Measuring pressures in a slender cylindrical silo for storing maize. Filling, static state and discharge with different material flow rates and comparison with Eurocode 1 part 4
We report the results of studies conducted using maize in a silo test station. Instrumentation consisted of load cells. Static and dynamic pressures were studied. We also studied the influence of the discharge flow rate (kg/s) on pressures.
