  • Abstract:
  • Water supply is a life line facility that must remain functional in natural disaster. These structures have large mass concentrated at the top of slender supporting structure hence these structure are especially vulnerable to horizontal forces due to earthquakes. The Intze water tank were collapsed or heavily damaged during the earthquakes because of unsuitable design of supporting system or wrong selection of supporting system and underestimated demand or overestimated strength. So, it is very important to select proper supporting system and also need to study the response of Intze water tank subjected to seismic forces in different zones and to find out the design parameters for seismic analysis. It is also necessary to consider the sloshing effect on container roof slab. The effect of hydrodynamic pressure and pressure due to wall inertia & effect of vertical ground acceleration in the seismic analysis must be considered in the seismic analysis of Intze water tank.
