These barges are primarily designed for use on lakes and rivers, although they can sometimes be towed out to sea, as long as they are moved through relatively calm waters and across short distances.

The hopper barge has no source of power. These barges are moved by tugs and other craft that push and pull them where they are needed. Barges in general tend to be slow moving and cumbersome because they are designed in the way most efficient for cargo , not for speed. Other boaters need to be careful around barges as they lack maneuverability and can get into accidents.

From this child's arm matter was taken and transferred to that of J. Barge, a boy of seven years old. Each machine has but just sufficient powder in its hopper to run until a new supply can reach it.

One day, Kari and Kopee and I went to the river bank to help pull a big barge up the river. The rope almost broke and the barge swayed in the water, almost toppled, and then drifted to its previous position. The aim of this thesis is to develop a method to determine the workability limits of split hopper barges in irregular seas.

For this workability of the barge, the design limits of the hinges and hydraulic cylinders are assumed to be governing. A quasi-static model is formulated to determine the effects of roll, different types of cargo, opening the barge and discharging the cargo on the forces in the hinges and cylinders.

The results of the quasi-static model are a set of governing load cases for the split hopper barge. From the quasi-static model, it is found that the forces of interest are the largest for a closed split hopper barge and that either a solid or a liquid cargo will yield the governing load case.
