- Abstract
Designers of reinforced concrete structures are generally conversant with methods for determining grain pressures and for reinforcing bin walls to withstand them. The practical designer is also familiar with both stationary and sliding form methods of constructing bins, and is capable of determining which scheme is most economical for local conditions. There still remains, however, several points which the experienced designers of grain bins have learned without analysing and which the more inexperienced designers must analyse in order to learn.
