Experimental Study on Mechanical Properties of Integrated Wall Panels of Grain Warehouse with “Thermal Insulation” by Xuesen Li, Yonggang Ding, Jinquan Zhao, Qikeng Xu

“…The walls of grain cottage silos are still being built by clay brick masonry featured with single-structure form, poor air tightness, large workload of manual masonry on site, and huge consumption of raw materials and burning materials, which is not conducive to energy saving and environmental protection. In order to study the mechanical function of the new wall under the action of grain side pressure, the static loading test was conducted on the model of scaled-down wall panel under the action of side pressure. …”
