3. Foundation Requirements

Foundation Requirements for Top Dry Bins (4.00" Top Dry
Bin Corrugation)

Requirements

The following foundation recommendations are a revision to earlier manuals distributed by the GSI Group.

NOTE: There are changes in founda tion dimensions from past publications. These dimensions are critical

to the proper installation and function of each foundation.

Selecting the Proper Site

The selected site should be level, firm and free from underlying debris. The bin can be installed
satisfactorily on slopes, but as the slope increases, additional labor and materials are required for the
foundation. The concrete foundation surface must be level. If some fill is required, it should be watered
and tamped thoroughly to prevent uneven settling from the weight of th e bin. Naturally, the site must allow
convenient access for easy loading and unloading, plus provide additional space for future units. Also
consider the positioning of handling equipment, availability of electricity and the placement of fans,
heaters, and gas tanks.

Scribe the Diameter

Having determined the center of the site, drive a small 2 x 4 in the ground to mark the center point of the
foundation. The top of the stake should be the same height as the finished foundation will be. Using one
large spike, nail a straight 2 x 4 (approximately 2' longer than the radius of the bin) to the top of the center
spike. The swiveling 2 x 4 will act as a compass, enabling you to scribe the correct diameter of the
foundation and later locate the anchor and stiffener bolt locations. (NOTE: Making the 2 x 4 2' longer than
the radius allow the 2 x 4 to also be used as a leveling device and for pulling concrete.) (See Figure 3A.)

Figure 3A

PNEG-1276 Top Dry Autoflow Construction Manual 24', 30' and 36' 9

3. Foundation Requirements

Foundation Requirements for Top Dry Bins (4.00" Top Dry
Bin Corrugation) (Continued)

Prepare the Foundation Forms

Having scribed the diameter of the foundation, proceed by digging the foundation’s footing. This consists
of a large circular trench dug inside the foundation line, (Refer to foundation details for necessary
information). Once the footing has been dug, you are ready to build the forms. It is important that the forms
be rigid enough to hold its shape against the poured concrete. Also, the foundation must be flat. Sloped
floors cannot be used in drying bins. A carpenter’s level placed on top of the compass 2 x 4 will enable
you to set the top of the forms to match the top of the center stake. Check the form work with a transit
to ensure a uniform elevation for the entire foundation. The foundation should be level within 1/8" on
non-stiffened tanks and 1/4" on stiffened tanks at bin wall perimeter. Stiffened tanks must be shimmed
level. (See Figure 3B.)

Figure 3B

All foundation specifications shall be construed as recommendations only. Because of the many variable
conditions in actual installation, the GSI Group, assumes no liability for results arising from the use of such
recommendations.

Alternate Foundation Forms

There are two (2) styles of foundation forms commonly used. The first is the circular form shown in

Figure 3B. The second style of foundation can be made of 2" x 8" boards set into a square with the

corners blocked off to form an octagon. This eight sided form will approximate a circle and can also be
constructed easily.

Second Style of Foundation

Figure 3C

Place the Reinforcement

Once the forms and trench have been prepared, begin the placement of reinforcement rods at various
levels in the foundation’s footing. See the appropriate charts and drawings for the bin to determine
requirements and positions of the reinforcement. The reinforcement rods offer their greatest strength
when lapped properly and connected by wiring or welding. Next, place a minimum of 2" of co mpacted sand
on the inside section of the foundation to provide a good base for the concrete and protect against rodents.
The sand should then be covered with four (4) mil polyethylene plastic which will act as a moisture barrier.
Two (2) layers of 6 x 6 wire mesh should then be added to the entire area of the foundation to complete
the preparation of the bins foundation. (See Figure 3C.)

PNEG-1276 Top Dry Autoflow Construction Manual 24', 30' and 36' 11

3. Foundation Requirements

Inline Centrifugal Fan Pad

Placement of the Fan Pad: GSI Transitions/Fans only.

If a fan is to be installed, refer to Figure 3D to determine the concrete pad size.

1. The top of this pad should be level with the top of the bin’s foundation.

2. Recommended pad thickness is 4" minimum.

3. Front of pad should be perpendicular to bin wall.

4. Pad for heater not required.

IMPORTANT: Fan pad and fan must be leveled an d smooth for proper operation. Vibration problems can

result from improper fan leveling.

3. Foundation Requirements

Duct and Drying Fan Pad Optional

Placement of the Duct Fan Pad: GSI Top Dry Duct System only.

