Abstract

Large diameter storage silos, cooling towers and storage tanks are now being built to a size at which they are highly sensitive to buckling failure enhanced by imperfections of the overall structure or details, or asymmetry of load. While failure to appreciate these phenomenon has led to a crop of failures the basis for design in terms of loading and strength is becoming available in British and Australian literature. This paper reviews the developments for very large steel silos with a particular emphasis on wind behaviour.
