COMPARATIVE STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF OVERHEAD WATER TANK FOR DIFFERENT HEIGHT

Abstract

Water tanks are an important municipal and industrial structure. The design and construction methods used in reinforced concrete are influenced by the prevailing construction practices, physical properties of the material and climatic conditions. Before starting the design, the most appropriate type of tank installation and the correct assessment of loads are made, including the static balance of the structure, especially with regard to the overturning of overhanging elements. The work presented in the research work consists of a comparative analysis of the upper water tank in terms of shear force, bending moment and other parameters. From the results it is observed that the model-3 has the highest moment (kNm) as compared to the other models and have the maximum value of 170 kNm and the minimum value of 90 kNm for model-7.
