Abstract
Elevated water tanks are critical components of every community. It should continue to work after an earthquake or calamity. After an earthquake, maintaining a reliable water supply is crucial for civilization. Despite the importance of water tanks in society, research on their design and analysis remains minimal.This research focuses on the linear design of an elevated water tank. This requires the usage of two softwares. SAP 2000 and auto desk robot structural analysis (ARSAP) are two often utilized softwares. Many studies have been conducted in the past on the damage and failure of elevated water tanks during earthquakes. Elevated water tanks come in several kinds, such as concrete pedestals, framings, and mashrooms. This research uses a water tank with a hydraulic head of 60 and focuses on the 2B seismic zone. Elevated water tanks are designed using three kinds of soil profiles: SE, SD, and SC. This research analyzes and designs a raised water tank using UBC 97, one of many accessible codes in the market. This research uses a systematic approach to assess raised water tanks using SAP 2000 and ARSAP software. Both softwares utilized for raised water tank analysis and design produced somewhat different findings. ARSAP analysis is faster than sap2000 analysis. Structures sitting on superior soil exhibit lower deflection compared to those on soft soil. The use of steel rebars does not significantly affect the bending moment.
