The article discusses issues related with storage of granular materials in silos made of corrugated sheets and reinforced with vertical ribs.

Alternative methods are indicated to determine the silo stability using analytical and FEM based methods. General conclusions are formulated with respect to designing of silos made of corrugated sheets.
