The cylinder height is 5.7 m, cone height is 1.3 m. The bin is supported on the three anchoring points. On the cone, two holes for the exit of the material are designed. The main challenge of the modelling was the complicated geometry, the Eurocode defined load acting on silos is always laborious to assemble. All 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 results provide a fast insight into the response of the structure for every type of analysis used. The Engineering Report simplifies and speeds up preparation of the project documentation.

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.
