Silo is a crucial component of the ethanol plant. Silos are structures to store bulk material. Silos are utilized in agriculture to store grain or fermented feed called silage. Silos are more frequently used to store bulk food items, grain, and other products. These silos are currently in use: tower silos, bags silos, bunker silos, and silage piles. One advantage of silos in towers is that hay tends to be packed well because of its weight, except within the top few feet.
Storage silos are cylindrical buildings typically between 10 and Ninety feet (3 to 27 meters) in diameter and 30 to 275 feet (10 to 90 meters) in height.
Civil Construction of these huge silos plays an important role. Foundation for Silos is perfect when silo foundation designs are made per the specification. Construction companies’ biggest challenges can be handled with proper design and planning of projects.
There are many costs and problems that are observed in the foundation of silos.

The most prominent are:
• In the waterlogged ground, foundations should not be more than a foot below the surface soil. Excavating waterlogged ground is costly and time-consuming. ·
• Particularly for stiffened rafts, it is important to avoid costly and complex shuttering designs. Building ability is essential. ·
• Many improvements to soil mechanics and ground treatment have led to a reduction in piling costs. These changes have significantly impacted the economics and validity of many standard solutions. You need to review the construction methods and costs continuously.
• Sulfate attack on concrete and ground movements from frost-heave, shrinkable or clays, and other effects on foundations are all possible. new Construction, rerouting heavy traffic, and installation of plants in adjacent factories that are causing vibration and impact.
• Designers need more awareness of the assumptions that are made when designing, the variability of ground conditions, and the sometimes inapplicability of refined soil analyses.
• Critical assessment is required to determine the reliability of the soil investigations.
• The effect of Construction on ground properties (i.e. Vibrations from piling, deterioration due to excavation in adverse weather, removal of overburden, and seasonal variation in the water table. Compaction by construction plant.
• Effect of foundation’s shape and rigidity, and need for settlement joints and movement.
• For clients who require quick returns on capital, fast and expensive Construction might be more cost-effective than low-cost, but slower Construction.
• The impact of new foundation loading upon existing structures.
We at Nirman Engineers Associates have expertise in civil foundations for massive and heavy loads. We have made the foundation for holding Molasse (whose specific gravity is: 1.47-1.48 ) for___tons load. This requires _____meter diameter and _____radius to store 10000 liters of Molasse.
