Dimensionamento de um silo metálico com fundo plano para armazenamento de soja

Abstract

This work presents contente about metallic silos, which are structures constructed in steel and destined to the storage of grains. It consists of a compact study on the behavior of these structures when loaded with grain actions and with wind actions. Based on national and foreign standards that are most used by designers, an model silo with flat bottom is choosed for the modeling. This model silo has a maximum load capacity of 1490 tons of soybean, and is located in the region of Pato Branco-PR, information used to selec the correct wind actions. For these combinations of actions, there was a critical case, and for that result, a sizing calculation was made, the requesting efforts of components like plates and bolts are dimensioned for the silo body, and materials are selected to meet those efforts. Structural dimensioning software, called RFEM, version released for students was used in the framework amounts.
