    This document provides steps for designing steel bunkers and silos. It outlines calculating vertical and horizontal forces, bursting forces, and pressure distributions on walls. It then describes sizing structural members like trough plates, stiffeners, vertical plates, and girders based on bending moment calculations and stress checks. An example problem is given to design a rectangular bunker for storing maize.
