Following previous work in which point pressure measurements on isolated low aspect ratio circular structures such as storage bins, silos, and tanks were described, this report describes measurements of wind loads on silos arranged in an in-line group of five. As well as point pressures, area-averaged pressures on wall panels of finite area were carried out using the pneumatic aver- aging technique. At small spacings between silos, the region of positive pressure on the windward side spans a larger angular sector of the circumference than that for an isolated silo. For wind directions near normal to the line of the silos, high negative mean pressures and high r.m.s. pressures occur near the point of shortest distance to the adjacent silos.
Previous papers have described wind tunnel measurements on isolated and grouped storage bins. silos and tanks of circular cross-section. In this paper, distributions of fluctuating and peak pressures on the walls of both isolated and grouped silos are described. They were generated using the techniques of eigenvector analysis of the covariance matrix, and "coincident peak" sampling.
Bringing together the leading European expertise in behaviour and design of silos, this important new book is an essential reference source for all concerned with current problems and developments in silo technology. Silos are used in an enormous range of industries and the handling characteristics of many industrial materials require different approaches for successful, economical installations. For the first time, the many approaches taken by specialists in different fields are brought together in a unified way so that common problems can be addressed. This book is the result of a four-year European project - Concerted Action - Silos - funded under the Brite Euram programme which has involved over 100 expert engineers and researchers from all over Europe, in seven working groups.
Bridging the gap between wind and structural engineering, Wind Loading of Structures is essential reading for practising civil, structural and mechanical engineers, and graduate students of wind engineering, presenting the principles of wind engineering and providing guidance on the successful design of structures for wind loading by gales, hurricanes, typhoons, thunderstorm downdrafts and tornados.
