Abstract
Combined conical elevated water tanks are widely used as water reservoirs in various locations around the world.Current Indian codes of practice do not provide any provisions or guidelines for the analysis and design of reinforcedconcrete Combined conical elevated water tanks under hydrostatic loading. Available codes provisions are limitedonly for the design of cylindrical and rectangular tanks. The present study investigates the behavior of combined conicalelevated water tank under varying water percentage in conical and cylindrical parts by performing dynamic analysis,i.e. Response Spectrum method. The main aim of this research work is to find out the optimum water percentage inconical and cylindrical part for combined conical elevated water tank. The modeling and analysis of combinedconical elevated water tank is carried out by using structural analysis and design computer program, i.e. STAAD.Pro. Totaltwenty number of models were made for empty tank and full tank condition, where these models are provided with tencolumns along with the periphery of a circle with five staging levels and connected by using Cross Stagingpattern. The responses of each combined conical elevated water tank are represented graphically.
