IS code 4995 Design of Silo

Design of cercular Silo of following parameters

Diameter D Meter
Height H Meter
Bulk Density KN/SQM
Angle of Internal friction Ø 25 °

The silo is designed for symmitrical discharge it is assumed that size of the particle less than or
equal to 0.06 mm As per IS Code 4995

For Filling

Angle of wall friction ( Filling) δf= 1Ø

= 1x25
= 25

For Emptiying

Angle of wall friction ( Filling) δe= 1Ø

= 1x25
= 25

Pressure Ratio Filling ʎf 0.5 from page 10

Pressure Ratio Emptiying ʎe 0.7
