The document provides calculations to determine the stress on dunnage blocks used to support pipes in a cargo hold. It includes details of the dunnage block dimensions and materials. The load from pipes above and self-weight is calculated. Stress on individual dunnage planks is then determined from the load distribution and plank properties. Buckling of planks under compressive loads is also analyzed. The results indicate the flexural and compressive stresses on dunnage planks and blocks are within allowable limits.
