Key Design Considerations for Steel Silo Projects

图片
  Steel silos are critical storage infrastructure for industrial, mining, and agricultural operations, used to safely store bulk materials such as coal, cement, grains, and ores. Unlike ordinary storage structures, steel silo projects require rigorous design planning to ensure structural stability, material storage safety, operational efficiency, and long-term durability—especially since they bear heavy loads, face harsh industrial environments, and need to adapt to different bulk material properties. For project contractors, facility managers, and design teams, mastering the key design considerations of steel silo projects is essential to avoid design flaws, reduce construction and maintenance costs, and ensure the silo meets operational needs. Below, we break down the core design considerations for steel silo projects, focusing on practicality and industrial applicability, tailored to the characteristics of steel structures and bulk material storage. 1.

Nodal treatment of roof waterproof construction for large-span buildings

 

1, Deformation joints: large-span building roof due to temperature changes, structural deformation and other factors will produce deformation joints. The waterproof construction at the deformation joints should be able to adapt to the deformation of the roof. General use of flexible waterproof construction, such as in the deformation joints filled with polystyrene foam and other thermal insulation materials, and then paste the waterproofing roll-roofing material on both sides, the coil should be used in the empty pavement method or point bonding method, leaving enough space for expansion and contraction, and then in the coil surface to install a metal or plastic cover, to play a protective and decorative role.

2, Light windows and roof junction processing: in some large-span building roof will be set on the light windows, this part is the key node of waterproofing. First of all, we must ensure that the light window and roof structure is firmly connected, and then at the junction of the sealant sealing, sealant should be continuous, full. At the same time, you can lay waterproofing roll-roofing additional layer around the light window, additional layer should be turned upward to a certain height, covering the light window's frame, to prevent rainwater leakage from the interface.

3, Roof entrances and exits: roof entrances and exits of waterproofing to consider the frequency of people in and out of the damage that may be brought. In the entrance and exit around the installation of water barrier, the height is generally 150 - 200mm, using concrete or metal materials. In the water barrier and roof junction and the top of the entrance, to do a good job of waterproofing membrane paving and sealing treatment, such as the use of coil up and bonded with the wall in a solid manner, to ensure that rainwater will not enter the roof from the entrance.
