For the reconstruction or new construction projects of bulk cargo yards，the environmental protection requirements of conventional open bulk cargo yards are becoming more and more stringent，and thus the dust-proof design of yards must be considered. However，the dust suppression effect of the conventional design scheme of adding dust suppression nets to open yards is poor. Therefore，the design schemes of different closed yards are analyzed，such as vertical silos，circular stockyards，and strip yards，and multiple factors are considered in the analysis，such as the material adaptability，handling efficiency of process systems，storage capacity，and unit storage costs. It is concluded that the closed strip yard is an economical and reasonable selection for bulk storage yards. Furthermore，in view of the requirements such as handling processes，structure design，and fire safety，it is determined that the closed strip shed with a low column and a large span is an optimal solution that can be recommended for a bulk cargo yard.
