Water tanks are very significant components of a lifeline. The design should be based on the worst possible combination of loads, moments, and shears arising from vertical loads and horizontal loads acting on it. They are grave elements in municipal water supply, fire fighting systems, and many Industrial amenities for the storage of water. From the very upsetting experiences of few earthquakes in India, RCC elevated water tanks were profoundly damaged or collapsed. This might be due to the lack of knowledge regarding the proper behavior of a supporting system of the tank. The main aim of this study is to understand the significance of considering earthquake loads in design & the behavior of different staging under different loading conditions type of staging to give an enhanced performance during an earthquake.
