The Indian Standard “Criteria for Earthquake Resistant Design of Structures: IS 1893-1984” was revised in 2002. Areas in earthquake zone 1 were merged to earthquake zone 2 and the place Killari is now in earthquake zone 3. The seismic zone factors have also changed. Response spectra are specified for 3 types of founding soil strata and a response reduction factor was been introduced. Elevated water tanks are vulnerable to earthquake, owing to large mass concentrated at the top of a relatively slender supporting structure. In this paper, existing elevated steel water tanks in India designed using IS 1893-1984 was checked for safety as per revised code (IS 1893-2002) by carrying out static and forced dynamic analysis.
