Abstract

Elevated water tanks are subjected to dynamic loads with varying capacity and located in different seismic zones. The history of the earthquake demonstrates that it has inflicted numerous losses to the life of people and has imposed damages caused to the public utility services such as water tanks. These buildings are particularly sensitive to horizontal wind pressures because of the considerable mass concentrated at the top of the narrow supporting structure. The structural parts of the elevated water tank have been subjected to rigorous computational testing in order to establish how well they function when subjected to wind loads. Four raised water tanks are modelled using finite element analysis and examined in the cloud. An axial load variation investigation of the columns with various staging heights is conducted after the completion of analysis. Results from this research will help better understand raised water tanks and how to construct them so that they can withstand wind loads.
