Abstract


Thermal loads cause important increases in the pressures exerted by granular material stored in silos. The Eurocode 1, part 4, establishes their importance, but it does not propose any calculation method that allows their quantification. In this work the authors try to overcome this difficulty analyzing and comparing different classic methods of calculation of thermal loads and models developed by the authors using the Finite Element Method.
