Steel Silo Design and Support Types

This document discusses types of steel silos and bunkers that can be directly supported on foundations, elevated on wall skirts or columns from the shell, or supported on steel or concrete structures. It also provides a procedure for calculating tentative wall thickness that involves determining material pressure, lateral pressure, and hoop tension force. Finally, it lists coefficients of friction for common materials stored in silos like wheat, maize, cement, and coal.
