Elevated water tank are one of the most important lifeline structures in the earthquake region. As water tanksrequired to provide water for drinking and fire fighting purpose. This type of structure has large mass concentrated at thetop of slender supporting structure. So extremely vulnerable under lateral forces due to an earthquake. At near faultregion water tank damages more during earthquake. Elevated water tanks collapsed or damaged during earthquakesbecause of unsuitable design and wrong selection of supporting system.The aim of the study is analyses seismic effect on different shape and types elevated water tank due to near fault and farfield earthquakes. So it is very important to select proper supporting system and shape of tank according to codalprovisions. For this purpose study, Intez types of elevated water tanks with different staging Height 12m , 16m , 20m anddifferent capacity. Here model two different staging profiles such as shaft and frame and simulated to near fault and farfield ground motion with STAAD.PRO. Software. Here analysis time history records from past earthquake ground motionrecords. Seismic responses including base shear have been observed under different earthquake time history records