Refer to Figure 3E to determine the duct pad size.

1. The top of this pad should be level with the top of the bin’s foundation.

2. Recommended pad thickness is 4" minimum.

3. Front of pad should be perpendicular to bin wall.

Figure 3E

PNEG-1276 Top Dry Autoflow Construction Manual 24', 30' and 36' 13

3. Foundation Requirements

Anchor Bolt Placement

Having poured and leveled the concrete, use the center stake and straight 2 x 4 again to find the bolt circle
radius for the outside hold-down brackets. Select a starting point and stretch a pre-measure d chord along
the imaginary circle formed by the bolt circle radius. Take into consideration the placement of these bolts
so as not to interfere with the positions of bin doors and transitions. (Refer to below chart for necessary
radius and chord lengths.) Take the time and work carefully since accuracy is important.

NOTE: Top edge of slab where the bin wall sets must be held to within 1/8" of level.

Bin Diameter “B” Bolt Circle Radius # of Anchors “E” Chord Distance

24' 12' - 2-7/8" 16 4' - 9-5/16"

Frost Free Pad (Top Dry Bins)

NOTES:

1. Foundation site should be well drained and free of vegetation or debris.

2. Foundation design is based on a minimum soil bearing capacity of 3000 PSI. If soil bearing capacity

is in doubt, contact a local soil testing engineer.

3. Concrete shall have a minimum compressive strength of 3000 PSI at 28 days.

4. Requirements for reinforcement do not include overlap.

5. Lap all circumferential bars 35 bar diameters and stagger all laps in plan 3'-0".

6. All material used for backfill inside the ring wall should be clean, well graded, crushed stone of

sand-gravel mixture. Backfill should be placed at 6" lifts and well compacted.

7. The optional #4 rebar grid can be substituted for the wire mesh in most cases. Place the #4 bars in
the pad in an 18" x 18" grid.

5. Sidewall Construction

Sidewall Erection Instructions

Before bolting the sidewall sheets together, check that you have the proper gauge steel for the first ring.
The higher gauge numbers denote the thinner materials. (For example, 22 gauge material is thinner than
14 gauge.) In erecting most grain bins the thinnest material usually goes on top, therefore the first sid ewall
ring you assemble will be the top ring of the bin. Check the various gauges of the bin with the color code

chart and begin building accordingly REMEMBER.....Assemble the top ring first.

Once you have selected the proper gauge material, begin assembling all sidewall sheets in the following
manner: Standing on the inside the bin, place the left panel to the inside with the right panel to the outside.

(See Figure 5A.) Check to see that the sidewall sheet is “Right side up”.

Sidewall Erection Instructions (Continued)

After assembling the second ring, lift the top ring sheets in place, add top stiffeners, build the Top Dry
floor, then the roof.

NOTE: The sidewall sheets used for the top ring are punched to accommodate the eave flashing bolts.
NOTE: The fan entrance sheet and access door are located in the second ring. Attach the top stiffeners,

leaving out the seven (7) bolts indicated in Figure 5B at each stiffener location. Insta ll the flashing
bolts from the outside and tighten first nut on the inside of the bin.

Figure 5B

Caulking Detail

NOTE: The rope caulking is installed before each sheet is assembled. Apply rope caulking between the

last vertical row of bolts and edge of outside sheet. There is sufficient caulking for all vertical seams
on storage and drying bins. Wipe sheet clean where caulking is to be applied. (See Figure 5C.)

Caulking Detail (Continued)

Using correct size bin bolts throughout, begin assembling sidewall sheets end to end (overlapping the
same way throughout) until the ring is completed. All body sheet bolts are to be installed with the bolt head
and its neoprene washer to the outside and the nut on the inside. Do n ot tighten bolts u ntil all sh eets are
assembled and form a complete ring. Attach lifting brackets to stiffener bolt holes. These straps, coupled
to the jacks will enable you to later elevate the bin. Now tighten the bolts in sequence, starting from the
center and working to the edge in both directions. This permits the sidewall sheets to draw-up evenly.
Complete one-ring and stop. You are now ready to assemble the roof. Refer to the roof erection manual
for roof assembly instructions located in roof hardware box.

Lifting Jacks and Brackets

NOTE: The number of lifting jacks required is best determined by personal experience. Factors such as

bin size, soil compaction, wind velocity, jack design, etc., are all to be considered when deciding
how many to use. If in doubt, use one jack on every other stiffener. GSI recommends heavy duty
jacks rated at 6000 lbs. or more. (See Figure 5D.)

