THE INFLUENCE OF VERTICAL STIFFENERS ON THE STIFF CHARACTERISTICS OF SILO CAPACITIES FOR GRAIN STORAGE
The paper deals with the behavior of cylindrical steel capacity under the load with different number of vertical stiffeners. It was studied both short constructions with the clamp in all points and relatively tall constructions with the clamp in only supporting points of ribs. Quantities of radial deflections was compared for capacities made from flat and shaped sheets of different thickness. It was shown that deflections of capacities will be bigger than capacities without ribs under axially symmetric load and small quantity of ribs.
