the main purpose of earthquake resisting design is that the structure should notpermit to collapse but damage is allowed during earthquake. Water tank is importantstructure. Staging type of tanks is generally collapse during earthquake, so it is required tocalculate earthquake load perfectly. Past evidence had shown that the elevated tanks arevulnerable due to earthquake. The tanks are designed based on linear elastic methods whichare considered only elastic range. Factor shows the reserved strength of water tank.inIS 1893-2002(part-2) value of R factor for RC elevated shaft supported tank is 1.8 and forcolumn supported 2.5. One constant R-value for elevated water tank cannot reflect theexpected inelastic behavior of all elevated water tanks located in different seismic zone andhaving different staging pattern. So it is required to find out perfect value of R factor forvarious type of RC elevated tank individually. The present study efforts are made to evaluatethe response reduction factor of RC framed staging elevated water tank having varying stagingheight, capacities, staging type and zones. The main objective of this study is to verify the Rfactor of most common designed Elevated Intze tank through comparing the assumed R factorduring design to actual R factor obtained from non-linear analysis.
