    Physical properties such as density, cohesion, and angle of shear resistance of manure, and pressures on walls of on-farm manure shed were measured.
    As results of these measurement, static pressure of stored manure on walls were estimated extremely lower than the ordinary soils, and dynamic pressure due to agitation by vehicles were equivalent to the value of the maximum traction capacity of the vehicle divided by the area faced forward of the bucket equipped.
    From these results, simple method to estimate the design wall loadings of manure shed is proposed.

Keywords: manure shed, structural design, wall loads, pressure
