8 Detailing provisions

8.1 General

For general information on pre-stressed concrete tanks, reference should be made to Annex B.

8.2 Pre-stressing

For the pre-stressed concrete wall, horizontal pre-stressing shall be applied.

NOTE Vertical pre-stressing is not required. It can be combined with horizontal pre-stressing. The need for vertical pre-stressing depends on the tank design pressure, tank diameter, and associated permanent and transitional stresses within the concrete section.

8.3 Wall design

The minimum wall thickness shall be determined so that:

adequate cover to all reinforcement and pre-stressing tendons shall be available;

space between the reinforcement and pre-stressing tendons shall be sufficient to ensure that a homogeneous, liquid tight concrete structure is obtained.

8.4 Steel roof liner

The steel roof liner shall be anchored adequately to the concrete roof.

NOTE The liner may act as formwork for the concrete and may also act compositely with the use of shear studs. The concrete may be built up in layers to prevent overstress of the liner (see also B.6)

8.5 Construction joints

Attention shall be paid to the design and execution of the construction joints. The location and necessity shall be carefully planned to minimize the risk of poor jointing. For the areas where liquid tightness is to be assured, the contractor shall provide method statements based on proven working practices and where necessary, due to lack of evidence, the contractor shall carry out tests to demonstrate that the construction joint is liquid tight.

8.6 Position of tendons and wires

For internal pre-stressing systems using buttresses and grouted tendons, due account of the emergency conditions, e.g. fire scenarios, shall be taken to determine the position of the pre-stressing system.

NOTE 1 Tendons should be preferably placed, in the centre of the concrete wall for protection against external fires.

The tendons shall be well protected from corrosion during the life of the tank. Grouting procedures shall be provided and agreed between the designer and contractor to provide adequate protection to the tendons.

NOTE 2 In very aggressive environments, where additional protection is required, for the tendons, non-ferrous pre-stressing ducts may be considered. Reference is made to �Durable bonded post-tensioned bridges� Concrete Society Report TR47 [12]. For non-bonded tendons, reference should be made to FIP recommendation 91 [13].

Annex A(informative)

Materials

A.1 Concrete

For concrete, the following general information is provided:

for pre-stressed concrete the class of concrete should be at least fck 40 of EN 1992-1-1:2004;

enhanced strength, that is known to exist for concrete as a material of construction at low temperature, is normally not used in determining the ultimate strength of concrete sections. However, when adequate testing data is available, the low temperature properties may be utilized;

reduced expansion coefficient, thermal properties and Young�s modulus should be considered for design verification;

strength increase caused by high strain rates (e.g. valve impact) should be considered when appropriate;

use of high strength concrete and/or fiber admixtures may be considered appropriate for certain applications;

use of a low water/cement ratio is essential. It reduces the pore water within the concrete matrix. The freezing of pore water causes an expansion of about 9 %. Some of this expansion is taken up within existing air voids but, if there is excessive water, internal cracking of the concrete can result;

concrete mix may contain up to 5 % entrained air. Air entraining agents should be resin based in accordance with the relevant standard. Metallic based agents should not be used;

it should be ensured that no adverse effects from using combinations of concrete additives can take place;

ground granulated blast furnace slag or pulverised fuel ash may be used in combination with Portland cement. These materials assists in reducing the heat of hydration of thick concrete sections and thus reducing the early thermal shrinkage;

whilst the introduction of cement replacement materials may be beneficial in terms of the reduction of early shrinkage and enhanced resistance to environmental pollution, users should be aware that there may be a slower strength gain;

prolonged contact with hydrocarbon products has no significant detrimental effect on the properties or useful life of concrete, even at ambient temperatures;

microsilica may be considered to improve the resistance to corrosion.

A.2 Pre-stressing steel and anchors

For the design of pre-stressed concrete structures the following information is provided:

greatest load to the concrete structure occurs during construction, when the tensile load is applied to the pre-stressing steel tendons or bars. The jacking stress in the steel tendon is around 80 % of the yield strength of the tendons. Thereafter the applied stress to the steel tendons reduces due to lock-off, transfer, relaxation and creep. This forms part of the reason why hydrostatic testing is not required for the secondary container of double and full containment tanks;

pre-stress losses and numerical values are ascertained for the steel at ambient temperature as a conservative assessment as the steel characteristics improve at low temperature;

if the design temperature is lower than 50 °C, then it should be demonstrated by testing that the pre-stressing system (bars, strands and anchors) is suitable for the cold temperatures to which it may be exposed. In this respect the following literature should be considered:

1) "cryogenic behaviour of materials for pre-stressed concrete" [14];

2) "Assessment of mechanical properties of structural materials for cryogenic applications" [15].

