Prestressing Losses
As the tank will be post-tensioned, the final strands will be tensioned after nearly all the
elastic shortening in the concrete has taken place, therefore the average loss may be taken as
half the value calculated above i.e loss = 0.901

Vertical Design
Tank Empty
When the tank is empty, moments will be induced in the vertical direction by the larger prestressing
forces near the foot of the wall, as compared with the smaller prestressing forces near to the top of the
wall.
The maximum moment induced may be assessed as being numerically equal to half of the moment
induced by a pinned base condition.
