Description
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.
