Design of Corn Storage Structure and Ventilation System for Igdır Province

The quality losses in the product increase when corn harvested not stored in optimum conditions.therefore, conservation of corn without the quality deterioration and conserving the postharvest nutrient content during storage period in storage of corn is possible with storage structures designed with proper techniques.because there are no adequate storage structures in response to increased corn production in igdir province the importance of modern and large stores has been increased. the calculation of lateral project pressure according to low store design criteria in determining of the wall thickness has been made. in this study, design criteria of a reinforced concrete horizontal storage structure has been demonstrated with a sample project in order to maintain for a long time the quality of corn grown in igdir province. as a result, the store wall thickness of 77 cm and 1000 w fan power for ventilation of product was determined.
