The current position, development possibilities and planing of horizontal cement grain depot constructions and licenced depot operation

In this study, aims at discovering the deficiencies of the tradiotonally constructed storehouses and planning new storehouses that will provide the best circumstances in order to keep the grains in good conditions by analyzing the current situations of the storehouses that are owned by farmers, cooperatives, trademen and TMO around Adana and its vicinity.Under the research, the humidity of the grains that are stored in different kinds of storehouses have been observed.The research has been made in the storehouses of the farmers and trademen in Ceyhan, Kozan and Karataş and grain depots of TMO in Adana.Almost all of the storehouses in this region have been constructed in tradionally ordinary type.According to the result of the research, the humidity in the grains stored at the storehouses that are constructed with respect to the technical rules is not changed much while the humidity in the tradionally constructed storehouses that are not suitible to the technical specifications has been observed to rise.Consequently, by technically appropriate planning and construction of the storehouses the degree of the humidity which is the most important factor that might negatively affect the grains in storehouses may be kept under control.
