Review On Seismic Analysis Of Intze Water Tank With Different Types Of Staging Configuration

Abstract

Water is essential element for life as well as its uses in other types of work including construction. The demand of water is not constant every time and it varies from time to time. For continue supply of water, we need to store the water at some place. In order to store the water, we use a structure known as elevated water tank. Intze type water can store large capacity of water for regular supply. Hence, these types of structures are huge in shape and size so these water tanks are very vulnerable to earthquake. Various researches has been  done to find the effects of loads and forces such as wind, earthquake etc. acting on water tank with help of software like STAAD PRO, SAAP, ETABS etc. to minimize the collapse and any types of damage to the structure. The main objective of this paper is to analyse the earthquake effects and loads acting on the elevated water tank and to study its performance and behaviour under these conditions having different types of staging configuration in the structure of water tank with parameter like base moment, base shear, displacement, time period for empty tank, half-filled and completely filled water tank considering different types of soil and different seismic zones.
