Investigation on the Non-Uniform Temperature Distribution of Large-Diameter Concrete Silos under Solar Radiation

There is a growing demand for silos with large diameters and volumes; hence, the stresses induced by the temperature differences between the inner and the outer surfaces of the concrete walls of the large silos become significant. Sunshine is the main source of the temperature differences; and it is...
