Summary

In this paper, the seismic analysis and design of a new silo in Zurich has been investigated. It will be the heaviest and second tallest structure in Zurich. In order to increase the capacity of an existing silo, the height of the existing silo will be increased from 42 meters to 118 meters and the total weight of the silo (old plus new) will be 80,000 tons. The major challenge in the design and analysis of this building is due to its construction near a river. Further, with the total height of 118 meters, this structure shall be the second tallest building in Zurich, which sets a national landmark. The major part of the silo weight shall be transformed to the bedrock via forty-nine piles with a length of 40 meters each.

Response of the superstructure and the foundation has been evaluated using advanced three dimensional finite element models, including more than 3,000,000 elements. It should be mentioned that the underlying soft soil conditions, pile-soil-pile interactions, make the analysis of the building a major challenge.
