Analysis and Design of Steel Silo using STAAD.ProV8i

Abstract

Generally silo is a storage structure for heavy bulk materials such as cement coal, wood, food products and saw dust. Its design involves materials, geometry, and structural considerations. This research considered a special structure steel silo treated with myriad conventional and unconventional loading conditions, varied from some tonnes to many of tonnes which findings in uncommon modes of failure. Silo Specifications of 14m height and 3m diameter was designed with section ISMB 300 and ISA 70x70x10mm as per Indian standards. In addition, the plan and section of the silo wad done by the AutoCADD 2018 software. modelling, dynamic analysis and designs were completer in STAAD PRO V8i.Besides, the silo was designed as per Indian standards IS 800.The maximum axial force and shear force of the steel silo were 15.9 KN and 0.037 KN respectively. The aim of this paper was to determined the Plate stress, contour lines, and critical support of the silo, beam end force summary and steel take off of the silo structure.
