When it comes to deterioration it is because of the silage pressure because this has huge impact upon the large part in determining the rate of silage acid damage to the concrete silo this may lead to acid deterioration. Concrete silo with high pressure would be at the bottom, the taller the silo the high pressure will produce and with pressured this will increased in squeezing on the ensiled mass the final result would be the liquid and after producing a liquid this may turns out to be an acid moist.
The end product of the liquid would be the acid laced silage juice and then they are forced into a tiny spore in the concrete or stick within the concrete. The bigger the silo the bigger of acid will produce and it is highly suffer from acid deterioration compared to the smaller size silo. The higher the moist the higher the risk of concrete silo to be affected by the acid deterioration if not prevented this may lead to accelerate the acid process and can damage the silo in no time.
When it comes to place the material inside the silo, it has to be vertical and horizontal loads or pressures, the good point for having this placing method of materials is because to minimize the acid deterioration of the structures.
When corrosion occurs the action of silage acids minimize the ability of stave walls to carry the vertical friction load materials this is due to contained silage. Through positioning of the material in vertical friction load this is effective upon the thickness of the concrete and strengthening the inner surface of the silo also decreases. As you can see that stave silo can decrease the acid base but in strength will loosen up.
The bad effect of acid deterioration upon the concrete silo will attack the bottom part of wall, the wall is the one that carry the greatest amount of vertical load, to think that wall is the area where the acid can attack. And when it comes to the top end of the silo 40 percent of the contained weight of silage is transmitted to the footing part of the silo this because of the friction effect.
The bottom material within the silo will crush due to compressive load and can be decrease to the point of cross section. Concrete silo must be wash and clean when the time comes when it is empty.
