Acceleration coefficients
(road transport)
- Forward cx = 1.0 cx = 0.8 cx = 0.8
- Sliding sideways cy = 0.5 cy = 0.5 cy = 0.5
- Tipping sideways
+ Direct lashings cy = 0.5 (FT=LC) cy = 0.7 (FT=LC) cy = 0.6 (FT=LC)
+ Frictional lashings cy = 0.5 (FT=STF) cy = 0.7 (FT=STF) cy = 0.5 (FT=STF) or
cy = 0.6 (FT=LC/2)
Safety factor in
calculations of frictional
(top over) lashings
- Forward fs = 1.0 fs = 1.0 fs = 1.25
- Sideways and backward fs = 1.0 fs = 1.0 fs = 1.1
