Abstract
The safety of elevated water tanks is critical in earthquake-prone regions. This research focuses on evaluating different bracing systems used in circular elevated water tanks subjected to seismic forces in Zones II and III, especially on soft soil. The study examines the effectiveness of cross, diagonal, and alternate bracing systems in reducing structural stresses and deformations. By analyzing base shear, displacement, axial forces, and bending moments using Staad Pro software, the research provides insights into the optimal bracing configuration for enhancing seismic resilience.
