The tank is considered two degrees of freedom system with a large mass is located at the top of supported system or frame supported system. The behavior of tank under earthquake loading is greatly depending on the staging height and seismic zones. And also seismic forces dependent on staging height. Present studying is shown the effect of staging height on seismic behavior of R.C elevated rectangular water tank. The elevated water tank has 300 m3 capacity, various staging height such as (6m, 9m, 12m, 15m, 18m and 21m) and also different seismic zones such as II, III, IV & V were studied in STAAD.pro analysis package and Excel sheet developed program. The spring mass model subjected two degrees of freedom as per IS 1893 (part2):2006 draft code. Analysis carried out by considering the liquid mass is divided into two parts consisting of the convective and impulsive masses. Parameter of studying such as maximum displacement, maximum base shear, maximum overturning moment,quantity of concrete and amount of reinforcement for different staging height and seismic zones.in the case of studying for finding out maximum base shear and overturning momentby using Excel sheet and maximum displacement, quantity of concrete and quantity of reinforcement with STAAD.pro analysis package were used and the result of the studying were plotted in the graphs.
