Are VSL Prestressed Concrete Tanks applicable to various site and seismic conditions?
Site conditions may require a fully-buried, partially-backfilled, above-grade, sloped backfill or conditions where ground water is above the tank floor – a VSL Prestressed Concrete Tank is adaptable to any of these conditions. The design methodology and structural detailing of prestressed concrete tanks is well-developed. Concrete structures, and particularly prestressed concrete tanks, have the proven ability to withstand severe earthquakes.
