Abstract - Shells with various shapes are being studied. B. Elliptical hemispherical, conical, and cylindrical shells. These structures usually fail by spasming with external pressure. Cylindrical steel silos are large, slender structures used to store materials such as cement, grain, flyash, soot, and coal sawdust. Theyare specializedstructures,subject to a variety of unconventional loading conditions ranging from tons tohundredstothousandsof tons,leadingto unusual failure modes. The main purpose of this work is to extend our currentknowledgeof silo strengthand buckling/collapse. In particular, referring to the construction of steel silos on individual supports, itis toprovide practicaland valuable design assistance for the design and construction of futuresilos, andtodevelopnew ones.Investigative aspects for further investigation. In this work, steel silo structures were considered according to literature data and different shear wall curvatures wereapplied. Themethod applied inthiswork is ResponseSpectrumAnalysis,a robustdynamicanalysistool inSTAAD.Pro.The currentstudycompares thelateralanalysis ofsteelsilo structures with differentmodeltypesandprovides the best compared to specific structure types and literaturebased structures.
Containers forstoringbulkmaterialsarecommonlycalled bunkers,bunkers, silos,or tanks.Althoughthereareno generally accepteddefinitionsfor each of these terms, shallowbins such ascoal, coke, ore, crushed stone,and gravelare often called bins or bunkers, andare used to storematerials such as grain andcement. Tall binsare usuallycalledsilos.Inthiswork,siloisagenerictermforall steel structures forstoringbulkmaterials. The steelsiloisprimarilyamuchlighterstructure,canbequickly assembledanddismantled, carriesloadsthrough variousstructural mechanisms,and deforms easilyand reversiblywhensubjectedtounbalancedloads.Andunlike concretesilos,theloadonthefoundationisless.Steelsilos arethereforewidely used forshort-termand long-term storage of largeamountsof bulkmaterialsandare increasingly beingbuilt in recent years in many industriessuch asmining, chemical, power generation,

Industrialbuildingsaregenerallydesignedasenclosures that provide functional space for internal activities that involvetheuseofoverheadcranesandoverheadequipment. Variousformsofconstructionhavebeendevelopedoverthe last 30 years to optimize the cost of steel construction in relation to the space provided. Moreover, their design is highlystandardizedaroundtheworld,whichposesadifficult probleminthecontextofindustrialriskassessmentsrelated to external hazards such as earthquakes and wind. Their dynamic response is non-trivial given the associated susceptibilitytoinfluenceearthquakedamage.Bulkmaterial storage is therefore an important aspect in any industrial building.

Analysisofalltypesofstructuresanddiscussionofallresults led to the following conclusions. A structure using earthquake-resistantwalls.
• From this work there is good agreement between the responsespectrumanalysisperformedtodeterminethesite shearwalleffectontheseismicbehaviorofthebuildingand thebehaviorofthestructure.
•Itisalsoconcludedthatsteelsilostructureswithincreased plate thickness also have reduced displacements from all structure types considered in this work, but from an economic point of view the cost increases with increased platethickness.Iwas.
•Inthisstudy,wealsofoundthatthefrequencygeneration of the structure was lower in Shear Wall A type for 6 differentmodes.
• For a 100 tonne capacity steel silo design, 10mm wall thickness and 3mm ring reinforcement, the design under consideration provides a significant increase in design stability,butShearwall-Adoesnotconformtothespecified type and literature. Provides more reliable performance comparedtoThemainadvantageofsteelsiloconstruction compared to concrete silo is that steel silo is cheaper comparedtoconcretesiloconstruction,solesstimeandcost comparedtoconcretesiloconstructionduetothedamage causedduringconstruction.canbere-installedwith
