Wrapped Tanks
`
`
Residual Compression
`
`
200 psi for wall portion above grade,

50 psi below grade
Only the core wall is prestressed the
critical shotcrete cover is not
Steel diaphragm required for

watertightness, on most wall types
Shotcrete cover coat has many
shrinkage and tensile cracks
Minimum Thickness
These cracks leave the critical

circumferential prestressing wires
exposed to corrosion
4 Different wall types
Creates confusion for the owner

allowing each manufacturer to sole
source their tank
Proprietary stressing equipment needed
Tony Galterio, P.E.
`
`
Minimum Thickness
11 Typically, 9 using S.C.C.
200 psi for entire wall height

Entire thickness of wall is prestressed
Crack free prestressed Concrete wall

provides watertightness
No shotcrete cover coat
Circumferential prestressing is triple

corrosion protected for greater long
term durability
Wall constructed using non-industry

specific methods and materials
Allows for a competitive bidding

environment of local general
contractors
Prestressing system is non-proprietary
allowing for competitive bidding of
suppliers

Conventional Tanks
`
Greater Thickness of Concrete Sections
Durability factor creates inefficient use

of reinforcing steel
60 KSI reinforcing steel
Concrete has shrinkage cracking
`
Plain Rebar Protected by Concrete Cover
Thinner Concrete Sections
No Residual Compression
Segment Length of Concrete Placement

is Limited
Tony Galterio, P.E.
No durability factor required

270 KSI Reinforcing steel
200 psi for entire wall height

Entire thickness of wall is prestressed
No shrinkage cracking
Prestressed crack free concrete cover

Watertight duct or sheathing
Corrosion inhibiting grout or PT coating
Prestressing is Triple Corrosion

Protected
No Limit on Segment Placement Length
Fewer Joints
Faster construction

`
Conventionally Reinforced
`
Many shrinkage cracks

Multiple construction joints
Thicker Sections
Roofing Membrane
Required for
Watertighness
Tony Galterio, P.E.
2 way Prestressed
No cracks, always in
compression
Monolithic placement, no
construction joints to leak
Thinner Sections
No Roofing Membrane
Needed
Domes may be used on both types of tanks if desired

`
Net tension on concrete

section is allowed under
seismic loading
`
Tensile and flexural cracking

Leakage and Damage to tank
Repair is Likely Required

Tank out of service
Tony Galterio, P.E.
Concrete section must

stay in compression under
seismic loading
No tensile cracks, always in
compression
No Damage or Leakage
No Repair Anticipated
Better for lifeline and fire

protection critical structures

Tony Galterio, P.E.
Greater Versatility
` Improved Economy
` Absolute Watertightness
` Better Long-Term Durability
