Presentation: Silo Production

Join us for an in-depth session led by Dennis Blauser.

The presentation explores the critical aspects of silo design and construction, with a focus on understanding various silo flow patterns, including funnel flow, mass flow, fluidized flow, and expanded flow. It highlights the importance of avoiding asymmetric flow, which can lead to structural and operational issues.

The discussion includes comparisons between construction methods, particularly concrete versus steel silos, and examines the critical design considerations for both silos and stacking tubes. Special attention is given to challenges associated with storing fly ash and other industrial by-products.

Additionally, the session reviews the ACI 313 design code and outlines the key differences between industrial and grain silo design. Guidance is provided on how to effectively approach a new silo construction project, including pitfalls to avoid and best practices for scheduling design and construction activities.
