A REVIEW PAPER ON ANALYSIS OF ELEVATED WATER TANK IN HIGH SEISMIC ZONE BY USING STAAD PRO SOFTWARE

Abstract

Elevated water tanks are one of the most important structures in earthquake high regions. In major cities and also in rural areas elevated or overhead water tanks forms an integral part of water supply scheme. These structures has large mass concentrated at the top of slender supporting structure hence these structures are especially vulnerable to horizontal forces due to earthquake. Elevated water tanks that are inadequately analyzed and designed have suffered extensive damage during past earthquakes record. Hence it is important to check the severity of these earthquake forces for particular region. In this project presents the study of seismic performance of the elevated water tanks for high intensity seismic zones of India for various section of elevated water tanks for different circular shape(dome concrete floor, flat concrete floor). The effect of height of water tank in earthquake zones and section of tank on earthquake forces have been presented with the help of STAAD PRO software. We have comparatively analysis of various section of elevated water tank in the high intensity earthquakes zone and find the which section are most suitable in this region according to behavior of structure. And also consider the various type of forces on elevated tank and varius effect like that sloshing effect by using STAAD PRO software
