Basically, cooling tower is a devise which extract waste heat from industry or plant building to the atmospherethrough cooling of water stream at a lower temperature. As these are very huge thin shell structures, they basically subjected toits self-weight and the dynamic loads as an earthquake load and wind load. Recent devastative occurred earthquakes havevulnerable effects on cooling towers and played vital role of them in safety and performance of power plants during and after astrong ground motion. The cooling tower has been analyzed for the wind load as well as the seismic load by using the finiteelement analysis of ANSYS version by assuming its bottom end fixed and top end free to displace. As a part of analysis, coolingtower of height 143.50 mt is taken of having different column supporting systems i.e. H-frame, V-frame, I-frame, A-frame. Theeffect of wind load on the cooling tower is considered by defining design wind pressure coefficients given in IS: 11504-1985 alongwith the pressure distribution at various height as per given in IS: 875-PartIII-1987. Seismic load is carried out by applying 0.5gin accordance with the IS: 1893-2016. For the purpose of comparison, maximum principle stresses, shear stresses anddeformation of tower are derived from the analysis
