The strength calculation for bulk materials storage

Abstract

Silage bunker, lateral pressure, Kuhlmann’s graphical method, bulk materials, bending moment, symmetry of the load, calculation of strength. The aim of this work is to study issues of identifying the lateral pressure of loose bodies on the walls of bunkers and calculation of internal forces arising from this load. As a result, studies have shown that the presence of a hard core of loose body significantly reduces the amount of sliding wedge, thus reducing the design load. In this work the calculation of the horizontal belt hopper with the use of force in the calculation of statically indeterminate systems is carried out. The result of the studies shows that the presence of the hard core in granular material significantly reduces the amount of sliding wedge, thus reducing the design load.
