Elevated water tanks are used within water distribution facilities in order to provide storage and necessary pressure in water network systems. During the occurrence of a severe seismic event, the failure or severe damages in the reinforced concrete shaft could result in the total collapse of the structure. In a reinforced concrete shaft, plastic hinge formation only occurs at the base of the shaft. This research presents an innovative technique for the assembly of shafts for elevated water tanks, using the slits in the reinforced concrete shaft design, which reduces the stress concentration at the base of the shaft and distributes stresses uniformly along the height of the shaft. The main aim of this study is to investigate the seismic performance of the Slit reinforced concrete shaft in elevated water tanks for different slit width and different Earthquake zones by means of a finite element approach. Analysis will be done according to IS-1893 using Bentley STAAD Pro Software.
