Design Pressures in Circular Bins
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 111, Issue 8
Abstract
Design pressures in circular bins, which have been of concern in recent years, are examined. Shallow bin pressures are distinguished from deep bin pressures. Furthermore, deep bin pressures are examined for funnel flow and mass flow conditions. Pressures due to outside temperature variations are examined. Examples and drawings are provided to clarify the principles described herein.
