Abstract

Abstract: Water tanks are widely used for storage of drinking water. Water tanks and especially the elevated water tanks are structures of high importance which are considered as main lifeline elements that should be capable of keeping the expected performance i.e. operation during and after earthquakes. In this research paper, the analysis of the seismic behaviour of the elevated circular water tank by Indian standard code and Euro code is carried being carried out. The analysis is carried out on 35 cubic meter capacity elevated circular water tank in zone III and spectrum zone II and on three different soil conditions i.e. hard soil, medium soil and soft soil using ETABS software as per Indian standard code and European standard code. The results of base shear, base moment, storey displacement and storey drift are obtained from both codal provisions. Keywords: Elevated water tank, Seismic response, Etabs, Base shear, Base moment
