Abstract: Overhead storage reservoirs such as elevated Intze tanks store water, petroleum products, and other liquids for effective distribution. In this study, four (10, 12,14, and 16) different heights of an elevated shaft in meters of Intze tank are assumed to carry a similar capacity of water. The diameter of the tank and height change simultaneously maintaining the same capacity in rising scenarios. The dynamic wind pressure analysis was carried out as per the American Institute stand ASCE-7, 2010 in which the impulse and convective pressure vary and are assumed hydrostatically on tank walls. The tank RCC analysis was also done in STAAD.Pro. V8i as per Indian standard IS:456 for reinforced concrete works. Variation in the base shear forces was observed for both tanks to increase from 289.94 kN to 362.98 kN for 10 m to 16 m shaft height.
