Books by Manning, Ketchum and, Faber and Mead were useful for their pressures calculations and structural design. International Codes of Practice on silo Design, like DIN (1964) and ACI (1977) were introduced subsequently. But they were satisfactory when silo sizes were small; about 12m dia. maximum. These were based on semi-empirical approaches for pressures calculation. Due to this limitation, structural and functional failures of \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSilos\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e happened sporadically.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e During 1985, Safarian and Haris published their excellent voluminous treatise on \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSilos\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e design and construction. Their book includes provisions of International codes of Practice at that time from Germany, USA, France, Soviet Union and suggestions from many international practicing Design Engineers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Subsequently, some of the International codes were revised based on the latest findings of research and practical observation results. With the introduction of the Euro Code on \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSilos\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, other Codes were revised. This book gives recommendations of these codes; viz. DIN, Euro and others codes \u0026amp; highlights the limitations of these codes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The main uncertain issue had been the computation of material pressures on silo walls and their bottom structures. Starting with historical developments of \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSilos\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e since 1770s, this Book covers up to their causes of failures and the remedial measures. Silo strengthening measures are also mentioned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Worked out examples of material pressures computations as per the current Codes of practice are included to help proper understanding of the principles of calculation of pressures and structural design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e It is expected that this Book would be very useful as a guide to young Engineers interested in the design of \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSilos\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e structures and will serve as a reference to Practicing Engineers.
