Abstract

The study of the pressures that the stored product exerts on the silo walls is a relevant factor, the present work has the objective of determining, empirically and experimentally, the loading and unloading pressures along the circular section of the vertical metal silo exerted by the stored product and the influence of the consolidation time. For the determination of horizontal and frictionpressures, devices composed of pairs of load cells were used, fixed to square sections of the silo of the silo with 2.5 m of body height and 0.64 m of internal diameter and tremonha with 0.51 m height and inclination of approximately 60° with the horizontal, made of smooth steel with 1 mm thickness. The corn loading and unloading tests were in quintupleata, and three consolidation times were adopted, which were 6, 12 and 24 hours. The experimentally determined pressures were compared to the values found from the equations contained in the standards AS 3774 (1990) and BS EN 1991/4 (2006). It was evidenced that the experimental data of horizontal pressure during loading were always lower than those standardized, considering that the standards increase the values due to the use of safety coefficients and although the calculations were performed with the subtraction of this coefficient, no interference of the consolidation times analyzed in the pressures was observed.
