- Q102 - Deck General Part II
215. The deck load capacity of a compartment into which you intend to load a cargo of soft brick is 380 lbs. per sq. ft. The stowage factor of the brick is 21.3. Disregarding broken stowage, what is the maximum height the brick may be stacked without endangering the structure?
The maximum safe stack height is determined by dividing the allowable deck load capacity by the weight density of the brick, calculated from the stowage factor. This yields a height of 3.6 feet, ensuring the deck load does not exceed the structural limit.
