Static Analysis of Coal Bunker

The project titled "Static Analysis of a Coal Bunker" aims to investigate and analyze the structural behavior and stability of a coal bunker under various loading conditions. The objective is to ensure the safe and efficient storage of coal while considering factors such as the bunker's dimensions, material properties, and loading scenarios. The study begins with a comprehensive literature review on the static analysis of bunkers, including relevant research papers, design guidelines, and industry practices. This review serves as a foundation for understanding the key considerations and methodologies employed in analyzing bunkers. The project utilizes finite element analysis (FEA) as the primary analytical tool to simulate the behavior of the coal bunker. A three-dimensional model of the bunker is created, incorporating accurate geometric details and material properties. The model is subjected to different loading conditions, including empty, half-loaded, and fully loaded scenarios, to evaluate the structural response..
