Abstrakt: Overhead water tanks are involved in the important structures of any industrial areas and societies etc. Water tanks should remain in the functional condition during and after an earthquake or in any other emergency. The intension of researchers is very limited to structural analysis and design of overhead water tanks whereas tanks are very important structures. A number of investigations had been conducted on the failure and damage of overhead water tanks during the earthquake in the past. Many researchers in the field of structural engineering investigated the structural behavior of overhead water tanks in terms of base shear, overturning moment, displacement and time period, etc. in different structural design software's with different water conditions in the container. Some researchers investigated the structural behavior of overhead water tanks by considering different seismic zones, soil profiles, staging elevations, and bracing systems in frame staging. In this study, the author investigated the effect of different column arrangements on the structural behavior of square overhead water tank in terms of Base Shear, Time Period, Axial Force, and Main Column Moment according to the seismic zone 2A of Building Code of Pakistan by Response Spectrum Analysis using SAP2000.
