Coal Silo

Greetings Sandeep,

The silo size you are thinking about is a vary large size. you should contact a civil and mechanical engineer for this rather than asking how one should design it due to the inherent problems with coal of any type.

A stacking tube is not like a silo. Its a concrete hollow tube with windows in alternating directions. When it is filled with material the material flows out through the windows and makes a huge tall stockpile around the tube. There is a reclain tunnel below the tube into which the material is pushed using a showel.
