Seismic Study of Water Tank Considering Soil Structure Interaction in Various Zones

Abstract

The design guidelines provide stringent requirements for water tightness and crack prevention in addition to high serviceability requirements to reduce reinforcing steel leaks and corrosion. More attention is put on accurately computing the controlling design forces to meet economic and serviceability criteria in light of these stringent limitations. Few studies have considered the connection between soil structure and dynamic soil pressure while conducting a seismic survey of an underground water tank. The current research compares the output results to comprehend the behaviour of an underground water tank exposed to soil structural interaction and seismic stress. Existing underground water tanks were utilized for the investigation, and by IS 1893 part-2-2014, finite element modelling of the identical tanks was completed in ETABS17 for two distinct soil conditions.
