Water tanks are very imperative for public convenience and for industrial structure. Water tanks are very
significant components of lifeline. They are grave elements in municipal water supply, fire fighting systems and in many
industrial amenities for storage of water. From the very upsetting experiences of few earthquakes in India, R.C.C
elevated water tanks were profoundly damaged or collapsed.
This might be due to the lack of knowledge regarding the proper behavior of supporting system of the tank due
to the dynamic effect, improper geometrical selection of staging, and also due to lack of earthquake resistant design.
The main aim of this study is to understand the significant of considering earthquake loads in design & the
behavior of strengthening the conventional type of staging to give enhance during earthquake.
