Zusammenfassung:A silo Abstract A silo and a method of manufacturing the silo are provided. The silo comprises a base in the form of a concrete foundation slab, a round cylindrical side wall assembly 5 extending from the base, a roof extending over the side wall assembly, a roof support and a retaining edge kerb. The round cylindrical side wall assembly includes a plurality of precast concrete side wall panels, each side wall panel being formed with side edges having interengaging joint formations for engaging with adjacent side wall panels, and a plurality of post-tensioning hoop tendons located at predetermined intervals around an 10 external surface of the wall assembly. The method includes erecting the side wall panels on the foundation slab, each of the side wall panels being positioned side-by side in an interengaging configuration to form the wall assembly, externally post tensioning the wall assembly by locating the plurality of post-tensioning hoop tendons and post tensioning the hoop tendons, forming the retaining edge kerb between a lower 15 external face of the side wall assembly and the base, providing the roof support on the side wall assembly, and fitting the roof to the side wall assembly via the roof support.
