Abstract: The tank is considered to be a single degree of freedom system with large mass concentrated at the top of tank. The behavior of tank under seismic loading is largely dependent on staging height. Seismic forces are dependent on staging height. In the present work effect of staging height on seismic behavior of water tank is studied. The tank with various staging height was modeled in finite element software ETABS. The spring mass model as suggested in IS 1893:2002 consisting of convective and impulsive masses was used for analysis. The parameters such as displacement, maximum forces in columns and base shear are compared for different staging height and presented.
Keywords: Staging height, spring mass model, ETABS.
