AWWA D115-20 Tendon-Prestressed Concrete Water Tanks
SKU: 44115-2020
This standard describes current and recommended practice for the design, construction, and field observations of concrete tanks using internal tendons for prestressing. This standard applies to containment structures for use with potable water, raw water, or wastewater.
Description
This standard reflects a committee consensus of industry practice concerning the design, detailing, and construction of prestressed-concrete water tanks that employ horizontal prestressing tendons in walls. This standard also addresses the use of prestressing tendons in floors, vertically in the walls, and in roofs. Recommended criteria and guidelines are presented to assist engineers in design and construction of both cast-in-place and precast concrete tanks using tendon prestressing, based on the specific detailed experience of the committee members. Engineering principles are tied to existing codes where applicable.
