01
Hoop tension
Circumferential tendons carry the hoop tension from stored material, which is what allows a thinner silo wall.

Strand for prestressed silo construction
Global Overseas supplied prestressed steel strand for the construction of raw meal silos at the Tam Diep Cement Plant in Vietnam. Silos are a classic prestressing application: the hoop tension generated by stored material is carried by circumferential tendons, which allows a thinner wall than a conventionally reinforced design.
Silo tendons are wrapped around the structure rather than run through a slab, so the strand has to be supplied in a form that suits continuous wrapping, and the anchorage and duct system has to match the wall geometry. Consistent tensile and relaxation performance is what allows the designer to rely on the effective prestress in the wall.

Why it matters
What precast prestressing demands from the strand
02
Continuous wrapping
Silo tendons are wrapped around the structure, so the strand supply and packing have to suit that method.
03
Reliable effective prestress
The designer relies on the effective prestress in the wall, which depends on the relaxation performance of the strand.
04
Duct and anchorage match
The duct and anchorage have to suit the wall geometry and the tendon layout.
