My concept is similar to the post (see illustration) but builds further on the massive/strong nature of the concrete silos ... steel requirements, floor columns could literally be steel cables!

An Oswestry concrete company has upgraded its premises with a huge new silo - its says to keep up with 'booming' business. Maesbury Road based TG Concrete has installed a new 100-tonne cement silo ...

With no beams or columns, the design allows for higher ... In addition to the membrane layer and the reinforced concrete layer, the silo walls include a polyurethane layer for thermal insulation.
