Concrete is a strong and durable material with serviceability and long-lasting properties demand for concrete is increasing with the growth in the infrastructure globally, concrete is more robust in compression than tension, and lesser tensile strength can lead to reduced crack formation resistance. The utilization of concrete using nanoparticles is starting to show promise as a modern development to improve concrete’s properties, these materials range from 1-100 nm in size, can occupy a larger surface area, and play a significant role in the hydration process, the nanomaterials were available in various shapes, forms and dimensions, graphene oxide (GO) is an output from the oxidation process of the graphene material, graphene is one of the strongest material globally. The present study mainly focuses on the impact of GO on the M25 grade concrete’s strength and workability, made with Silica fume (SF) as the partial replacement for cement with the proportion of 5, 7.5, and 10% along with the addition of GO with 0.02%, 0.05%, 0.1%, and 0.2% to the weight of cement, test results obtained were indicated that the 0.05% addition of GO shown optimum values.

This design focuses on the analysis and design of silos exercising the post-tensioned system, aiming to facilitate these critical storehouse structure’s structural effectiveness and safety. Silos are extensively used in colourful diligence to store bulk accoutrements, and their structural integrity is of consummate significance to ensure dependable and secure operations. The study involves a relative analysis between conventional silo designs and those employing the post-tensioned system. The geste of silos under different loading conditions is simulated and evaluated. The assessment considers key performance indicators such as load-bearing capacities, deflection, cracking behavior, and overall stability. The findings indicate that post-tensioning significantly enhances the structural performance of silos. The post-tensioned method offers a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to traditional silo construction by reducing cracking and improving overall stability. The results contribute valuable insights to the optimization of silo design, offering engineers and stakeholders in the industry a practical and efficient solution for industrial storage requirements. In conclusion, the analysis and design of silos using post-tensioning techniques provide a promising approach to enhancing the effectiveness and safety of silo structures. Implementing these innovative methods can improve performance and reduce maintenance costs, making them an attractive option for future silo construction systems.
