Design and Cost Efficiency of Steel Silos and Concrete Silo

Abstract

Silos usually work as storage structures between offer and demand for varied product, and their structural safety has long been of interest to the engineering profession due to seismic effect. This is especially true for dynamically loaded silos, e.g., just in case of seismic excitation. Significantly thin-walled cylindrical silos are extremely susceptible to seismic Iatrogenic pressures which might cause essential buckling phenomena of the silo shell. The analysis of silos may be administered in two, alternative ways. Within the initial, self-Wight, the seismic loading is sculpturesque through statically equivalent loads acting on the shell. As an alternative, a time history analysis could be administered, during which nonlinear phenomena because of the filling as well because the interaction between the shells, and therefore, the granular material is taken under consideration. The paper presents a comparison of an analytical design of steel and concrete comparison. Do all different types of loads which is action on the steel and concrete silo those approaches. The model used for the nonlinear time history analysis considers the granular material by suggests that of thinker granular strain approach for hypoplasticity theory. The interaction effects between the two types of Reaction and the cost comparison of the silos.
