Grain Silo Structural Analysis
(OP)
Looking for guidance on checking the structural integrity of existing steel and concrete empty/abandoned grain silo structures for proposed wind loads (antennas).
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

Thankyou
RE: Grain Silo Structural Analysis
Could you post those references. I have been looking for silo design books.

I simply did a search for books and found the following:
of course ACI 313
"Design of steel bins for storage of bulk solids", Gaylord and Gaylord
"Circular storage tanks and silos", Ghali
"Design and construction of silos and bunkers", Safarian & Harris
RE: Grain Silo Structural Analysis
"Useful Information on the Design of Steel Bins and Silos" is available from Steel Plate Fabricators Association www.spfa.org for $25. Very useful and inexpensive.

RMPE,
Does "Design and construction of silos and bunkers", Safarian & Harris, contain design information on concrete stave silos.

Thanks for the reference. I am trying to find it locally.
redhead,
The only thing I can find is the "Structural engineers' handbook; data for the design and construction of steel bridges and buildings..." Is this the "bible" you referred too.
Thanks again.
