The new Eurocode standards for designing cement silos (BS EN 1991-4) have a significant impact compared to other codes such as DIN 1055 part 6 or ACI313-18. This is evident in a case study comparing the design of a 14,000m3 raw meal silo using both codes. The Eurocode properly accounts for asymmetric loading during eccentric discharge, increasing pre-stressing needs by 38%, conventional reinforcement by 42%, and overall costs by 20%. It also takes three times longer for design. The Eurocode should be used for new silos to avoid underestimating wall loads.
