We had several built for us in the 80"s. After the footing is poured they would come in with a straight truck and start loading from the pile they delivered earlier. They would put the first circle down and then the bands would go on loosely but snugg. As the silo rose from the ground they would put scafolding inside that would raise up as they went up. The blocks were staggered so they held each other in place. When they got the last round on they would put the roof on,and get ready to plaster. They mixed the concrete as the put it on, taking the scaffolding apart as they came down. After it sat for a while they came back and tightened the hoops up. The plaster if I am remembering right was about 1/2 inch thick. Kinda fun to watch but it was dangerous work. The guy attaching the rope to the blocks on the truck would turn as the block went up the outside and the guy above who was controling the winch would catch the block as the winch was released. Occasionally one would drop, I saw a hole through the floor of the truck the one day when they were done.If I remember correctly it was three semi loads of blocks for a 18 X 60. I think I have the order correct , but that was many moons ago, my brother has tore some of them down and the one farm we used to own they were removed entirely. He does more cash cropping now.
