Comprehensive static and dynamic 3D stability finite element analyses of a cylindrical steel silo composed of corrugated sheets and open thin-walled vertical stiffener profiles were carried out by taking the geometric and material non-linearity into account. The silowas subjected to axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric loads imposed by a bulk solid following Eurocode 1. Theoretical and measured initial geometric imperfections were considered in calculations. The results of nonlinear analyses were compared to those according to Eurocode 3. Modifications of the Eurocode formulae were proposed. Some recommendations for the silo engineering design were elaborated.
