Any design of Water Tanks is subjected to Dead Load + Live Load and Wind Load or Seismic Load as per IS codes of Practices. But in past issues maximum water tank damages occur due to the earth quakes. So the seismic analysis of water tank is important as well as wind analysis. The reason for damage of the water tank is due to lack of knowledge about staging or bracing part of the tank which play important part during earth quake. Non-conventional shapes taken for design such as conical with shaft supported, etc. from them select the best water tank for construction with the reference of design parameters So the elevated water tank is analyzed for all seismic zones as per IS: 1893, analysis has been done using STAAD. Pro software and it is checked manually also. The rectangular shape of water tank is general shape and other designed water tanks are compare with rectangle one. In the design seismic forces are calculated considering zone IV.
