Abstract
Special reinforced concrete structures using has become common in several industries. RC silos, storage, and maintenance of fine grains in industrial units that are a complicated structure in designing could be obvious illustrations. Therefore, getting the optimal design with the required strength is one of the most important issues should be considered in this type of structure. In this study, by reviewing six different FEM based simulated models for designing a rectangular concrete silo under static loading, we have tried to show a numerical study on an optimum geometry plan for silos bearing extreme asymmetrical loads. The dimensions indicated in the same range for all specimens and with a clear algorithm; In the final stage, all of the results have been compared and examined. Reviews provide some results that can be helpful in planning a silo structure with the same condition by designers. The optimal design model will provide an ultimate design, which is optimistic and economic as well.
