Program 02
The square bin, where the corner carries the load.

SquareForge designs modular square bins: the corrugated or smooth wall panels, the hopper bottom, and the corner columns and structure that hold the square form against the grain. It is built for the bolted, panelized construction these bins use.

A square bin has no hoop to carry the grain pressure, so the wall bends and the corners take the load. SquareForge designs the panels for that bending and sizes the W-shape corner columns that carry the wall pressure down to the hopper and foundation.

02What it checks
01

Lateral grain pressure on the flat wall panels.

02

Panel bending and the bolted seams between modules.

03

W-shape corner columns carrying the wall load.

04

Hopper bottom and the transition to the columns.

05

Wind, seismic, and anchorage on the full bin.
