Q1 / Design the circular RC silo with a
diameter of 8m and a height of 40m shown in
Fig. The silo can store 40000 kN. The stored
material is wheat with a density of 9.5 kN/m3.
The coefficient of friction between the wall
and the stored material is 0.45. The ratio
between the horizontal and the vertical
pressure intensity is 0.44. Angle of repose is
30o. Thickness of wall is 200 mm. cd for hopper
is 1.35, f'c is 30 MPa and fy is 420 Mpa. explain
the reinforcement details.

Q2 / Design using STM: Design the corbel shown in Fig below, that
projected from a 350x300 mm column. It carries 175 kN dead load and
200 kN live load. The height of corbel is 500 mm with 460 mm effective
depth, a/d is 0.55, width is 300mm of corbel, f'c is 30 MPa and fy is 420
Mpa. The width of bearing plate is 120mm.
