Abstract

This paper presents a comparison study of lateral analysis of Reinforced Concrete and Steel Silo. The silos are mostly used in agriculture and industries. They carries normal pressures and axial compressive loads due to stored materials together with the self weight of the super structure. It also carries lateral loads due to w ind or seismic forces. A finite elemental software describes the analysis an d a study was conducted to compare the behaviour of Reinforced Concrete and Steel silo. From the analysis it was o bserved that Reinforced Concrete are more useful th an Steel silo in industries. Deformations are found to be critical m ore for Steel silo at the middle portion of the structure than the concrete silo. Non Linear time history analysis were conducted and it shows that steel silo have more displacement and stress than concrete silo. A graph was drawn representing the behaviour of Reinforced Concrete and Steel silo structures with various thickness.
