SILO BETON [5 records]

Record 1 2020-09-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Crop Storage Facilities
CONT

Stack silo. [This] type of silo makes it possible to store forage in stacks, ideally on a concrete floor. The stacked forage is then covered with a membrane generally made out of polyethylene.

CONT

Silo-meule. [Ce] type de silo permet d’entreposer les fourrages en meules, idéalement sur un plancher de béton. Les fourrages ainsi accumulés sont recouverts d’une membrane généralement composée de polyéthylène.

Subject field(s)
  • Crop Conservation and Storage

DEF

A vertical cylindrical tank-type structure used for storing chopped forage in the form of silage. Usually it is made of concrete staves, concrete or tile blocks or metal sheets, held together by tension bands or reinforcements. Diameter and height vary with capacity desired.

Le silo-tour ou silo vertical est un cylindre métallique ou en béton amené, plus rarement en bois, de 10 à 20 m de hauteur, chargé mécaniquement par le haut et dans lequel le tassement se fait par gravité.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Grain Growing
CONT

Today, many options using concrete are available; new concepts are emerging and the art is constantly improving. (...) The circular bin is usually preferred since it is the cheapest shape to build, requiring the least amount of reinforcing steel and wall thickness to handle the stresses. It is also easier to build with moving or jump framework, surface finishing is easier, there are no corners for grain hangups, and hopper bottoms are conical with no valley angles. Square concrete bins nested together with common walls, may be advantageous where space is at a premium.

CONT

Les dimensions des structures en béton sont aussi variées que leur forme. Les cellules cylindriques sont les plus courantes en raison d’un coût de construction minimal; en effet, la forme cylindrique est celle qui exige le moins d’acier d’armature et le moins de ciment pour résister aux efforts(tensions). Les cellules cylindriques sont également plus faciles à construire avec des coffrages mobiles; elles facilitent le surfaçage, ne renferment aucune encoignure où le grain puisse s’accumuler et, enfin, l'orifice des trémies est conique, ne présentant ainsi aucun angle interne. Lorsque l'espace est une priorité, il peut être avantageux de construire des cellules carrées imbriquées dans les murs du silo.

CONT

A schematic diagram of a modular concrete canister disposal (MCCD) facility is shown in Figure 5.5. Modular concrete canister disposal consists of placing individual waste containers in modular concrete structures (i.e. overpacking the individual waste containers in concrete canisters) and disposing of the concrete canisters in shallow low trenches below natural grade. Except for the use of the concrete canisters, the physical details of belowground modular concrete canister disposal closely resemble those of shallow land disposal (in that disposal is below grade with shallow cover) and belowground vaults (in that structured capability is also provided by the facility).

CONT

Modular concrete canister disposal. Figure 11 shows the canister disposal option. Its main characteristics are that: . wastes are placed in concrete canisters that can then be placed either in shallow, below-grade trenches or above grade on a concrete pad; . there is a shallow earthen cover over the waste trenches containing the canisters (earth or soil may be mounded over the canisters in the above-ground version); . structural stability is provided by each canister; . the structure is modular in nature; and . safety may be enhanced in future by additional engineered barriers.
