ALL CONTAINERS SHALL BE SIMILAR SIZE, WEIGHT AND CONSTRUCTION. The following is from my Project Notes for a container project I did. RE: Shipping Container - Roof Capacity TLHS (Structural) One would think that it's a standard profile and minimum thickness, but I can't even find documentation that indicates that. It seems a little weird, though, that I'd have to direct them to go that route. I'm not seeing anything in the way of generalized guidance, which would mean that I'm going to have to ask for capacity calcs or something similar based off the measured corrugations and thicknesses. Has anyone seen a design guide or literature about this? I don't think there's a problem, but I also want to make sure I can evaluate that the design engineer does check the boxes on it. My issue is roof capacity under high snow loads. ![]() The new-ish ICC/IBC guidelines on shipping container design make all the questions of lateral capacity pretty straightforward now, for small applications. I'm acting more as a specifying engineer in this case. Ah the joys of someone on an industrial project deciding that they should just jam a process into a shipping container.
