages 32-33. (1) ring doors are placed in the second sidewall ring from the bottom. (2) ring doors are placed in the second and third sidewall rings from the bottom. On 24 [7.36 m] diameter and smaller 2.66 corrugated bins, a (2) ring door with auger panel opening is available. An auger shield is required at extra cost. All welds are of non-rusting silicone bronze.

2 Specifications DESIGN CRITERIA Bins are designed to store free-fl owing, noncorrosive whole grains with a bulk density of 48 lbs/ft 3 [768.5 kg/m 3 ] (60 lbs/bushel) or less. Bins are designed to be fi lled through the center roof opening only, and to be emptied from the center. Any off-center loadings should be used only for clean-out after discharge has been complete to the angle of repose. Sectional sweep augers with sections no longer than half the radius must be used on the 42 [12.8 m] diameter and larger bins. The center section should be completely cleaned out before the next auger section is added. Have your builder make all non-bin equipment in excess of company s recommendations, like LEGS, WALK-WAYS, SPOUTING and CONVEYORS self supporting. 11 WARNING! DO NOT OVERFILL THE BIN ROOF AREA! Overfilling the bin roof area prevents proper air movement through roof vents and may also cause roof damage or failure! You must furnish the adequate ventilation area to match the Cubic Foot per Minute output of the aeration fan installed on your bin. A rule of thumb would be, no more than 1000 Cubic Feet per Minute [30m 3 /min] per 1 Square Foot [0.093m 2 ] vent opening. WARNING! When you run your aeration fans, make certain your VENTS ARE OPEN and kept clean of all debris and frozen matter. An aeration system can, without proper management, create a greater load on a roof than equipment or snow and can damage the roof. WARNING! Installation of accessories or equipment in or on a grain bin that would overstress the structure in any manner will void the Warranty. If you do not have specific recommendations from Mfs/York/Stormor, where additional loading is involved. Please contact Mfs/York/Stormor Engineering Department before installing any such appurtenances or equipment.

2 Specifications BOLT IDENTIFICATION AND TORQUE VALUES Bolt Size Approximate Torque Required g. 8.2 5/16 grade 8.2 25 ft-lbs, 33 Nm, 3.4 kgf-m 3/8 grade 8.2 44 ft-lbs, 59 Nm, 6.6 kgf-m 14 Have your contractor demonstrate that he/she is giving you the correct torque. Approximate torque levels for the fasteners that bolt your bin together are listed here. For all these bearing type sidewall sheet connections, a snug tight condition is sufficient to ensure structural soundness, where snug-tight is defi ned as the tightness attained by several impacts on an impact wrench, or the full effort of a worker with an ordinary spud wrench that brings the connected sheets into firm contact. A properly tightened bolt must have its seal washer fully seated in the hole and the sheets fully drawn together to produce a water-tight seal. WARNING! ALWAYS LOAD OR UNLOAD THE BIN FROM THE CENTER! This creates an even load on the structure. Only use your intermediate sumps for clean-up. Off-center loading and unloading creates excessive STRESSES and can cause failure. All bins should be filled at the center of the peak ring with an auger or spout of adequate length to allow grain to drop straight down into the bin. A leveling device is strongly recommended. CHECK DELIVERY Your bin has been carefully checked before shipment. However, you should check your shipment upon arrival using the provided Packing List to insure it is complete. CAUTION: All galvanized steel is subject to oxidation, sometimes called white rust when exposed to moisture from any source. Plenty of care should be taken to protect sidewall sheets and roof sheets. INSIDE STORAGE IS ADVISABLE. When on the job site, sheets should be place on edge far enough apart to let air to circulate freely. WARNING! Don t cut openings in bins! This reduces the structural strength of the unit and can cause partial or complete failure.

