Abstract: Conservative Design MethodLateral pressures up to four times the static values should be considered in certain regions of silos.It has been suggested that these high overpressures are associated with fundamental flow patterns, and in particular with the pipe feed zone.The authors suggest that a simple conservative estimate of pressures can be furnished by the pressure distribution shown in Fig. 23(b).It consists of three linear portions; the junctions are assumed to be at the boundaries of the pipe feed zone.These points must be chosen by the engineer from experience and evidence as discussed in reference [11].An overpressure ratio of at least four is recommended at the junctions of the linear portions.
