Water tanks are important public utility and industrial structure. Liquid containing elevated circular tanks are critical and strategic structures. They are considered one of those sensitive structures affected by dynamic loads. The design of circular water tank should be based on the worst possible combination of loads, moments and shears arising from vertical loads and horizontal loads acting in any direction when the tank is full as well as empty. In order to study the seismic behavior of elevated circular water tanks caused by dynamic loading the soil structure interaction (SSI) and numerical analysis plays a major role. This work is focused on the study of seismic response of elevated circular water tank considering the sloshing effect and this work evaluates the behavior of the circular water tank considering SSI effect in seismic Zone II and III and different soil conditions as per IS1893(Part 2):2014.

Keywords- Water Tank, Seismic Response, Circular water tank, SSI, Sloshing effect.
