it can't hold very much weight
The weight of the barge plus cargo will equal the weight of the water it displaces. If the barge sinks to a depth of 4' then the volume of barge under water is 4 x 25 x 100 = 10,000 cf. This will also be the volume of water displaced. Water weighs 62.4 lbs per cf so 10,000 cf weighs 624000 lbs. This will be the cargo weight plus the weight of the barge. No way to separate the two weights, but the barge weight is probably a small portion of the total.
20 times its weight in liquid
There is effectively no limit to the amount of weight that aluminum can hold, if you use enough aluminum.
A triangle is a shape. How much weight a triangularly shaped object could hold would depend on the nature of the object.
A barge can be pretty handy for tough loads.
The forces are BIG Farts. The air is just so strong. People love the smell of it. They love to sniff the air like a wolf so much. And the activies that are carried are... SHITING! -Shandi.

The Barge mission in Quantum of Solace require stealth skills. Vesper must defending while making a break for the Barge. You must clear the barge and drop down into the cargo hold.
Assuming that your barge weight was 500 long tons, lightship, and by 18 feet deep, you meant from the keel to the deck, you could theoretically load the barge with 8,439 metric tons, which would completely lower your deck to the waterline. If you wanted a draft of 9 feet then you could load 3,976 metric tons.
Any barge which displaces more than one ton of water (and allowing for appropriate freeboard) will safely carry a one ton weight.
Need to know how much weight and what type of scrap metal (steel, copper, etc.) in order to provide correct answer
Not that many. Barges work way better for bulk cargo. a typical barge is 35x195
150,000 metric ton
