Abstract
T paper describes the design and some construction aspects of three 55,000 barrel underground fuel storage tanks using plant cast, prestressed, segmental wall panels, The walls are post-tensioned circumferentially with the stressing tendons installed in ducts which are subsequently grouted. The use of concrete for the construction of storage tanks, particulary underground tanks, has several attractive features, including durability, good resistance to lateral forces, and protection from fire and other external hazards. The use of precast prestressed concrete has the added advantages of better quality control and lower on-site labor cost than cast-in-place concrete, particularly at a remote site such as Adak (see map, Fig. 1). Western Division, Naval Facilities Engineering Command (WESTNAVFACENGCOM), is responsible for the design and construction of shore
