The Various Types of Bracing Systems Used in the Study to Mitigate the Seismic Effects for Various Seismic Zone
摘要
Elevated storage tanks are critical structures that play a vital role in maintaining water supply during and after seismic events. However, their behavior during earthquakes can be complex due to dynamic effects and improper geometrical staging [3,5]. My focus is on studying the seismic behavior of these tanks to enhance their performance. In this study, I have investigated the seismic response of an elevated Intze storage tank using different types of bracing [1,6]. The objectives were the base shear on the storage tank was analyzed. The maximum nodal displacement at the top of the water tank was assessed [4]. Equivalent static analysis was performed using STAAD Pro for different types of bracing systems [2,7]. The study considered elevated circular Intze storage tanks in seismic zones III, IV, and V. The comparison included base shear and nodal displacements for empty, and full tank conditions. They aimed to recommend bracing systems that minimize base shear while providing significant displacement for different earthquake zones. By strengthening conventional staging systems, these findings contribute to the seismic resilience of elevated storage tanks [3,4]. Elevated water storage tanks are essential for urban areas, ensuring a constant water supply. Proper design and seismic analysis are crucial to their reliable performance during natural disasters [6,7].
