—Looking to the fast speed of development that is to be taken care of by professional engineers and
globalization of professional services to be concentrated, it becomes important to appraise them in the area of design for
industrial structures, which has a wide spectrum to be dealt with.Silo is one of the storage structure which is required for
industrial plants to store various kinds of materials such as cement, coal, grains, etc. Hence it is necessary to judge
regarding the design procedures for such structures, which includes the study of codal provisions leading to analysis and
design along with detailing of the same. There are many silo developed in India for storage of cement which may be
temporally or permanently. But now a day there are required space and economic design of large size silo.The present
study is the step in the direction to give important technical information, illustrating the theoretical background and
codal provisions along with detail design procedure with various h/d ratio of silo for same capacity of storage and use of
staad-pro software for the analysis and design of various components of circular silo and give economical design of silo.
