Why using concrete in silo construction

In the past few decades, both concrete and steel were considered prime materials for building silos
because of their comparative advantages. However, concrete comes out on top for all the right
reasons.
Generally, concrete is favored over steel because it is a superior cost-saving solution that can resist
internal abrasive wear while withstanding much higher levels and forms of pressure. This is because
concrete is mixed and then formed while wet to ensure that the resulting shape is put together
without additional processes or treatments. 
Another reason many builders have opted to stick with concrete for their storage silos is that they
are far less costly to maintain. As opposed to steel options that see immense levels of corrosion
(especially in areas with a lot of moisture), concrete silos bear less need for regular repair, internal
fixes, cleaning, and painting—leading to immense savings!
