Silos are big steel or plastic tanks for storing bulk materials.
CENTINO designs and does structural analyses of the following silos:
- class AAC1 – up to 100 tons,
- class AAC2 – from 100 to 1 000 tons.
All calculations and projects are based on European Standards and consider many actions on silos, e.g. explosions or wind and snow loads. They arecalculated according to the following European standards:
- EN 1991-4 Eurocode 1 - Actions on structures - Part 4: Silos and tanks
- EN 1993-4-1 Eurocode 3 - Design of steel structures - Part 4-1: Silos
- EN 1991-1-4 Eurocode 1 - Actions on structures - Part 1-4: General actions - Wind actions
- EN 1991-1-3 Eurocode 1 - Actions on structures - Part 1-3: General actions - Snow loads
- EN 1990 Eurocode - Basis of structural design
- EN 1991-1-1 Eurocode 1 - Actions on structures - Part 1-1: General actions - Densities, self-weight, imposed loads for buildings
