Abstract
This thesis treats the design of a pair of bunkers,
each having a capacity of 200 tons of maize, using the
British code of practice CP 110 and the B.S. Cp 3 chapter
five for loading (to compute wind load). As a guide to
practical considerations some notes are given on such
factors as filling and emptying procedures, minimum angle
of hopper slope and so forth which should be of benefit
to those who are meeting the subject for the first time,
Elements of a bunker are classified in the same way
as elements of other structures; they have been fully
analysed and designs have been carried out accordingly.
It should be emphasised that treatment of those
things that make bunkers a peculiar kind of structure
have been done but in no way exhaustive. Further
research in future may reveal this,
Acomparative cost analysis has been included for
bunkers in steel and reinforced concrete to back up the
choice of the use of reinforced concrete bunkers for small
and medium sized installations.
Conclusion and recommendations have been drawn and
all authorities consulted have been acknowledged in the
