This book brings together contributions from some of the leading researchers and practising engineers in the field of silos and containment structures, and is derived from a specially invited colloquium on the subject. As well as case studies, it includes reviews dealing with safety and risk in design and operation of these structures.
Introduction. Containment structures - an overview. Challenges for the future in the design of bulk solids storage. Silos: evolution by failure. Silo loads - numerical results. A concept for the classification of steel containments due to safety considerations. Storage of cement and cementitious materials. Criteria for storage systems for hazardous substances. Containment of nuclear material - the perspective of the structural engineer. Underground nuclear waste containments. Will containment practice make perfect? Recent improvements in the safety and reliability of above-ground LNG storage. Containment of explosions and fires. The BP harding field-gravity base tank oil storage facility. Key word index.
