post tensioned concrete tank design references

post tensioned concrete tank design references

(OP)
I am looking for design references for post tensioned concrete tank design.  The application is similar to wastewater exposure. If you have any suggestions, please post them.  

RE: post tensioned concrete tank design references

AWWA D110 gives the code requirements.  But there's a lot more to designing these than a code reference.  We (and everyone else) usually specify them and leave the design to the supplier.  Is there a reason you want to design one yourself?

RE: post tensioned concrete tank design references

(OP)
Who are some suppliers you are familiar with?

In this case, I have a detailed design from a company in Germany but the design needs to be checked against US codes for local loads and permitting.  

RE: post tensioned concrete tank design references

Do you know of any other references for wastewater applications?  

RE: post tensioned concrete tank design references

You might also want to consult ACI 350 Environmental Structures: Code Requirements.  They have section on prestressed.
