Design and Construction of Circular Prestressed Concrete Structures with Circumferential Tendons
Also Known As:
ACI 373R-97 (R2010) is a standard that provides guidelines and recommendations for the design and construction of circular prestressed concrete structures, commonly known as tanks, that use tendons for circumferential prestressing. The standard also covers the design and construction of dome roofs. It aims to ensure the structural integrity and durability of these structures.
The standard includes information on the materials required for construction, such as concrete and prestressing steel, as well as the design requirements for the structural elements, including the walls, floors, roofs, and supporting elements. It also provides guidance on the design of the tendons, including their layout, anchorages, and prestressing forces. The standard addresses considerations for both above-ground and underground tanks.
The design and construction of circular prestressed concrete structures with circumferential tendons require careful planning and attention to detail to ensure the safety and performance of the structure. The standard offers recommendations on topics such as structural analysis, load combinations, serviceability requirements, and construction procedures. It provides engineers, architects, and construction professionals with a comprehensive guide to ensure the proper design and construction of these types of structures.
