60724-1757D ABSTRACT Disclosed are improved tank structures and the processes and apparatus for their construction. The walls of the prestressed tank are formed by inflating a membrane, applying one or more layers of rigidifying material outwardly of the membrane and then prestressing the walls by circumfer- entially wrapping prestressing material to minimize the tension in the rigidifying material when subject to loading. In another embodiment, wall forms are placed inwardly of the membrane to aid in the forming of the walls and circumferential prestressing. The walls are preferably of fiber reinforced plastic, or resin sandwich composite construction. Also disclosed are seismic countermeasures to protect the structure against earthquakes and other tremors, by the anchoring of the tank walls to the base and permitting the seismic forces to be shared by the seismic anchors. When a seismic disturbance occurs, the force acting on the structure can be transmitted and distributed to the footing and around the circumference of the tank.
