What is Concrete Stave Silos,Wiki Tell You
2015-03-24
Concrete stave silos are constructed from small precast concrete blocks with ridged
grooves along each edge that lock them together into a high strength shell. Much of
concrete's strength comes from its high incompressibility,so the silo is held together
by steel hoops encircling the tower and compressing the staves into a tight ring. The
vertical stacks are held together by intermeshing of the ends of the staves by a short
distance around the perimeter of each layer, and hoops which are tightened directly
across the stave edges.
The static pressure of the material inside the silo pressing outward on the
staves increases towards the bottom of the silo, so the hoops can be spaced wide
apart near the top but become progressively more closely spaced towards the bottom
to prevent seams from opening and the contents leaking out.
Concrete stave silos are built from common components designed with high strength
and long life. They have the flexibility to have their height increased according to the
needs of the farm and purchasing power of the farmer, or to be completely disassembled
and reinstalled somewhere else if no longer needed.
