Abstract
In this paper a description is given of tests with a medium-scale model silo. The silo has been instrumented with wall pressure cells measuring normal stress and with strain gages and temperature transducers, and recently, wall shear stress cells have also been put into service. The shear cell behavior is of particular interest because a basis for dimensioning wall shear stress cells has only recently been given, and because it is difficult to place such cells in a model silo without changing the local wall stiffness. A description of the shear cells is given, together with results from equilibrium tests in the model used to evaluate their applicability. Observations from tests with different discharge conditions are also discussed.
