Steel Silo Design

Some details in the early design stage can determine the overall quality of the steel silo. Reasonable design work can guarantee a long service life for the steel silo. Preparations Before Designing Designers need to do a series of preparations before they start designing a steel silo. First, they need to learn where the customer is going to use the steel silo ( are they going to use it for storage, or for transportation, or in a production line? ) and what are they going to store. So they can select correct auxiliary equipment for the silo, and create a detail storage solution. Second, they need to go to the silo project location to observe the site environment, learn the local geological conditions and annual weather data. It is necessary to strictly survey the proposed site for the steel silo in order to obtain reliable and actual data of the soil density and its bearing capacity. The designers need to fully calculate the load that the steel silo is subjected to when its...
