Absract- Earthquakes are one of the most dangerous natural hazards causing damage and collapse to
livelihood and they are the result of ground shaking caused by sudden release of energy in earth‟s
lithosphere. Due to Earthquake ground motions, there is heavy economic and life loss. Most of the
losses are due to collapse of structures such as buildings, bridges, water retaining structures.
Response reduction factor is defined as the factor by which the actual base shear force should be
reduced to obtain the design lateral force. It represents the ratio of the maximum lateral force VB
(Design seismic base shear) which would develop in a structure to the Design base shear calculated
using the approximate fundamental period Ta. To compare response reduction factor of elevated
water tank having different capacities (250m3, 500m3) for different seismic zones and also be
evaluation of strength factor ductility factor and redundancy factor for all various seismic zones.
Then evaluate the response reduction factor of elevated water tank for various capacities using non
linear static (Pushover analysis) analysis in CSI SAP2000 Software.

I. INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL:
Water is considered as the source of every creation and is thus a very crucial element for
humans to live a healthy life. High demand of clean and safe drinking water is rising day by day as
one cannot live without water. It becomes necessary to store water. Water is stored generally in
concrete water tanks and later on it is pumped to different areas to serve the community. One of the
oldest known water tanks in kenya was built by the railway at makindu river in 1907. It appears the
tank was connected to a hydra pump that used the power of the flowing water in the river to push
water into the tank from where it was used by steam locomotives. Water tanks can be classified as
overhead, resting on ground or underground depending on their location. The tanks can be made of
steel or concrete. Tanks resting on ground are normally circular or rectangular in shape and are used
where large quantities of water need to be stored. Overhead water tanks are used to distribute water
directly through gravity flow and are normally of smaller capacity. As the overhead water tanks are
opening to public view, their shape is influenced by the aesthetic view in the surroundings.
1.2 NEED OF STUDY:
It is very important to consider earthquake load in design of elevated tank. Response
reduction factor (r) is very important to find out earthquake load. the response reduction factor
reflects the capacity of structure to dissipate energy by inelastic behaviour. The purpose of this paper
is to explore a methodology for evaluation of the response modification factor, r, of reinforced
concrete frame staging (supporting system) elevated tanks, which behave in a ductile manner under
seismic loads and expectedly fail in flexural mode instead of shear mode. The values of response

