Abstract Research on structural behavior of cylindrical shells in column-supported steel silos under wind loading by adopting numerical methods is conducted. Firstly, distributions of circumferential wind pressure on cylindrical shells are summarized. Then, research on structural behavior, especially stability, of column-supported cylindrical shells is carried out through linear stress analysis and geometric nonlinear analysis. Furthermore, analysis on effect of column width is conducted. Finally, original imperfection sensitivity of column-supported cylindrical shells is discussed.
