Method for constructing a cylindrical silo and silo built according to this method

摘要

Method for constructing a cylindrical silo, particularly of concrete, characterised in that panels 2a, 2b, ... 3a, 3b, ... are prefabricated and each extends over a circular sector which is determined in such a way that several panels may form a complete circumference, the necessary number of panels 3a, 3b, ... are laid one after the other on the bottom of the silo in order to form a first complete row 3, while firmly fixing each panel 3a, 3b, ..., as the work progresses, with the preceding panel and with the bottom of the silo, other panels 2a, 2b, ... are then placed successively on this first circular row 3 while firmly fixing them together and with those of the lower row 3 in order to form a second row 2, and this process is continued until the silo is completed. This method considerably simplifies the construction of the silo and its cost is less than that of the slip-forming method. IMAGE
