Abstract

A silo may be a structure for storing bulk materials. Silo is utilized in agriculture to store grain or fermented feed referred to as silage. Silo is commonly used for bulk storage of grain, coal, cement, smut, woodchips, food products and sawdust. Three kinds of silos are in widespread use today: tower silos, bunker silos, and bag silos. Every structure needs health evaluation after some time it known as condition assessment of structure. When structure complete, 10 year & found any default in structure then we need to do Non-destructive testing like Ultra-sonic pulse velocity test, Rebound hammer test and Half-cell potential meter test.
