Analysis Of Dynamic Behaviour Of Rc Elevated Water Tank

  Ravi S. Gupta,  Dr. Vikram. A. Patil,  Mr.Somangoud Takkalki

As known from the very past experiences, elevated water tanks were collapsed or heavily damaged during earth quakes throughout the world. These unusual events showed that the supporting system of the elevated tanks has more critical importance than the other structural types of tanks. The main aim of this project is to understand the seismic behaviour of the elevated water tank and finite element technique is used to investigate the seismic effect of the elevated reinforced concrete water tank with consideration and modelling of impulsive and convective water masses inside the container in Two Mass Model as per IS: 1893(part 2)-2002. The behaviour of elevated water tanks with Shaft staging pattern is analysed using from the codes IS 1893 (part 1): 2002 and IS 1893 (part 2): 2002.In addition analysis is done manually as IS standards and Finite element model and result are compared. Six cases are chosen for the analysis for Zone II and Zone V for Hard, medium and soft soil condition and there Base Shear and Overturning moments results are compared with SAP result. Finally the compared results have been presented in the form of graphs and tables.
