Description: Twenty seven pressure-density experiments and eigh teen indirect friction tests were carried out in model silos with barley silage ranging from 36 to 63% moisture content. The results were used to produce a model for the dry density of "barlage" in terms of vertical pressure, loading time, and moisture content. This model was then used to predict silo capacities and wall pressures. The results indicated that for barley silage the density and silo capacity are less than for alfalfa and more than for corn silage. The products of friction coefficient and pressure ratio were smaller for the higher moisture material. Wall pressures based on measurements in laboratory silos compared favourably with the predictions of the new Canadian Farm Building Code. Average bulk densities of barley silage were com puted over a range of moisture contents and silo diameters for inclusion in the new code.
