Abstract

Water tank is considered to be an important structure and they should remain functional during earthquakes to overcome the water demand due to fire etc. Water tanks are different from buildings, in the sense that a huge mass of water is concentrated at top supported on slender staging. As known from very upsetting experiences, liquid storage tanks were collapsed or heavily damaged during the earthquakes all over the word. The economic lifetime of concrete or steel tanks is usually in the range of 40 to 75 years. Damage or collapse of the tanks causes some unwanted events such as shortage of drinking and utilizing water, uncontrolled fires and spillage of dangerous fluids. Due to this reason numerous studies done for dynamic behavior of fluid containers; most of them are concerned with cylindrical tanks. In this study, Seismic forces acting on an Elevated water tank e.g. circular Tank and rectangular tank are studied with constant staging height. Seismic forces acting on the tank are also calculated changing the Seismic Response Reduction Factor(R). IS: 1893-1984/2002 for seismic design and then checked the Design of Tanks by using the software STAAD PRO.
