RE: AWWA D100-05 3.5.1 question

Will this result in an unbraced flange in compression instead of tension?

AWWA (Eq 3-35) on page 35 provides formula for required section modulus for Girder.

 

My question is:  Can this girder be provided either inside or outside the tank? Does it have to be on outside the tank?

 

I would like to provide the girder inside the tank to avoid interference with the ladder/stair.

 

Thanks!
