Eurocode 1 — Actions on structures - Part 4: Silos and tanks

Scope

EN 1991-4 provides principles and rules for calculating actions for the structural design of silos and tanks. Silos are used for the storage of particulate solids and tanks for the storage of liquids.

This part includes some provisions for actions on silo and tank structures that are not only associated with the stored solids or liquids (e.g. the effects of thermal differentials) but substantially affected by them.
