Silo Pressure Profile Estimates |
|
Presented here are estimates of the pressure distribution exerted along the cylinder & cone walls of the main silo by the bulk cement. Though factors contributing to the variation of these pressures are not completely quantifiable or controllable, the present calculations represent a best effort to estimate worst case conditions, based on the worst case locations of the transition between the active & passive (or, peaked & arched) stress fields. |

Silo Geometry (No Partition) & Type 1, Portland Cement Properties: |
|
The bulk material properties for Type 1, Portland Cement are assumed to be the same as those given in the Jenike & Johanson Report. Moisture content = 0.6% and Temperature = 72F. |