reduction factor(r) of rc elevated water tank are given in is1893 draft code, which is calculated at
empirically based on engineering judgment.
1.3 OBJECTIVES:
The main objective of this study is to verify the r factor of most common designed elevated
intze tank through comparing the assumed r factor during design to actual r factor obtained from
non-linear analysis. the specific objectives of the study are to:
Conduct static non-linear (pushover) analysis and calculate r factor of elevated intze tank.
Compare the calculated r factor with the assumed r factor.
Evaluate ductility, redundancy and over strength factor of elevated circular water tank.
Study the effect of staging height and staging type on response reduction factor (r).
To study effect of zone factor on response reduction factor (r).
II. DESIGN METHODOLOGY
2.1 SPRING MASS MODELING TECHNIQUE: Two mass model for elevated tank has been used for modeling fluid, was proposed by
Houser, which is more appropriate and is being commonly used in most of the international codes
including Draft code for IS 1893 (Part-II). The pressure generated within the fluid due to the
dynamic motion of the tank can be separated into impulsive and convective parts. When a tank
containing liquid with a free surface is subjected to horizontal earthquake ground motion, tank wall
and liquid are subjected to horizontal acceleration. The liquid in the lower region of tank behaves
like a mass that is rigidly connected to tank wall. This mass is termed as impulsive liquid mass which
accelerates along with the wall and induces impulsive hydrodynamic pressure on tank wall and
similarly on base Liquid mass in the upper region of tank undergoes sloshing motion. This mass is
termed as convective liquid mass and it exerts convective hydrodynamic pressure on tank wall and
base. For representing these two masses and in order to include the effect of their hydrodynamic
pressure in analysis, spring mass model is adopted for ground-supported tanks and two- mass model
for elevated tanks as shown in Figure 1.
Figure.1: Two mass idealization for elevated tank
Volume: 03 Issue: 06 June – 2018 (IJRIER)
Available Online at: www.ijrier.com Page 13
In spring mass model convective mass (mc) is attached to the tank wall by the spring having
stiffness Kc, whereas impulsive mass (mi) is rigidly attached to tank wall. For elevated tanks two-
mass model is considered, which consists of two degrees of freedom system. Spring mass model can
also be applied on elevated tanks, but two - mass model idealization is closer to reality. The two -
mass model is shown in Fig. 1. where, mi, mc, Kc, hi, hc, hs, etc. are the parameters of spring mass
model and charts as well as empirical formulae are given for finding their values. The parameters of
this model depend on geometry of the tank and its flexibility.
2.2 Review of basic component about response reduction factor:
In the mid-1980s, data from experimental research at the University of California at Berkeley
were used to develop base shear-roof displacement relationships for steel braced frames and a draft
formulation for the response modification factor. The base shear-roof displacement relationships
were established using data acquired from the testing of two code-compliant braced steel frames; one
concentrically braced (Uang and Bertero, 1986) and one eccentrically braced (Whittaker et aI.,
1987). The force-displacement curves were developed by plotting the roof displacement at the time
corresponding to the maximum base shear force for each earthquake simulation and each model.
Response reduction factor is the factor by which the actual base shear force should be reduced, to
obtain the design lateral force. The response reduction factor reflects the capacity of structure to
dissipate energy by inelastic behaviour. This process is combined effect of over strength, redundancy
and ductility. Response reduction factor is also known as ratio of maximum elastic force to designed
force. Response reduction factor is depended on three factors. 1) Over strength factor
2) Ductility factor
3) Redundancy factor
R = Rs * RR * Rμ
The concept of r factor is based on the observations that well detailed seismic framing
systems can sustain large inelastic deformations without collapse and have excess of lateral strength
over design strength. Response reduction (r) factors are essential seismic design tools, which are
typically used to describe the level of inelasticity expected in lateral structural systems during an
earthquake. The response reduction factor (r) is depends on over strength (rs), ductility (rμ),
redundancy.
a) Estimation of strength factor:
The steps in the procedure are as follows: 1. using nonlinear static analysis, construct the base
shear-roof displacement relationship for the building. 2. At the roof displacement corresponding to
Volume: 03 Issue: 06 June – 2018 (IJRIER)
Available Online at: www.ijrier.com Page 14
the limiting state of response, calculate the base shear force Vo in the building. The reserve strength
of the building is equal to the difference between the design base shear (Vd) and (Vo') . Calculate the
strength factor using the following expression:
1) Strength factor is the ratio of Maximum Base Shear (from pushover curve) VO to Design Base
shear (as per EQ calculation) Vd.
Rs = Vo / Vd
b) Estimation of ductility factor:
Equations for estimation of ductility factor is as below:
R μ = {(μ - 1 / Ф) + 1}
Ф for rock sites: = 1+ {1 / (10T -μT)}–{(1 / 2T)*e^ (-2(ln (T) – 0.6) ^2)}
Ф for alluvium sites: = 1+ {1 / (12T -μT)}–{(2 / 5T)*e^ (-2(ln (T) – 0.2) ^2)}
μ = Δm / Δy
Δm = Maximum drift capacity (0.004 H)
Δy = Yield drift (from pushover curve)
c) Estimation of redundancy factor:
The value of redundancy factor as suggested in ATC-19 is summaries in Table 3.

