What are difference between bunkers and silos

Answer 1

Bunkers are underground dwellings for people to avoid bombing. Silos are cylindrical towers for grain storage. Some underground silos are built for missiles.

Answer 2

The physical shape of the structure.

Answer 3

As far as the shapes for bulk storage are concerned, a silo is a large vertical cylinder and a bunker can be a long large trough, sometimes U or V shaped in cross section. Both are use for coal.

Answer 4

Bunkers are normally metallic with less storage capacity. Silos are normally built by concrete through slip-form technology to meet 1000s of T of storage with regulated automated discharge.
