Silo cross bracing
They are one of the most important structural components of cone bottom silos
Cross bracing is used to improve the strength and stability of the silo against horizontal forces caused by earthquakes and wind in cone bottom silos.Cross braces are one of the most critical components of cone bottom silos that are used to make a connection between stiffeners (bases), and they are applied for bearing lateral loads to prevent twisting, bending, and cutting of stiffeners.The braces are cross-shaped in the silos of the Tajhizavaran company. As the diameter, height, and volume of the silos increase, the number and materials used in the braces also change after conducting the relevant calculations.
