SIMULATION AND ANALYSIS OF RECTANGULAR WALL OF GROUND ELEVATED STEEL BUNKER WITH TRANSVERSE SHEAR DUE TO WIND LOAD

Abstract

Bunker are tall structures used for store the different types of materials like Portland cement, different granular materials, carbon black, coal, sawdust etc. They are subjected to many different static and dynamic loading. It is very difficult to determine the magnitude and distribution of stresses and their corresponding failure modes. The design and analysis of a hopper for pea collection in a boiler plant is carried out. The hopper collects the pea blown from the boiler soot blowers. The objective is to establish the design load. The design load is decided on the basis of two cases. The first case is hopper full of pea case and second one is hopper full of water. Based on the two cases the maximum pressure is considered as the design load. Also the Hopper has a static head of gas pressure. A typical Hopper is taken and the thickness of the plate is decided. Then a procedure is developed for the spacing and size of the stiffeners. The stiffeners used are wide flange I-beams. The hopper is modeled using ANSYS finite element software and the stresses obtained are compared with analytical work with finite element modeling.
