Cement Silo Design Specifications and Requirements

Cement silo welding method using lap welding, storage body using round plate lap welding, reducing the phenomenon of storage materials hanging on the wall, reducing vertical friction. Steel plate silo wall due to cement-induced temperature difference and moisture, resulting in a decline in physical indicators of the technical barriers, the design of effective control range steel silo ambient temperature of minus 50 ° C to 160 ° C, the cement in the steel silo physical indicators remain unchanged.

In the cement silo joints to join the reinforcement plate or section steel, reducing the stress state of the steel plate in the wall, improving the stress state of the steel plate in the wall. The steel structure is a combined interface, which makes the storage object safer. This kind of structure has strong anti-seismic, anti-deformation and bearing capacity.

1. The number of reinforcing bars on the top of the silo should not be less than 25% of the total number, and the joints of the reinforcing bars should not be on the same horizontal plane.
2. Cement silo wall lap joints, connecting bolt holes, and vertical joints of adjacent upper and lower plates should be staggered. It should be equipped with sealing strip and sealing ring.
3. Equal strength connection should be used to connect vertical stiffening rib nodes. Vertical stiffening rib and warehouse wall connection:Warehouse corrugated steel should be connected by galvanised bolts; spiral flange connection should be used high frequency welding bolts.
4. the length of the upper and lower weld should not be less than 50mm. the external environment should be considered on the corrosion of the steel plate and the grain silo on the wear and tear of the steel plate warehouse wall, and take appropriate measures. Welding marks on the outer surface of the welded warehouse wall must be anticorrosion treatment.
5. The connection between door frame and warehouse wall, door and door frame should be sealed. Entrance door should be set up inside and outside two layers, respectively open to the inside and outside of the steel plate warehouse.
6. Vertical stiffening ribs should be set within the warehouse wall. There should be no horizontal support, ladder and other attached wall devices within the warehouse wall.

Advantages of Modern Cement Silos

1. Seismic Performance: Vertical stiffeners and flexible joints enable resistance to ground motion.
2. Longevity: Properly coated silos last 25–30 years, even in harsh environments.
3. Cost Efficiency: Modular designs reduce construction time and maintenance costs
