The mat foundation shown below will support four grain silos. These are cylindrical structures used to store grain. Each of the silos has an empty weight of 29 MN, and can hold up to 110 MN of grain. The mat has a weight of 60 MN. Since each silo is filled independently, the resultant load imposed on the mat does not necessarily act through the centroid. Evaluate the various loading conditions and determine whether eccentric loading requirements will be met? If these requirements are not met, determine the minimum mat dimensions, B & L, needed to satisfy these requirements? L = 50 m 12 m 12 m B = 50 m Plan Mat foundation (B x L) Elevation + +
