Static Analysis of Interlocked Water Tower

In the areas prone to natural disasters, ability of lifeline systems from catastrophic damages is one of the most important challenges in civil engineering. One of the most important structures is elevated water tanks. Most of the damages observed to these structures under seismic events are due to the improper design and wrong selection of supporting system. This paper investigates the suitability of interlocking system for staging of an elevated water tank of higher capacity. As a preliminary study the performance of concrete interlock panelled tower under static condition is analyzed by considering the standard earth gravity under full and empty conditions. The study concludes that the new system can perform in a similar way as that of the conventional system.
