In the US one at hand reference may be

Structural Engineering Handbook 4th ed
Gaylord, Gaylord, Stallmeyer
Mc Graw Hill

Section 28

IN Spain the same code for loads NBE AE-88 has basic information for silo design.
Also has the popular Jiménez Montoya book on reinforced concrete, I think.

If u r familiar with BS8110, than look for Structural Engineering Design in Practice, Roger Westbrook,Construction Press.
It has a blueprint of Silo design for begginers.

For those of unfamiliar with BS8110, where do we find the book you mentioned. I looked for a Construction Press on the web. No luck with any search engine.
