In the past, the safe design of circular structures has been extremely difficult, mostly because exact knowledge concerning shrinkage and plastic flow of concrete has been lacking. This paper contains new data for evaluating these phenomena and describes methods that make practicable the use of the high strength of cold-drawn steel wire. Such developments have made it possible to design tanks and other large circular structures on a rational basis, with the assurance that an adequate prestress will be maintained to eliminate cracking of concrete and that important reductions will be made in the weight and in the quantities of critical raw materials required for their construction.
