Seismic Design of Intze Water Tank

Abstract

Earthquake is a natural hazard that causes damage to the structures. The damage may be in terms of lives or economy which always affects country's national growth. As Earthquake can not be predicted accurately the structural design of any structure should be such that it must resist the earthquake forces effectively. Water tanks are considered most important structure for water distribution system. During past earthquakes the damages were observed which affected the entire water distribution network. After Bhuj earthquake more conciseness was developed which resulted in to more emphasize on seismic design approach to the water tanks. Present study focuses on seismic analysis of water tank considering frame staging.The results were compared with di erent parameters.The results obtaied with indian code is com- pared with Eurocode criteria. The design is carried out by Working Stress and Limit State approach.The Qauntity comparison is made for two methods.
