Abstract
The objective of the present work is to perform a technical and economic analysis of the adoption of shell as a structural solution for the foundation of industrial vertical silo. Initially projected in a rigid and flat slab, the foundations of a vertical silo were optimized by numerical computational modeling through a parallel Finite Element Method code, adopting shell in the form of reversed cone. It will be shown that a significant reduction of structural concrete of steel was obtained with the optimization of the silo foundations, and by this way, economy in the execution of the structure. © 2009 WIT Press.
