Abstract: Elevated water tank is a water storage facility supported by a tower and constructed at an elevation to provide useful storage and pressure for a water distribution system. The height of the tower provides the pressure for the water supply system. During the high peak hours of the water system, the static potential reserved in the tank will be used to provide the pressure in the water pipes and helps the pumping systems by maintaining the necessary water pressure without increasing pumping capacity. They also present enough water pressure for firefighting when the pumping systems are not sufficient to provide large amount of water needed for fire extinguishing. In public water distribution system, Elevated water tanks are generally used being an important part of a lifeline system. Due to post earthquake functional needs, seismic safety of water tanks is of most important. Elevated water tanks also called as elevated service reservoirs (ESRs) typically consists of a container and a supporting tower. In major cities and also in rural areas elevated water tanks forms an Integral part of water supply system. The elevated water tanks must remain functional even after the earthquakes as water tanks are most essential to provide water for drinking purpose. These structures have large mass concentrated at the top of slender which have Supporting structure and hence these structures are especially vulnerable to horizontal forces due to earthquakes.
