It is known that, some of the fluid containers are damaged in many earthquakes. Damage or collapse of these containers causes some unwanted events such as shortage of drinking and utilizing water, uncontrolled fires and spillage of dangerous fluids. Even uncontrolled fires and spillage of dangerous fluids subsequent to a major earthquake may cause substantially more damage than the earthquake itself. Due to these reasons this type of structures which are special in construction and in function from engineering point of view must be constructed well to be resistant against earthquakes. The object of the present work is to compare the seismic behaviour of elevated circular RCC water tanks having different capacities of storage. For this purpose circular elevated water tanks of capacities 75 thousand, 1 lakhs and 2 lakhs are considered to analyse under seismic forces. Heights of staging considered is 12m circular tanks for all the capacities. All the models are analysed for zone II zone III, zone IV and zone V using Staad-Pro v8i software. To study the seismic behaviour of all the tanks the response parameters selected are lateral displacement and base shear. Observation shows that the provision of circular water tank is suitable for low intensity zone. From the analysis result parameters deflection and base shear of the water tanks increases from lower to higher zones because the magnitude of intensity will be more for higher zones. Present work provides good information on the result parameters deflection and base shear in the water tanks having different capacity.
