GRAIN SILO OF SUPERIOR RESISTANCE TO WIND AND DEFORMATION PRESSURES

摘要

The invention improvements provide for cylindrical metallic silos made of corrugated steel sheets and conical covering, with superior resistance to wind pressure and to structural deformations. These effects result from a structural device placed preferentially externally to the body of the silo in the range of height 0.9 <= z/H <= 1.0, also comprising metallic U profiles that compose the stringers placed externally to the body of the silo on which they are embodied, attaching to the body or walls of the silo. These stringers as well conform the top of the structure by way of funnelling, beginning at transition area.
