Navy builds prestressed concrete tanks
To store its fuel supplies without using critical steel plates, Navy is making extensive use of concrete tanks and is using prestressed design to minimize shrinkage cracks; all tanks are buried underground; iron dust mortar is used in annular joint between wall and floor to save rubber ordinarily required; roofs are supported by columns; various types of linings have been developed to eliminate reactions between fuel and concrete.
