ABSTRACT
Elevated water tanks in an empty condition, though not important in structural design,
becomes an important problem in seismic design. The objective of the present research is to
investigate the elevated water tanks in empty and in filled conditions and to emphasize the
importance of seismic response. Four elevated tanks with various parameters are selected
for seismic analysis with the base isolation technique. It is found out that empty tanks are
highly vulnerable to earthquake effects, whereas filled tanks can be mitigated by providing
base isolation. A simple experimental investigation has also been carried out to validate the
analytical results.
