“…Therefore, it is evident that the inexistent development of standards dealing with the design of silos in our country by the Brazilian Association of Standards and Techniques-ABNT is not just one of the problems, also, there is still a great gap left by companies that produce silos in Brazil, which are mostly foreign and, for marketing reasons, suppress the methods used to the design of their structures during investigations. Like all other engineering structures, the starting point for structural analysis in the design of silos is the determination of the actions acting during the life cycle of the structure, which can be classified as permanent, variable, and exceptional (Tascón, 2017;Mehretehran & Maleki, 2018). Due to the diversity of combinations of actions to which these structures can be submitted (Jansseune et al, 2015), there are different failure modes, resulting in environmental damage, economic impacts, and, in some cases, claiming lives (Colonnello & Kramár, 2018).…”
