Simulation on Strengthening of a Cement Fresh Material Silo

Abstract:

For the lack of concrete strength, the outer wall of a cement fresh material silo cracking. Then the cracking structure members have been strengthened with externally bonded steel plates. The finite analysis software ABAQUS has been used to simulate the reinforced silo and the structural analysis software MORGAIN has been used to calculate the reinforcements in this paper. The simulation results show that, the bearing capacity of the silo has been improved with this strengthening method effectively. On the other hand it could be referenced to solve the problems of similar projects.
