Abstract
A supported floor of a grain storage and/or drying bin is disclosed that is constructed in part of conventional progressively interlocking asymmetrical floor panels and in part of either a single hat-shaped symmetrical panel, a single C-shaped symmetrical panel or a combination of these latter panels. Methods of assembling such floors are also disclosed including methods of assembly from the transverse center line of the base of the bin with the use of a centrally located hat-shaped panel or a C-shaped between two hat-shaped panels. C-shaped panels are included whenever access to the plenum is desired. In all such assemblies, asymmetrical conventional panels are used.
