Discretely Supported Thin-Walled Steel Silo Shells: Advanced Buckling Design and Modelling Aspects

摘要

This paper deals with the exemplary application of alternative buckling design procedures, as introduced by the new European Standards, to a practical thin-walled steel silo structure. First the general features of these design procedures as well as relevant issues of structural modelling are outlined. Then the outcomes of the different buckling design procedures are compared to each other and critically evaluated.
