摘要
The pressure exerted by the material stored in rectangular flexible-wall silos is investigated during filling. Tests on a large-scale steel model silo with a pyramidal hopper showed that the stress state of the material stored is influenced significantly by the wall flexibility and boundary conditions. The measured wall pressures were very different from pressures predicted by traditional theories and existing design codes. This is because most traditional theories were developed for rigid-wall circular silos and ignored the effects of interaction between stored material and structure. The causes of the observed pressure redistribution are explained.
