Maximum Allowable Stress for OS is 28,000 psi. If no stiffeners are added, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> calculated stress is much greater than maximum<br />

allowable stress. As a result, stiffeners must still be added <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> be less than <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> maximum allowable stress (even with less ballast<br />

added and based off design load using maximum head of water).<br />