33 Concrete / Site Location BIN SITE LOCATION Check your site locations for possible problems with the following: 1 High wind or Snow load area 4 Local codes/permits 7 Railroads 2 Waterways and run off 5 Power lines 8 Seismic load 3 Poor soil conditions/soil problems 6 Highways 9 Hopper Bins [15] CHOOSING A BIN SITE Consideration should be given to convenience in loading and unloading and accessibility to existing and planned facilities. The site should be level, on firm soil, with adequate drainage. Any fill used in leveling the site MUST BE well compacted to prevent uneven settling from weight of the foundation, bin and contents. After the site is completely level, use 1 to 2 [25mm - 50mm] of fill sand to act as a cushion under the concrete slab. Standard foundation drawings and specs are furnished by MFS/YORK/STORMOR showing soil bearing pressures required. It is the obligation of the purchaser to obtain a soil bearing test and ascertain that the foundation has sufficient strength for a capacity filled bin. Unless the fi nished foundation is level and true, and the site properly graded for water drainage, failure of the foundation could result. This is not covered by the MFS/YORK/STORMOR warranty. At the time your soil is being compacted and the foundation is being poured, make certain that the work is being done in exact accordance with your soil engineer s specifications. Remember - if your soil isn t right, your foundation could TIP AND CRACK - if your foundation isn t right, your bin could fail. The foundation drawings on the following pages are intended as a guide only and are not to be interpreted as firm instruction. If at a later date, the bin is increased in height, the foundation may not be adequate. Anchor bolts should be to specifi cations and be set when pouring the foundation as improper anchoring will give you a WEAK structure. The bin is ROUND and to keep it round, the anchor bolts should follow a SCRIBED CIRCLE with the correct chord dimensions between the anchor bolts. The base ring of the bin must rest firmly on the foundation with absolutely no overhang. Instructions 1. Lay out the foundation by driving a small pipe to mark the center of the pad. The top of the pipe should be the height of the foundation. 2. Using the pipe for a center pivot, you can use a chain with a sharp stake attached to the outer end to scribe on the ground the foundation diameter. (A board may be used instead of the chain.) 3. After pouring the concrete, and while it is still soft, locate your anchor bolts. Use the center pipe and chain again to mark the correct diameter to set the anchor bolts. Use a measured chain (or chord) to get the correct spacing between holes.

FOUNDATION NOTES: 3 Concrete / Site Location 1. The foundation site should be well drained and free of vegetation and/or debris. 2. Foundation(s) should be on undisturbed soil or engineered compacted backfi ll. 3. A soil and foundation (Geotechnical) investigation should be conducted for each site to confi rm the soil bearing capacity. 4. Foundation Design is based on the specifi ed allowable soil bearing capacity. 5. The concrete shall have a minimum compressive strength of 3,000 psi at 28 days. a 6. Concrete should be allowed to cure 7 days before starting tank assembly and 28 days before fi lling the bin. 7. Concrete should be kept level to ±1/8 in 10 and 1/2 across the diameter. b High spots or debris should be removed before setting the bin. 8. Anchor bolts need to be properly located based on the information provided in order to keep the tank round, and to ensure structural integrity of the bin while guaranteeing effective transfer of wall forces down to the foundation. Minimum recommended cast-in-place anchors for standard conditions shall be A307 9 x 3 hooked bolts of the required diameter: 3/4 for Commercial Flat-Bottom Bins (1 required for 60 and larger bins with a side draw) and Commercial Hopper Tanks, 5/8 for Unstiffened Grain Bins, and 1/2 for Unstiffened Hopper Bins. The hook of the bolt must be placed below horizontal rebar for proper transfer of forces. Alternately, a hex-head bolt with fl at washers or an epoxy adhesive anchor of equivalent strength may be used. Check with epoxy anchor vendor or manufacturer for strength ratings and for proper installation instructions. 9. All reinforcing rod for concrete reinforcement shall conform to ASTM A615, Grade 60. 10. Rebar should lap a distance equal to (Rebar Dia. x 24). Minimum allowable lap is 18 - i.e: #6 Rebar has a diameter of 6/8 : 24 x.75 = 18, or an 18 lap. c 11. Estimates for Rebar do NOT include allowances for the lap. 12. The stiffener and sidewall must be supported over tunnels. 13. Concrete yardage figures do NOT include any allowances for aeration trenches or tunnels. 14. Ring reinforcement must be continuous around the tunnels. 15. To help minimize potential frost heave, the bottom of the footings should be at or below the frost line. Alternately, the footings could be supported on non-expansive fill materials (such as crushed stone or gravel) which are not susceptible to frost heave, extending below the frost line; however, some local building codes do require the footing to extend below the frost line. 16. Foundation Design is based on an allowable soil bearing capacity of 3,000 psf for unstiffened Grain Bins and 3,500 psf for Commercial Stiffened Bins. d 17. The foundation details in this manual are to be considered general in nature and are intended only as a guide. This design is for standard external loading conditions: 90 mph wind speeds and seismic zone 0 earthquake loads. It is the owner s responsibility to provide an appropriate site and foundation design for the adequate support of the grain bin. MFS/YORK/STORMOR assumes no responsibility for results arising from these suggestions. Check with the MFS engineering department to obtain contact information for foundation design and soil testing professionals. 19 a [The concrete shall have a compressive strength of 20.67 MPa at 28 days] b [Concrete should be kept level to ±3 mm in 3000 mm and 12 mm across the diameter] c [Minimum allowable lap is 450 mm - i.e: #6 Rebar has a diameter of 19 mm: 24 x 19 mm = 450 mm, or a 450 mm lap.] d [Found. design is based on an allowable soil bearing capacity of 143.64 kpa for unstiffened grain bins and 167.6 kpa for stiffened bins.]

