(OP)
can anyone help me out with how to design round steel silos? At the very least I could use some reference manual names also if anyone is aware of "hidden problems" things that need designed which aren't immediately obvious, that would be awesome.
thanks,

Also, ASME has a committee that is in the process of writting a design code for steel bins.

Gaylord and Gaylord also edited a book titled "Design of Steel Bins for Storage of Bulk Solids" - this is an in-depth text on the subject.
Lastly, John Buzek wrote a manual on the design of silos - "Useful Information on the Design of Steel Bins & Silos". It is an AISI publication.

Colleagues, let me tell you, I cannot copy these most impressive books for the price of the real thing. I used to buy the Design of Welded Structures By Omer W. Blodgett, Sc.D., P.E., (Hardcover, 832 pages) and give it as gift to all young engineers that came to work for me. Dr Blodgett is one of the most impressive and knowledgeable fellow engineers. I have attended several of his seminars. I learn so much from him and his love to the profession shows every time he speaks. He is a pillar in my eyes and book!
