ABSTRACT
The paper deals with buckling of cylindrical metal silos with corrugated sheets and columns. Attention was paid to local buckling of cold-formed open-sectional thin-walled columns in metal cylindrical silos with corrugated sheets. The effect of the column profile dimension, silo diameter, corrugated wall thickness, column number/distance, corrugation height was investigated in detail. Three-dimensional linear buckling analyses were performed for silos using the finite element method. Numerical results were compared with the analytical formulas of Eurocode 3.
