This study investigated the theoretical lateral design pressures, vertical frictional forces and
bending stresses exerted by shelled corn on a wall configuration made of folded steel plates. Silo walls panels
with trapezoidal corrugations were considered. Lateral design pressures and vertical frictional forces were
calculated by using Janssen’s equations for pressures in deep bins and bending stresses exerted by ensiled
corn were calculated by using principle of engineering mechanics. Inclined sections of corrugations with 135º
from the horizontal plane had the highest lateral design pressures and vertical frictional forces. Corrugations
with tie bars had significantly lower bending stresses than the corrugations without tie bars. Using the results
of this theoretical work, further studies can be performed for a complete silo model with a roof structure and
a hopper bottom and wind forces and the shear stresses can be added to the model. This may give a better
interpretation of the theoretical results on real models.
