in the present study, a RC framed staging elevated tank is considered to evaluate the response reductionfactor with and without considering the effects of flexibility of soil. The existing elevated RC water tank is analyzed usingdisplacement controlled non-linear static pushover analysis to evaluate the base shear capacity and ductility of tank withand without considering soil-flexibility. Three different types of soil conditions representatives of hard soil, medium soiland soft soil has been considered in this study. It is observed that flexibility of supporting soil has considerable effect onresponse reduction factor, time period and overall performance of water tank indicating that idealization of fixity at basemay be seriously erroneous in soft soils.
