The structural analysis of the 3D model was performed by Dietz Würtele Ingenieure, a customer of Dlubal Software.
Structure
The substructure is 85 ft high and has axis dimensions of 59 ft × 39 ft. The columns are constructed on a floor slab made of reinforced concrete, which is built upon large bored piles. The mixing unit and all the machinery are housed in the substructure.
The silo grating is located at +85 ft. 36 silos (6 x 6) are placed on it. Each silo row is located on a cantilever, oriented to the north and south.
The construction is reinforced in all directions by wall bracings. The horizontal planes with a standard distance of about 13 - 16 ft are reinforced horizontally with bracings or welded floor panels to reduce the effective lengths of the columns.
The dry mixing plant has a total altitude of about 164 ft.
