In case of critical packing conditions, products having special physical characteristics shall be anchored with suitable blocking
devices.
7.2

LOAD, OVERLOAD COMBINATION

The loads "c" and "d" do not act concurrently with the overloads "e" and "f" and "g" and vice versa.
Load "f" shall be taken into account for cover sheathing dimensioning (boards and plywood).
For the dimensioning of the other members of the cover, load "a" shall be used, and overload "e" concurrently.
For the dimensioning of sides overload "g" shall be used together and load "a" concurrently.
For the dimensioning of sides overload "g" shall be used together and load "a" concurrently.
The thrusts of "c" and "d" shall be useful for the dimensioning of all the structures involved in horizontal thrusts.
For the dimensioning of the longitudinal beams, the max allowable stress of timber shall be determined, the section is obtained
according to the mass and asset of the contents, the width of the container and the dimensions between the forking centers or
the rope strapping points.

CONTENT ANCHORING.

The contents shall be anchored only to the base (bottom) without any contribution from the sides, head and cover with anchor
bolts, bolts and studs to fix and avoid a longitudinal, transversal or tilting movement. The locking and connecting elements shall
be constantly controlled. Therefore, the weight of the material and the related overload, due to the accelerations act on the base
only.
The cases may be used for the following:
- Support the load for which they shall have a sufficiently rigid base to bear their own idle weight of the packed unit without any
contribution from the latter.
- Simply form a supporting base and to protect the packed equipment provided that the latter has an adequate degree of stiffness
and self-bearing capacity without any sort of external contribution.
The packed load in this case, may be supported by means of a solid anchoring, as follows:
- The floor (which already has a bearing feature).
- The load bearing members.
The packed goods are directly or indirectly supported by the base members. Usually the load distribution and the basic support
of the packed unit will not rest directly and evenly on the on the side skids but require auxiliary members.
These are structural elements that are added whenever necessary-to the main supporting skids to obtain either or both of the
following conditions:
- To facilitate the anchoring of the goods to be packed when their base is not directly resting on the skids by means of the
construction of saddles or supporting structures reserved for this specific purpose.
- To extend load distribution by eliminating any sort of concentrated loads.

CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS

9.1

WOOD

Wood used for the construction of packing structures shall be solid and integral, well seasoned, featuring a humidity rate that
shall not exceed the limit of 20% and an absence of faults that may affect its resistance.
- Nodes: Crossing nodes with a diameter greater than 40 mm or > 1/3 of the width of the panel is not accepted.
- Cracks: Accepted up to a length of 200 mm or once the width of the panel.
- Chamfers: Accepted up to less than 1/5 of the width or length or equal to 1/3 of the thickness.
9.2

DIMENSIONS FOR USE

Scrap is not admitted for the composition of members whose dimensions are commercially available. The dimensions of the
components that are greater than those that are commercially foreseen can be built by connecting two or more elements but the
following characteristics shall be respected:
- The connections are limited to a minimum number.
- The connections shall be located on load bearing units in order to assure the fixing of the same support to the two external
faces if a connection that features both continuity and resistance cannot be employed.
- The contact of the points of connection shall be continuous.
The longitudinal beams shall feature when required the compliance with the contents of constructing criteria.
All the load bearing elements shall not be connected if necessary the solution shall be decided for each single case.
The connections carried out on the plywood partition panels cannot lean on load bearing elements.
If so, the element shall be reinforced by a connection cover measuring the same thickness of the lining and a minimum width of
100 mm fixed to the internal side by saddles.
The longitudinal connection of the timber used to obtain the cover shall match the load bearing and the transversal panels that
are reinforced with a connection cover between the two panels.
All the aforementioned shall be applied if special covers that guarantee the continuity are not adopted.

The skids shall be arranged in a parallel position with respect to the longitudinal axis of the boxes so that the external skids lay
along the edges of the box.
Maximum skid spacing shall be less or equal to 90 cm. (Figure 1).
The skids shall be levelled at 45 at each end to facilitate rope threading.
The header joists shall be perpendicular to the skids (Table 5).
The skids shall be connected to the header joists by means of the bolts with unscrewing/self-locking fitting.
The bolt head shall be levelled with the lower face of the skid in order not to hinder rope sliding.
For the header joists, the dimensions of the cross section are illustrated by Table 4.
The base load bearing members shall be fastened according to the prescriptions of Table 7.
11.2

MULTILAYER SKIDS

The use of the multilayer skids is allowed for cases and crates with length of over 8 m and skids measuring more than 150 mm.
Each single layer shall feature a thickness of over 50 mm and its components and elements shall have a minimum length of
3000 mm.
Connection between elements is obtained by nailing together the first two layers to obtain the base element to which the other
layers (one by one) are subsequently nailed to each other until the required section is obtained. The layers are installed in a
vertical position and shall also be odd in number.
The junctions shall be staggered in such a way so that no more than one is employed for each cross section of the beam.
The staggering pitch and nailing shall be studied aiming at the maximum rate of flexional resistance of the beam.
The connection at each end of the beam is to be reinforced with bolts set with the head on the outer side of the box and flushed
with the beam.

LOAD BEARING MEMBERS

The pack goods are directly or indirectly supported by the base members.
Usually, the load distribution and the basic support of the packed unit will not be resting directly and evenly on the side skids but
require auxiliary members.
These are structural elements that are added whenever necessary to the main supporting skids to obtain either or both of the
following conditions:
- To facilitate anchoring of the goods to be packed when their base is not directly resting on the skids.
- To extend the load distribution by eliminating any concentrated loads.
If deemed advisable, the auxiliary load bearing members can also consist of steel plates directly secured to the skids by means
of through-bolts.
The aforementioned shall be located to permit the fastening of the equipment to be packed, with the aid of through-bolts.
Positioning and dimensioning of the transverse load bearing members are determined by the Packer, if necessary with the
assistance of the manufacturer of the equipment.
Fastening modalities of such a load bearings are listed in Table 7.
DCS reserves the right to approve the drawing before the implementation.
If the load is entirely borne with the skids without resting on the floor, the lumbers shall have the thickness as illustrated by Table
6.
Generally, it should be observed that the overall weight of the walls and roof is not contributing to the flexure of the skids since
the latter have less flexural rigidity than the walls.
Positioning and possible anchoring of the box to the means of transport shall take into account that-with respect to the lateral
thrust due to horizontal acceleration:
- The base beam dimensioning is referred to vertically acting forces established for lifting, which can not coincide with the
horizontal locking ones.

WALL FRAMEWORK

The wall framework - for both cases and crates-shall be protected to support the overloads acting on the roof, the horizontal
thrusts and its own weight in order to prevent the deformation of the container.
The diagonals, if foreseen, shall be firmly fitted at the ends so as to properly discharge the thrusts, Figure 5 illustrate side
components and headers while Table 9 list the minimum sections to be employed.

SHEATHING OF SIDES AND HEADS

Case sheathing: Made by multilayer panels or other wood based panels (Table 5).
Should the parts be made of panels, neither diagonal struts nor tar paper will be provided.
