First, you'll have to decide what you want to store in the silo. The size really depends on the volume, not on the mass you are going to store in it. Divide the 30 tonnes by the density of whatever you will store there, to convert that to a volume. Next, decide what shape the silo is going to have. I believe silos usually have a cylindrical shape, so you can use the formula for a cylinder. Then, just experiment with diferent values for radius and height, to get a size you like. That is, into the formula for a cylinder, insert a value for the radius, then solve for the height.
