| In this study, 85 silo models with varying sheet thicknesses and support elements were created for grain storage. The silo dimensions were fixed at a diameter of 4.77 meters and a height of 10.5 meters (excluding the roof) by using 1500× 3000 mm steel sheets without cutting. The main goal of this study is to optimize the silos to reduce costs by minimizing the amount of structural material, which constitutes a significant portion of the overall cost of steel silos. St44 structural steel was chosen as the material for its weldability, machinability, and cost-effectiveness. To enhance the stability of the silo and minimize potential structural issues, NPU and flat bar support elements were incorporated into the design. The structural analyses of the silo models were carried out using ANSYS finite element software. In the analyses performed with ANSYS, the total deformation, strain, and stress values under static loading conditions were calculated for each silo model. Additionally, the total weight of each design was evaluated. By comparing the data obtained from these analyses, the optimal silo design that offers the best performance and cost balance was determined. It was found that the overall weight could be reduced by 58% by using sufficient support elements without increasing the thickness of the steel sheets during manufacturing. This finding significantly reduces material costs during production and offers an economical solution while maintaining structural performance. |
