Bringing together the leading European expertise in behaviour and design of silos, this important new book is an essential reference source for all concerned with current problems and developments in silo technology. Silos are used in an enormous range of industries and the handling characteristics of many industrial materials require different approaches for successful, economical installations. For the first time, the many approaches taken by specialists in different fields are brought together in a unified way so that common problems can be addressed. This book is the result of a four-year European project - Concerted Action - Silos - funded under the Brite Euram programme which has involved over 100 expert engineers and researchers from all over Europe, in seven working groups.

This book is the definitive guide to the simple, safe and economic design of circular metal storage silos. Commissioned by the British Materials Handling Board, and written by the convenor of the committee responsible for the new Eurocode on the structural design of silos, it provides advice on all aspects of silo design and assessment. As well as providing guidance for the successful implementation of the new Eurocode, this Guide for the Economic Design of Circular Metal Silos brings together the latest research and provides extensive background information. At this time of great change in the industry it is an invaluable aid, giving additional explanations and advice to designers using the new regulatory standards. This Guide for the Economic Design of Circular Metal Silos is essential reading for structural designers, manufacturers and owners of solids storage facilities worldwide.

This comprehensive and unique work considers the various aspects involved in the behaviour of bulk storage structures. It is the accumulation of over 30 years of study, experiments and field measurements by the author, covering design, examination and evaluation of bulk storage structures. The subjects treated in this volume range from design, through operational behaviour, to failure and its prevention. The following areas are considered: theories of stresses and strains in particulate materials; material testing and evaluation for the prediction of a structure's loads and behaviour; methods for calculating loads and safety assessment; comparisons of field measurements with theoretical predictions; effects of non-ideal behaviour of stored materials; use of silo-related theories in geotechnical applications; measuring strains, deformations and pressure in operating structures; and case histories of silo problems, their causes and solutions. This title is highly valuable in informing professional engineers and researchers working in the fields of design, examination and evaluation of silos and bulk storage structures.

This book bridges the gap between academic and professional field pertaining to design of industrial reinforced cement concrete and steel structures. It covers pertinent topics on contracts, specifications, soil survey and design criteria to clarify objectives of the design work. Further, it gives out guiding procedures on how to proceed with the construction in phases at site, negotiating changes in equipment and design development. Safety, quality and economic requirements of design are explained with reference to global codes. Latest methods of analysis, design and use of advanced construction materials have been illustrated along with a brief on analysis software and drafting tool.