55 Sidewall Assembly GENERAL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 1 Plan for the location of the door, bin ladders, roof steps, manway, fans, unload auger, accessories, and other equipment. 2 Complete the foundation. See the foundation section in the front part of the manual. 3 Arrange the sidewall sheets near the pad in preparation for assembly. 4 Assemble the top ring of sidewall sheets, making certain that sidewall sheets overlap in the same direction. 5 Install the eave ring or (and) eave clips. Raise the peak ring to the correct height on the center support (center jack) and assemble the roof. 6 Continue by raising the bin and installing additional sidewall sheet rings making certain that sidewall sheets overlap in the same direction. 7 If your bin is equipped with them, install sidewall ladders or spiral stairs in the proper location as the sidewall is being built. 8 Install the door in the second ring from the bottom (1 ring door) or second and third ring from the bottom (2 ring door). 9 Install the bin hold down brackets to the base of the bottom sidewall sheets. Install the base angle around the entire bin, applying the (optional) base sealer at the same time if the bin comes with it. Lower the bin over the anchor bolts and securely fasten it to the anchors. 10 If your bin comes equipped with a fl oor, build the fl oor using the manual included with your floor bundle. 11 Install any bin optional equipment. 12 Make certain all connections are tight.

Please familiarize yourself with this manual before starting construction!

5 Sidewall Assembly Typical Sidewall Assembly, Build Ring 1 26 IMPORTANT! Follow the steps below throughout the entire sidewall construction! TYPICAL INSTRUCTIONS 1 All sidewall sheets are color coded for ease of construction. During installation, position the sidewall sheets so that the color codes are on the bottom. 2 See the sidewall sheet layout tables on pages 30-31 for sidewall sheet gage and placement. 3 Always overlap the sidewall sheets in the same direction as shown (example b, page 27). 4 Use (1) row of sealer tape at all vertical seams and horizontally for 6-12 [152mm - 305mm] from the end of each sheet (example a). Wipe sheets clean before applying the tape. 5 Bolt sidewall sheets together with the bolt head and seal washer to the outside of the bin and the nut to the inside. Torque should be applied to nut rather than the bolt head to avoid damaging the seal washer. At anchor hold down bracket locations, the bolt direction is as indicated in the examples on pages 49-53. 6 Stagger the sheets as shown in example d on page 27 so the vertical sheet seams will align with the centers of the sheets in the ring above. 7 At horizontal seams, bolt lower sheets to the inside of upper sheets (example a). 8 (15-36 bins only) The top sidewall ring is punched differently. It is punched for the roof. 1 set out sheets, then build the top ring Sort the sidewall sheets by gage according to the color code and sidewall layout tables (pages 30-31). Stand the sidewall sheets on edge in the order in which they will be used on the bin pad near the location where the sidewall will be built. Read and follow the directions on this page and the next page when building the sidewall. a sidewall sheet Sealer Tape at Sidewall Seams (dashed line indicates tape on other side of sheet) no sealer tape needed here sealer tape inside of bin Horizontal Sheet Seams outside of bin 5/16 or 3/8 bin bolt w/seal washer (see the bolting info on page 21) outside of bin upper sidewall sheet inside of bin no sealer tape needed here sealer tape (all vertical seams and 6-12 [152mm - 305mm] from the end of each sheet) (50 [15.2m] roll - 018008) 5/16 or 3/8 hex nut lower sidewall sheet SEALER TAPE ILLUSTRATION & HORIZONTAL SHEET SEAMS
