The main objective of this research is to explore the seismic performance of the group silos through the shaking table tests and the finite element analysis. The 1/16 scaled model of reinforced concrete silos supported by supporting wall was designed and constructed. The shaking table tests were carried out with gradually increasing table‐input acceleration amplitudes. The dynamic characteristics, seismic responses, cracking patterns and failure mechanism of the model under empty and full conditions were analyzed. The finite element model was established and verified by experimental results. This article is aimed to provide guide for engineering design of group silos.
