Elevated water tank with frame staging is mostly used in India and due to its requirement after earthquake it is considered as an important structure. Thus, it is required to control seismic response of tank staging to minimise damages. In this work, effectiveness of Lead rubber bearing (LRB) and X – plate damper (XPD) in seismic response control of staging is investigated. Initially two types of frame staging are considered for same capacity of tank and from nonlinear static analysis best suited staging is identified. After this LRB and XPD are installed separately and to check the effectiveness of these devices nonlinear time history analysis has been performed for four different earthquake records. It is observed that, due to these control devices seismic responses are significantly reduced.
