Grain Bin Foundation
Grain Bin Foundation
(OP)
Does anyone know of any links/design helps/industry standards on how to design a foundation for a grain bin?
The owner wants to basically pour a floading slab with a thickened edge?
The bin would be 30 foot in diameter & hold 18,000 bushels @ 60 lbs/bushel = 1080 kips over a 31 diameter concrete pad.
Thanks!