WARNING

The number of lifting jacks required is best determined by personal experience.
Factors such as bin size, soil compaction, wind velocity, jack design, etc., are all to
be considered when deciding how many to use. If in doubt, use one jack on every
vertical seam. Be sure to use heavy duty jacks for commercial installation.

Lifting Jack Usage

Give some thought before starting the bin on location of door and other accessories. Proper placement of
lifting jacks in relationship to anchor bolts could make a difference on odd or even ring bins. Walk-through
door is centered between two (2) stiffener anchor bolts. The sidewall sheets are also staggered 1/2" from
end to end.

Figure 5E

Lifting brackets should be attached to the stiffeners. Normally you will need to attach to at least four (4)
bolts per stiffener. Anchor all jacks securely with metal stakes and cable. Now raise the bin just high
enough to assemble the next ring. When lifting the bin, crank all jacks at an equal rate. This will prevent
bowing previously assembled rings and make for easier hole alignment. To the inside
the next ring. Be sure to stagger the sheets and select the proper gauge material. Lower the bin on the
foundation after assembling and tightening bolts on the new ring or rings. When installing duct work for
the drying fans be sure to install it as you go up with the bin letting the duct set on the foundation before
the bolts are tightened to assure proper alignment. Now re-bolt the lifting straps to the lowest ring in place
thus far. Continue ring additions until you are ready for door installation. You may want to leave sheets
loose to make the attachment of the stiffeners easier.

NOTE: Add inside and outside ladders to bin walls as you continue to raise the bin.

Stiffener Installation and Location

When installing bottom stiffeners, you may find that in some cases the stiffener with base plate attached
will not rest on the foundation (due to unlevel concrete, etc.). Shim plates have been furnished and should
be used to fill opening between base plate and concrete.

IMPORTANT: If shim plates are not used where required, the downward pressure of the stiffeners will not

be transferred directly to the foundation and bin failure could result.

comes pre-assembled to the access door plate.

2. Now attach the top and bottom rear door catches (TD-101020) to the back of the Z-frames. Referring
to the layout, position the catches with the left hand most hole aligned with the center hole of the
access door plate.

3. Using washers to center the doors over the opening, attach the top access door (TD-100993) and
the inside access door (TD-100994) to the Z-frames. Utilize the lock washers to secure the bolts to
the doors. Do not overly tighten the lock washers. This allows the doors to move freely.

4. Now attach the handles (D02-0045 and D03-0512) to the doors. NOTE: The locking handles

along with the hardware labeled “out”, go to the outside doors. The rear handles have their own
hardware package.

5. With the nut and bolt supplied, attach the appropriate latches to the handles and lock them. (Refer

to Figure 9X.).) Adjust front latches (TD-101021) to catch the inside lip of the front Z-frames. Adjust

rear latches (TD-101022) to fit the slot in the top and bottom catches attached to the rear Z-frames.

1. Remove inner door panels, and outer door cover. Apply double row of rope caulk along door flanges,
noting how door and bin sheets lap. The top of the door frame goes to the inside of the sidewall and
the bottom of the door frame goes to the outside of the sidewall sheet. With inner door panels and
outer door cover removed set door frame into opening. Insert a bolt at the four (4) corne rs of door
frame and sidewall, do not tighten until completing Step 2.

2. Re-install inner door panels at original locations. Close latch bars to lock panels in place. Be sure that
panels are fully seated over all bearing pins. Install inner panel hinge assemblies per illustration
instructions with hinges. NOTE: Do not distort door frame with use of alignment or drift punches if

necessary, drill or ream holes to insert bolts in door frame. Now tighten frame bolts starting at center
and working toward top and bottom on each side.

3. Keep inner panels latched and loosen all bearing pin bolts. Re-tighten all bearing pin bolts. This
makes loading on pins uniform for easier operation of panels.

4. If some latch bars are loose or require excessive force to lock, loosen hex socket cap screws and
adjust in or out until latch bars operate smoothly. Check that the panels are fully seated over all
bearing pins.

5. Re-install outer cover. Adjust outer door hinges and latches as required.

6. Assemble door hold back as shown on Page 72. Open door cover until it approaches the bin wall.
Hook retaining bracket over lower latch mount and position the door hold back against bin wall in a
valley. Drill a 3/8" hole through the bin wall and bolt the door hold back to the bin.