A.3 Reinforcing steel

A.3.1 Sampling

For the testing of the bars, fully finished bar should be sampled from two production heats, from the maximum and minimum bar diameter for the order, and from all strength grades to be used. The minimum rate of specimen testing should be in accordance with EN 10002-1. Testing should be carried out in accordance with EN 10080 where test records are not available from the manufacturer.

A.3.2 Testing

Tensile tests should be carried out under cold condition (at the design metal temperature) to establish the suitability of the steel.

NOTE The design metal temperature should be the lowest temperature that the reinforcement bar would be subjected to under abnormal loading conditions.

During the test, the specimen temperature should be as uniform as possible. The difference between the temperature at any two points of the specimen or the difference between the temperature at any point and the design temperature should not exceed 5 °C.

Tensile tests in accordance with EN 10002-1 should be conducted on un-notched and notched bar specimens.

A NSR value of 1 or greater is required to achieve acceptable toughness.

The test specimen for notched bar tests should be notched at the half-length position between the machine grips. A V-notch should be used that has an internal angle of 45° and a radius at the base of 0,25 mm. Machining techniques and tolerances should be in accordance with EN 10045-1. For longitudinal ribbed bars, the notch should be placed across the rib and penetrate 1 mm into the underlying bar. For transverse ribbed bars, the notch should be placed on the crown (see Figure A.1).

2) Plastic elongation

Each un-notched specimen should demonstrate a percentage plastic elongation of at least 3 %. The percentage plastic elongation is the permanent percentile increase of the original gauge length corresponding to tensile strength.

3) Yield strength

In addition, the yield strength of the un-notched specimen found during testing should be at least 1,15 times the minimum yield strength used in the design.

A.3.3 Alternative solutions

The following alternatives may be considered:

use of carbon-manganese steel, 9 % nickel steel or austenitic stainless steel. Various grades of stainless steel reinforcement are available complying with EN 10088-1. The ductility of most austenitic stainless steels is maintained down to �196 °C;

reinforcing or pre-stressing steel with reduced allowable tensile stress.

NOTE ANSI/NFPA 59A recommends a maximum allowable tensile stress for reinforcement for tanks for LNG. This is significantly lower than the stress permitted for ambient temperature, and may result in an uneconomic design, but can be justified where special steel is not available or economically unacceptable.

Pre-stressed concrete tank

B.1 General

The following publications give reference information on details and parameters for the design of prestressed concrete tanks:

Turner F.H. Concrete and cryogenics [16];

Bruggeling, A.S.G. Prestressed concrete for the storage of liquefied gases [17];

Preliminary recommendations for the design of prestressed concrete containment for the storage of refrigerated liquefied gases [18].

Pre-stressed concrete is most suitable for liquid tight concrete structures. Therefore, it is used for the wall of the tank. The bottom and the roof are often made of normal reinforced concrete.

B.2 Pre-stressing system

Horizontal pre-stressing is always required. The need for vertical pre-stressing depends on the design of the tank (design pressure, thickness of roof etc.).

Horizontal pre-stressing could be provided by means of the following techniques:

horizontal tendons positioned in ducts within the concrete wall of the tank, extending between the buttresses formed on the outer face of the tank wall;

an aggregation of tendons formed by winding wire or strand around the outer face of the wall.

NOTE Wire winding systems should be placed on the outer face of the wall in a continuous helix with vertical spacing between wires of not less than 8 mm. Each layer of wire should be coated with shotcrete to provide a minimum of 6 mm thickness over the wire. After all wires have been placed and coated as described, a final coating of shotcrete should be applied to provide a minimum thickness of 25 mm over the last layer of wire (AWWA D110).

B.3 Base slab

The tank base slab could be made of either pre-stressed or reinforced concrete.

In the case of pre-stressed concrete where piles are used, movement of the slab from pre-stress forces shall be considered in the design.

NOTE Often the base slab is made in sections with construction joints. Full attention should be paid to the execution of the construction joints so that a monolithic structure is ensured.

