Analysis and design of thin-walled cylindrical silo structures in accordance with EN Eurocodes |
Secondary abstract: |
This work is meant to serve as a guidebook for analysis and design of thin-walled, cylindrical, axisymetric metal silos in accordance with EN Eurocode building codes. It consists of three parts. In the first part the important loads on silo structures are considered. An emphasis is given on loads due to the stored solid material, wind and seismic effects. Simple and clear procedures (with step-by-step instructions and flowcharts) for determining pressures acting on the silo are given. Membrane section forces are derived. For loads due to the stored solid material the key expressions are rewritten and plotted in a generalized (dimensionless) form in order to accommodate different silo geometries and different stored solid materials. Some discrepancies of the code are identified and investigated. Load combinations, which are needed for design, are also given. In the second part of the work an example of analysis and design of a silo is presented by using the procedures introduced in the first part. In the third part two computer programs, which were also developed in the scope of this work, are presented. The first program serves to determine the loads on silo walls due to effects of the stored solid material, while the second program serves to determine the wind loading on the silo structure. Both programs are located on the CD attached to this work. English translations of the first and third part are given in appendices. |
