Imagine driving a panicking large herd of animals into these pens - where would you see a need for reinforcing the structure to withstand the force of a whole herd pressing against it?
- EliRivers 9y agoPresumably I want the animals to live; if the herd is generating so much force at the edges - force transmitted through the animal touching that edge - that I need 30 feet thick walls to prevent the walls being pushed through, the animals at those edges will now be turned into a paste.
