Abstract: RC intze water tanks are constructed for storage
and suppling of water through a certain height with adequate
pressure of water distribution. Many overhead water tanks
affected due to certainty like earthquake that can induce large
lateral forces. So, there is a necessity to Understand and examine
the behavior of intze tank supported on framing in context to
different soil types under the seismic forces. This paper evaluates
the experimental output of seismic analysis that compares shear
and moments at base for different seismic zone (II, III, IV, V) in
different type of soil conditions.
Keywords: Intze water tank, Seismic analysis, Base shear,
Base moment.
I. INTRODUCTION
Water supply plays a portal vote day to day life and
adequate storage is highly desirable, is proportional to
increase in population, requirement for drinking water has
increased and also due to a shortage of electricity at various
regions of India, it is not possible to supply water through
pumps at peak time. So, at such scenario elevated water tanks
happen to vital part of life [1]. Earthquakes affected several
tanks in past that can induce large horizontal and
overturning forces in elevated water tanks. The elevated
water tank damaged due to a large mass concentrated at the
top with the relatively slender supporting system [2-3].
Water tanks can distress in different situations like
inaccurate structural configuration design, poor materials
quality and workmanship, corrosion of reinforcement, wind
forces and earthquake [4].
II. LITERATURE REVIEW
Harsha et al. [7] analyzed and designed Intze water tank by
considering the quake forces as per IS 3370-2009 and draft
code IS 1893(Part-2): 2002 with two mass model i.e.
impulsive model and convective model. They observed that
time period; base shear and moment determined by
convective mode of vibration was greater as compared to the
impulsive mode of vibration. Shear and moment at base by
two mass model modes were obtained 36% and 41%
respectively as compared to the lumped mass model method.

Livaoglu and Dogangun [8] they used finite elements model
with the frame type and shaft type supporting system. It has
been observed that the supporting system affect the sloshing
displacement as compared to shaft type system. It was found
that the displacement decreased 83% for frame type
supporting system. However, 12% displacement decreased,
when the shaft type supporting system is used.
Shakib et al. [9] analyzed RC elevated water tanks, having
capacity of 900 cum and at a height of staging 25, 32 and 39
m. It is assumed that concrete behaves nonlinearly. So, study
entailed the shear and moment at base increases in the range
between 10-20 %, and 13-32 % respectively. Also,
displacement and hydrodynamic pressure increases in the
range between 10-15 % and 8-9 %, respectively.
Vyankatesh and Varsha [10] analyzed the circular Intze tank
supported on RC frame staging and shaft staging at different
staging height for different capacities and seismic zones for
IS 1893 (Part-II):2014, is derived the increase in tank
capacity for the different seismic zone and also base moment
supported on frame staging was less as compared to shaft
staging.
III. MATHODOLOGY
It must be ensured that the water tank design is capable to
withstand certainty like earthquake loading, which varies
with an increase in seismic zones.
3.1 Methods of seismic analysis
Mainly two different types of design analysis are as follows.
3.1.1 Equivalent static analysis:
Statistical approach can be efficiently appeal to elevated
water tank. It is dependent on representation of seismic load
in the form of identical static loads. Approximate in context
to tank is vital and without any degradation, in accuracy
estimate, a single degree of freedom is sufficient.
K = P / Δ
Where
K= Lateral Stiffness of staging
P= Applied lateral force
∆ = Deflection in mm
3.1.2 Dynamic analysis:
It is very hard to analyse the dynamic nature of elevated water
tank. Due to static behaviour of tank, predictions can hardly
be done. Elevated water tank having liquid with free
surfaceis related to motion of natural calamity like
earthquake and the direction of motion result in acceleration
of the tank wall and liquid.
