The article highlights the features of calculating the expansion forces of bulk cargo acting on the wagon body during its transportation by the sea. When determining the expansion forces of bulk cargo, it is proposed to consider the dynamic load, which also affects its value in conditions of side sway. As an example, an application of this method to an open wagon loaded by coal during its transportation through the Black Sea is given. An algorithm for considering the forces of bulk cargo pushing against the walls of an open wagon body during sea transportation is proposed. %@ 2083-6473 %R 10.12716/1001.19.04.32
