Abstract
The paper deals with global stability of steel cylindrical silos composed of corrugated walls and vertical columns with loads imposed by a bulk solid following Eurocode 1. The optimum silo design with respect to the steel weight was based on a sensitivity analysis method. The corrugated walls were simulated as an equivalent orthotropic shell and vertical thin-walled columns as beam elements. The results were compared with the Eurocode 3 approach and verified by FE results of linear buckling and non-linear analyses with geometric and material non-linearity carried out with the commercial finite element code ABAQUS for a 3D shell model of a perfect silo.
