A Study on Dynamic Response of Hyperbolic Cooling Tower for Fixed Base Condition

Hyperbolic Cooling towers are the portraying area characteristics of power station. Hyperbolic cooling towers rank among the largest reinforced concrete thin shell structures. They contribute both to an effective vitality yield and to a cautious offset with our condition. These structures are most effective measures for cooling of thermal power plants by limiting the need of water and maintaining a strategic distance from warm contamination of water bodies. The present day cooling towers are exceptional structures in view their sheer size and complexities. Present paper deals with study of Dynamic response that is modal analysis, seismic analysis of the two different cooling towers varying the H/D ratio and thicknesses with fixity at the base boundary condition. Results show that there is a significant effect on structural elements for the earthquake behavior of Hyperbolic Cooling towers.
