Closure to “<i>Multiple Column Curves by Modifying Factors</i>” by J. Michael Rotter (July, 1982)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Local Collapse of Axially Compressed Pressurized Thin Steel Cylinders
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Cylindrical bins, silos, and tanks are thin shell structures subject to internal pressure from stored materials together with axial compression from the frictional drag of stored materials on the walls and roof loads. The ...
Structural Design of Light‐Gauge Silo Hoppers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Elevated light‐gauge silos usually have a conical discharge hopper at the bottom. Although this hopper often carries much of the total weight of the stored solids within the silo, it can often be cold‐formed from thin steel ...
The New Framework for Shell Buckling Design and the European Shell Buckling Recommendations Fifth Edition
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper outlines key aspects of the new European Standard on the Strength and Stability of Metal Shells EN 1993-1-6 with its extended commentary and expansion in the fifth edition of the ...
Elastic Buckling of Imperfect Cylinders Containing Granular Solids
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Metal silos are subject to both internal pressure and axial compressive stresses in their cylindrical‐shell walls. Their design is often controlled by buckling. The buckling strength is greatly reduced by geometric ...
Behavior of Cylindrical Steel Shells Supported on Local Brackets
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The connection of a local support to an elevated cylindrical metal silo shell is a long-standing difficult problem in shell analysis, and most designs are based on simple ideas using past experiences of successes and ...
Ring Beam Stiffness Criterion for Column-Supported Metal Silos
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Cylindrical metal silos are commonly elevated to provide access space beneath to directly discharge the contained materials into transportation systems. Evenly spaced column supports are commonly utilized. In larger silos, ...
Collapse Behavior and Strength of Steel Silo Transition Junctions. Part II: Parametric Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the results of a major parametric study of the plastic collapse behavior and strength of the complex transition junctions in steel silos using an elastic‐plastic large‐deflection finite element analysis ...
Collapse Behavior and Strength of Steel Silo Transition Junctions. Part I: Collapse Mechanics
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Elevated steel silos commonly consist of a cylindrical shell, a conical hopper, and a skirt. At the intersection of these shell segments, a ring is often provided to sustain the high circumferential compressive stress ...
Strength of Welded Steel Silo Hoppers Under Filling and Flow Pressures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A typical elevated silo consists of a cylinder and a discharge hopper. The hopper in a silo supports the majority of the material stored within the silo, and is subject to biaxial tension. This paper presents the first ...
