The review article investigated failure, design issues, repair and strengthening of reinforced
concrete (RC) silos, primarily in agricultural set-ups. The durability of RC structures was …

For the shallow and circular silo (SCS), when the aspect ratio is between 1.0 and 1.5, the
lateral pressure especially dynamic pressure may cause destruction if the size of the silo is …

This paper investigates the effects of different silo height-to-diameter ratios, different storage
categories and different site soil categories on the seismic performance of column-bearing …

To predict the seismic response of column‐supported silos (CSSs), the granular–structure
interaction (GSI) analysis method is proposed with considering the combined effect of the …

A 3D finite element model (FEM) for predicting the distribution of lateral pressure in a square
flexible walled steel silo during the filling phase was analyzed in this study. The numerical …

The principal stress cap approach has been used to model stresses in square hoppers,
based upon an orthogonal grid upon a spherical surface sector, bounded by “great circles” …

This study proposes a modification for the current design approach for square and
rectangular silos that accounts for silos' wall flexibility. First, the authors investigated the …

The automation and continuous operation of coal production are fundamental to the
construction of high-yielding and efficient mines. Underground coal bunkers, serving as the …

Hoppers are frequently used in steel silos, especially in farm facilities and food industries.
These structures occasionally have an oblique hopper with an eccentric outlet to improve …

This study proposes a modification for the current design approach for rectangular silos that
accounts of silos' wall flexibility. First, the authors investigated the effect of wall stiffness …