B.4 Wall to base junction

The wall to base connection could be designed as a:

fixed joint: in such a case the concrete structure is monolithic. The movement of the wall, relative to the base slab, is prevented. The joint is designed to accept the relatively large moments and shears which arise as a consequence;

sliding joint: the wall is supported by the base slab and may move horizontally. The wall is free to move horizontally. It is supported by the base slab. Generally it is necessary to ensure that the outer tank cannot move laterally. Radial guides should be provided to ensure that the movement is concentric with the base slab. A flexible seal, commonly in the form of a stainless steel strip, should be provided to prevent leakage of liquid or gas;

pinned joint: the wall is also supported by the base slab, it is fixed horizontally, (usually after post tensioning) and has the capability of limited rotation. Substantial shear is transferred from wall to base slab, but the joint is not required to transmit bending moments. The custom is to allow the wall to slide while it is being pre-stressed. Thereafter it is pinned in position, by one of several devices, but not prevented from vertical rotation.

A summary of the advantages and disadvantages of each type of joint is given in Table B.1.

Table B.1 � Summary of the advantages and disadvantages of joints in the wall to base junction

System Advantages Disadvantages

Sliding joint Stresses are predicted with good reliability

Dependent on adequacy of joint seal

Secondary stresses are relatively small Some uncertainty over degree of sliding obtained

Pinned joint Pre-stress is predicted with good reliability

Subsequent secondary stresses are less reliable

Maximum moment occurs in wall away from the joints, at level where "end effects" from vertical tendons are largely smoothed out

Large shears and fairly large moments

Fixed joint Robust form of construction Larger moments and shears

Full vertical pre-stressing in bottom of wall

Maximum moment occurs at the joint

The fixed joint concept is preferred for liquid tightness.

For LPG tanks, the fixed joint can be designed for the low temperature to which it may be exposed in case of a primary container leakage. This is not the case for LNG tanks. The wall to base connection has to be protected by TPS.

The three different designs of joint are shown in Figure B.1.

The roof can be cast continuously (ring bands) or can be divided into a number of sections. The roof can also be cast in several layers, depending on its thickness. Attention should be paid to the construction method adopted for, flat and crack-free, finishing of the roof. The concrete production rate, transport capacity and workforce and the slope of the roof are aspects to be considered.

During the concreting, an air pressure inside the tank might be necessary to support the fresh concrete weight until sufficient resistance is reached.

B.7 Foundation design

B.7.1 General

The following types of foundation can be considered:

shallow foundation (raft or ring beam type);

piled foundation.

B.7.2 Shallow foundation

B.7.2.1 Raft system

Where soils have the necessary properties to support designated loading, a soil supported reinforced concrete slab can be considered. The slab should be sized to provide an adequate spread of load to the soil and may require thickened sections for highly loaded areas e.g. under the tank shell and walls. In the design of the slab, provision should be made for the effects of local differential settlement, drying shrinkage, creep and thermal strain during service or under emergency conditions.

B.7.2.2 Ring beam system

Where the soil can support the applied loads from the tank and contents within allowable settlements, a tank-pad type foundation could be considered. This is augmented by a structurally independent ring beam designed to support the tank shells and/or walls and to provide anchorage to resist uplift.

Attention should be given to the design of the ring beam to tank-pad interface, to avoid a sharp change in bearing medium. A transition support plate may be required.

NOTE A separate ring beam may also be provided within the tank to provide a load bearing insulating support for the inner tank shell. This is in addition to any main foundation ring beam.

Where the soil conditions do not permit a near surface soil supported foundation, the base should be supported on piles.

B.7.3 Piled foundation

Piles or piers should be used to provide adequate foundation capacity from the deeper soil strata. The use of piles is often based on economic justification, and the wide variety of options for pile types, diameters and lengths has many advantages to optimize the foundation design. ش·

The base design should take account of variations in pile stiffness. The installation method and pile capacity shall be verified through a pre-production and production-testing program. Consideration should be given to designing the base and pile system to accommodate a redistribution of load in the event of failure of an individual pile.

NOTE 1 Attention should be paid to the possibility of cooling down of the base slab due to leaks in the primary container. Shrinkage of the slab should be taken into account. The shrinkage will decrease towards the centre of the slab.

NOTE 2 Consideration should be given to the joint between pile supports and the base. If the subsoil characteristics are suitable, closely spaced slender piles can be rigidly connected to the base. Where large diameter in-situ formed piles are used, it may be possible to use rigid connections for the piles near the centre of the tank, but to provide a sliding joint for the remainder.

NOTE 3 The horizontal force that may be specified for blast loading is an important aspect to be considered in case piles are used.

NOTE 4 In a double or full containment tank, horizontal forces and moments from accidental actions may also be transferred to the base slab.

The use of an elevated slab can also be considered. Major considerations are the use of �accessible� vibration isolators (against earthquake loading) or to avoid the use of heating elements.

The paving under the tank should slope to the edge of the tank so that in case of a spill product is diverted to the outside.
