Engineering Office Statika OK Construction Period 09/2016 - 10/2016 The bicameral silo with a diameter of 3.2 m is used for cement bulk storage in concrete mixing plant. The capacity of the steel silo is 2 x 50 m 3 . The structure consists of the internal bulkhead dividing the silo into 2 parts, 2 conical outlets and 4 filling openings. The main challenge of the modelling was the complicated geometry, the Eurocode defined load acting on silos, it is always laborious to assemble the nonlinear stability and plastic analysis. All of the difficulties were overcome using SCIA Engineer software, the especially great advantage is the very fast solver enabling us to perform geometrical and material nonlinear analysis with the dense finite element mesh relatively quickly. The graphical outputs give fast orientation in the results of every type of the analysis used. Engineering Report streamlines the creation of great documentation. Bicameral Silo - Niemegk, Germany Statika OK Contact Jan Blažík Address V Parku 181/6 736 01 Havířov, Czech Republic STATIKA OK, ing. Jan Blažík is a design and engineering company founded in 1992. From the early beginnings the company focused on the common steel structures of any type, with the specialization of the technological ones – complicated bins, silos, tanks, hoppers and similar constructions for bulk storage and handling, petrochemical and gas industries.