2.3 Hinge formation:
The RC beams and columns are modeled as 3-D frame elements with centerline dimension.
Wall and domes are modeled as shell elements. Column foundations are assumed to be fixed. Default
hinges are considered for analysis Flexure moment (M3), axial biaxial moment (P-M2-M3) and axial
compressive shear force (V) hinges are assigned at the face of beam, column, and bracing
respectively using the static pushover analysis.
2.4 Static nonlinear analysis of tank:
SAP software is used to perform the nonlinear static pushover analysis. The RC beams and
columns are modeled as 3-D frame elements with centerline dimension. Wall and domes are
modeled as shell elements. Column foundations are assumed to be fixed. Default hinges are
considered for analysis Flexure moment (M3), axial biaxial moment (P-M2-M3) and axial
compressive shear force (V) hinges are assigned at the face of beam, column, and bracing
respectively using the static pushover analysis. Figure shows the procedure of pushover analysis.
Damping ratio is 0.5% considered.
2.5 PUSHOVER ANALYSIS PROCEDURE:
Following are the steps followed in the present study to carry out analysis, design and
performance study of RC frame
1. 3D model of RC frame was created.
2. Corresponding section and loads for the beam and column were assigned.
3. Analysis was carried out for both gravity and earthquake loads.
4. Design was carried out using CSI SAP2000, itself, as per IS: 456-2000 provision.
5. Default hinge properties at assumed potential points (near beginning and ending of the

element) were assigned.
6. For column PMM hinge property was assigned and for beam M3 hinge property was
assigned. These points have pre-defined properties as per ATC-40.
7. For non-linear/pushover cases, in which first case is force control and second case is
displacement control were defined.
8. For displacement control case, earthquake force is used to push the frame laterally upto
maximum displacement (4% of building height).
9. Run the non-linear static analysis to get pushover curve.
III. PROBLEM FORMULATION & ANALYSIS
3.1. General
The non-linear static procedure is a simple option for estimating the strength capacity in the
post-elastic range. The procedure consists of applying a predefined lateral load pattern to structure
model which is distributed along the structure height. The lateral forces are then monotonically
increase in constant proportion with a displacement control node of the building until a certain level
of deformation is reached. The applied base shear & the associated lateral displacement at each load
increment plotted. Based on the capacity curve, a target displacement which is an estimate of
displacement which is produced by design earthquake on the building is determined. At this target
displacement extent of damage experienced by the building is considered representative of the
damage experienced by the building when subjected to design level ground shaking

4.8 RESPONSE REDUCTION FACTOR
(a) Variation of Response reduction factor for 250m3:
Figure 3: graph of R factor v/s seismic zones for different staging of water tank
Graph shows the comparison of staging height with three factors redundancy, ductility, and
over strength. Results are taken for 250m3 full and empty conditions. Results show that R factor
decrease with increase in staging height. Redundancy depends upon number of vertical framing, so
Redundancy factor is remaining same for all height. Over strength factor is decreasing by increasing
staging height. It shows that reserve strength of tank is decreasing by increasing height.

over strength. Results are taken for 250m3 full and empty condition. Results shows that R factor
decrease with increase in staging height. Redundancy depends upon number of vertical framing, so
Redundancy factor is remaining same for all height. Over strength factor is decreasing by increasing
staging height. It shows that reserve strength of tank is decreasing by increasing height.

condition of water tank
V. CONCLUSION
1. The response reduction factor is considerably affected by the staging height of water tank. It
reduces as the of water tank is increasing.
2. R factor is highly dependent on seismic zones. For various seismic zones R factor also changes.
3. Time period and Redundancy of elevated tank will remaining same for all zones of same height
of tank.
4. Base shear will increasing by changing the zone from II to V for the same height of elevated
tank.
5. The Time period is considerably affected by the staging height of water tanks. It increases as the
height of water tank is increasing.
6. Over strength factor of elevated tank is decreased by increasing zone factor. So, it shows that
reserved strength of water tank is decreasing by increasing the zone factor.
7. R factor is decreasing by changing the condition of water tank from full to empty.
8. Time period and base shear of elevated tank is also increased in full condition of tank.
