Description: Prestress losses in stave silos were identified by the authors (Kleywegt and Jofriet 1979). None of the available design codes or standards for farm silos deal with prestress losses explicitly even though they have an important effect on the strength and rigidity of stave silos. Loss of tension of the hoops can change a more or less homogeneous cylindrical shell structure into a large number of individual concrete components, stacked up but incapable of acting together. When this happens, a silo is very susceptible to wind when empty. In this paper, the earlier recommendations (Kleywegt and Jofriet 1979) and findings by Kleywegt (1978) are used to formulate a comprehensive set of design criteria that will provide a more rational stave silo design approach. The proposed design criteria have been formulated with the view that farm stave silos built at present provide an economical silage storage structure or liquid manure tank. Therefore, improvements in the present^ system rather than a complete redesign is suggested. The design criteria and recommendations are illustrated with a stave silo design example.
