Abstract

It is widely held that the occurrence of structural failure and distress of silos is much more common than other man-made structures (on a basis of per thousand structures per year). Such cases arrive on the doorstep of The Wolfson Centre with alarming regularity, for investigation. In this paper, case studies will be used to illustrate various common and less-common causes of failure and distress that have been investigated. Conclusions will be drawn about improvements in practice that could be implemented to reduce the likelihood of such failures occurring.
