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 foundation 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.
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.
3. Foundation Requirements Foundation Requirements for Top Dry Bins (4.00" Top Dry Bin Corrugation) (Continued) 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.
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 and smooth for proper operation.
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.
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-measured 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.
3. Foundation Requirements Frost Free Pad (Top Dry Bins) NOTES: 1. Foundation site should be well drained and free of vegetation or debris. 2.

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 sidewall ring you assemble will be the top ring of the bin.
5. Sidewall Construction 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.
5. Sidewall Construction 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 not tighten bolts until all sheets are assembled and form a complete ring. Attach lifting brackets to stiffener bolt holes.
5. Sidewall Construction 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 The number of lifting jacks required is best determined by personal experience.

6. Stiffener Details Outside Stiffeners The XX in the part numbers at the bottom will identify the stiffeners gauge. Example: FC-4205714 is a 2 ring standard stiffener 14 gauge.
6. Stiffener Details Top Stiffener Starting Location Refer to Figure 6C, for proper location of top stiffeners. On the overlap of the stiffeners and on the splice, use 3/8" x 1" hex bolts, a washer on the nut side connection. Refer to the stiffener layout, See Figure 6A on Page 28 for stiffener usage. All stiffeners are outside the bin wall. Use 5/16" x 3/4" grade 5 bin bolts with head and neoprene washer to the inside of the bin wall.
6. Stiffener Details 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.
