Silos and tanks

Circumferential post-tensioning on the walls of silos and other round containers has been, historically speaking, one of the first known uses of prestressing tendons. Avoidance of tensile stresses  across the wall of the tank allows to obtain durable and cost effective constructs. Although, technically speaking, it is most effective to prestress containters of a round shape, this technology has also found use in the rainforcement of objects with a rectangular base - sewage and water storages, for instance. 

 

A specific application for post-tensioning are LNG tanks as well as nuclear reactor casings.
