| The basis for the success of prestressed tanks is in two areas. The first is the steel shell diaphragm that is the heart of the wall, and which makes the wall impermeable. The second is the bonded prestress wire which is applied under full load giving a uniform, measurable prestress force around the full circumference of the tank. Shotcrete, fully encasing the prestress wire, bonds it to the wall and prevents corrosion. |
