A Brief Review on Bunkers and Silos
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 10
Abstract
The demand for Storage Structures has increased due to increase of population. To provide storage for materials like grains, cereals, coal, cement etc, industries would prefer the structures called as Bins. The Bin can be termed as a Bunker whose diameter is large when compared to its height. Similarly, when the height of the container is larger than its diameter it is termed as a Silo. In recent times the Steel storage structures have replaced by the Reinforced concrete bins because of their simple maintenance and better architectural qualities. As per today’s scenario, industries habitually go for single or multiple compartments of bunkers or silos to store the manufactured materials. The causes of failures of storage structures are due to shortcomings in the following criteria such as failure due to design, construction, usage and maintenance. This study describes a concise review of the bunkers and silos including their stability against failures & causes, and the factors required for economic and effective design.
