Seismic Analysis And Comparative Study Of Esr For Earthquake Zone V In India

Abstract

A Water tank simply means a container to store water in huge amount of capacity. As known from very upsetting experiences, liquid storage tanks were collapsed or heavily damaged during the earthquakes all over the world.The economic lifetime of ESR is generally around 40 to 65 years. Damage or collapse of the tanks causes some unwanted events such as shortage of drinking and utilizing water, uncontrolled fires etc. Water tank parameters include the general design of tank and way of construction materials, linings. Various material are used for construction of water tank like:- plastic, concrete, steel, fiber glass. Therefore to avoid all those disadvantages numerous or various studies is been carried out regarding tanks.In this study I have compared Elevated Service Reservoir (E.S.R) ofRectangular & Circular shape of 5lakh capacity and total height of 18m with 3m staging inEarthquake Zone V by Equivalent static analysis using STAAD.PRO softwarereferringGSDMA guidelines for design of tank and IS 1893 PART2-2014 code. It can be observed that Circular water tank is more economical and preferable.
