The article presents the analysis of complex stress states in the concrete structure of grain silos, caused by non-centric emptying.The authors present a combination of loads from the pressure of bulk solid on the silo chamber according to Eurocode 1, Part usssa pro m softballs 4 [11], which should be taken into account when emptying on large eccentricities in action assessment class 3 (AAC3) silos.For the example of a cylindrical wheat silo with a height of 25 m and a diameter of 10 m, the researchers carried out an analysis regarding the impact of the size of the eccentric discharge outlet on the distributions of forces and bending moments plastic molcajete bowls in a reinforced concrete wall.
