ABSTRACT
In this study, Wind Force and Seismic forces acting on an Elevated water tank e.g. Intze Tank
are studied. Seismic forces acting on the tank are also calculated changing the Seismic Response
Reduction Factor(R). IS: 1893-1984/2002 for seismic design and IS: 875-1987(Part III) for wind
load has been referred. Then Analyzed the Elevated Tank by using the software STAAD PRO.
Reinforcement detailing is done for the Tank. Base Shear and Base Moment are calculated and
compared the results for Tank Full Condition and Empty Condition and found that the Base shear in
the full tank condition is high and Base moment also high in the case of tank full condition. With the
increase in R value Base Shear and Base Moment decreases. Considering the design aspect, the
seismic forces remain constant in a particular Zone provided the soil properties remain same whereas
the Wind force is predominant in coastal region, but in interior region earthquake forces are more
predominant. Design of Elevated Tank is done by calculating the all Horizontal Thrust, Meridonal
stress, Hoop Tension, Hoop Stress and Reinforcement is calculated for Top spherical Dome, Top
Ring Beam, cylindrical wall, Bottom Ring Beam, Conical Portion, Circular Beam, Columns and
Staging’s and then Detail Drawing of Reinforcement is Done.
Keywords: Seismic Analysis, Staad Pro, Base Shear, Base Moment.
I. INTRODUCTION
An Earthquake is a phenomenon that results from and is powered by the sudden release of
stored energy in the crust that propagates Seismic waves. At the Earth's surface, earthquakes may
manifest themselves by a shaking or displacement of the ground and sometimes tsunamis, which
may lead to loss of life and destruction of property. Seismic safety of liquid tanks is of considerable
importance. Water storage tanks should remain functional in the post-earthquake period to ensure
potable water supply to earthquake-affected regions and to cater the need for firefighting demand.

Cylindrical Wall (200thick):
r=8.6+0.2=8.8
Weight=π*8.8*0.2*0.4*1000*25= 552.9KN
Bottom Ring Beam (500*300): r=8.6+0.5=9.1
Weight= (π*9.1*0.5*0.3*25) = 107.2 KN
Circular Ring Beam (500*600): r or l =3.14+3.14=6.28
Weight=π*6.28*0.5*0.6*25=148KN.
Bottom Dome (200 thick): r2=(r^2+h^2)/2h
r=6.28/2=3.14
r2=1/2((3.14^2)/1.4) +1.4) =4.22m

Total Weight of Water=2508 KN.
Stagging Weight:
Columns (650φ) Weight= (π*0.65^2*15.7*6*25)/4 =782 KN
Braces (300*600): Weight=3.14*0.3*0.6*3*6*25=254KN
From Above Results: Weight of Empty Container=Top Dome +Top Ring Beam + Cylindrical Wall + Bottom Ring Beam

=209.3+52.1+552.9+107.2+148+185.6+321.3 =1576KN.
Weight of Stagging=Weight of Columns + Weight of Bracings = 782+ 254 =1036KN.
Hence, Weight of empty Container + 1/3(Weight of Stagging) =1576+ (1036/3) =1921KN
Centre of Gravity of empty Container above top Circular Ring Beam= ((209.3*7.22) + (52.1*5.9) +

Let h be height of equivalent circular Cylinder, (D/2) ^2*h=255.65h=4.4m
Volume of water = 2,508 / 9.81 = 255.65 m^3
h / D = 4.4 / 8.6 = 0.51
m i / m = 0.55;
mi = 0.55 x 2,55,658 = 1,40,612 kg
mc /m = 0.43;
mc = 0.43 x 2,55,658 = 1,09,933 kg
hi / h = 0.375; hi = 0.375 x 4.4 = 1.65 m
hi*/h =0.78, hi*= 0.78 x 4.4 = 3.43 m
hc/h =0.61, hc = 0.61 x 4.4 = 2.68 m
hc */h =0.78, hc*= 0.78 x 4.4 = 3.43 m
According to IS code,About 55% of Liquid mass is excited in impulsive mode while 43% liquid
mass participates in convective mode.Sum of impulsive and convective mass is 2,50,545kg which is
about 2% less than the total mass of liquid.
Mass of empty container+one third mass of staging,

IX. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS
1. In India elevated tanks are widely used and these tanks have various types of supports.
2. Maintains hydraulic grade lines without automated controls. Provides pressure when power is
lost.
3. Simple to operate Lower power cost because an elevated tank can be filled in evening when
power costs are less.
4. The seismic design of the R/C elevated tanks, based on the rough Assumption that the subsoil
is rigid or rock without any site investigation, may lead to a wrong assessment of the seismic
base shear and overturning moment.
5. Suitable value of lower bound limits on spectral values for structure including tanks needs to be
arrived at does not recommend consideration of Convective Mode of vibration. R Value taken
in IS 1893:1984 is nowhere in the range corresponding to that value in different international
Codes.
6. As per observed from Table 1, Base Shear and Base Moment have increased from Empty Tank
Condition to Full Tank Condition.
7. we observe that due to change in place from Base Shear due to Wind Force decreases by 26%
and Base Moment decreases by 18%
8. Analysis & design of elevated water tanks against earthquake effect is of Considerable
importance. These structures must remain functional even after an earthquake. Elevated water
tanks, which typically consist of a large mass supported on the top of a slender staging, are
particularly susceptible to earthquake damage. Thus, analysis & design of such structures
against the earthquake effect is of considerable importance.
9. Most elevated water tank are never completely filled with water. Hence, a two – mass
idealization of the tank is more appropriate as compared to one-mass idealization.
10. Basically, there are three cases that are generally considered while analyze the Elevated water
tank – (1) Empty condition. (2) Partially filled condition.
(3) Fully Filled condition. For (1) & (3) case, the tank will behave as a one-mass structure and
for (3) case the tank will behave as a two-mass structure.
11. If we compared the case (1) & (3) with case (2) for maximum earthquake force, the Maximum
force to which the partially filled tank is subjected may be less than half the force to which the
fully filled tank is subjected. Actual forces may be as little as 1/3 of the forces anticipated on
the basis of a fully filled tank.
12. During the earthquake, water in the tank get vibrates. Due to this vibration water Exerts
impulsive & convective hydrodynamic pressure on the tank wall and the tank base in addition
to the hydrostatic pressure.
13. The effect of impulsive & convective hydrodynamic pressure should consider in the analysis of
tanks. For small capacity tanks, the impulsive pressure is always greater than the convective
pressure, but it is vice-versa for tanks with large capacity. Magnitudes of both the pressure are
different.
14. The effect of water sloshing must be considered in the analysis. Free board to be provided in
the tank may be based on maximum value of sloshing wave height. If sufficient free board is
not provided, roof structure should be designed to resist the uplift pressure due to sloshing of
water.
15. Earthquake forces increases with increase in Zone factor & decreases with increase in staging
height. Earthquake force are also depends on the soil condition.
