Abstract
The article is devoted to the preliminary assessment of the tank foundation for its carrying capacity and durability as long as this structure is of a high responsibility level. The inspection of the tank foundation was made in order to assess the possibility of building a similar construction. Considering the site conditions, special attention was paid to the seismic stability of the tank. According to the state standard requirements the calculations were made on the basis of all index marks taking into account the main and specific combinations of loads. To define the tank stability for further operation, it was necessary to assess the possible need of strengthening or repairing it from the point of view of its carrying capacity for the first group of limit states as well as the deformed state. By the results of the research the possibility to further re-use the construction has to be resolved by the owner.

The author of this article made this preliminary assessment of the foundation for a clean water tank being under reconstruction
The concrete strength of the structure under investigation determined by the impact pulse method corresponds to grade B10 of strength grade M100 according to the State Standard 26633-2015 named "Concretes heavy and fine-grained
Summary
The reuse of those buildings decommissioned on various reasons requires a preliminary assessment of their technical condition. Clean water reservoirs are considered to be buildings of a high responsibility level according to the Technical safety regulations of buildings and structures of the Federal Law No 384-ФЗ dated December 30, 2009 [1] They are considered buildings of an especially high responsibility level (1a) according to the State Standard Р 54257-2010 named “The Reliability of Building Structures and Foundations. The scientific novelty of the research is to study the possibility of re-using the existing tank foundation for building a new structure of an especially high responsibility level. Such studies have never been carried out before.
