        abstract = {The paper provides a comprehensive overview of the analysis of steel staging for sheet molded compound panels in water tanks. It delves into the various properties of sheet molded compound (SMC) that alter with height, specifically focusing on parameters such as bending moment, base shear, and displacement in relation to staging height. Notably, the energy-absorbing capacity of SMC composite surpasses that of steel and aluminum due to its lower density, with a specific energy absorption of approximately 50 KJ/KG. As staging height increases, there is a 3% rise in seismic force and base shear value. Tensile tests conducted using a Zwick tensile tester with an optical 3 extensometer revealed that composite SMC boasts a tensile strength of 85 MPA and 38 MPA in its weakest dimension, whereas standard SMC and composite SMC exhibit similar tensile strengths. Furthermore, the presence of geometrical discontinuity at the junction of cylindrical-conical shells is observed to induce compressive and bending stresses within the structure. These stresses can be mitigated through various measures, such as adjusting the inclination angle or incorporating a ring girder at the base of the structure. The literature shows that SMC also be used water tank material due to high compressive & tensile property.},
