I am a structural engineer, and I usually have to design ring foundations for storage silos on ground.
Seismic loads specified by silo shell designers usually cross-check well with my rough calculations, however the anchor bolt sizes seem to be too small to the point of assuming that they are there only for erection purposes.
Could someone provide info on how shell designers design the tank for seismic effects.
Also is there any modification made to Jansens or Reimberts equations if silo wall is corrugated?
Thanks. IJR
