Earthquake Engineering Sectional Committee, CED 39
FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 2) (Fifth Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft
finalized by the Earthquake Engineering Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering
Division Council.
In the fifth revision IS 1893 has been split into five parts. The other parts in the series are:
Part 1
Part 3
Part 4
Part 5
General provisions and buildings
Bridges and retaining walls
Industrial structures including stack like structures
Dams and embankments
Part 1 contains provisions that are general in nature and applicable to all types of structures. It also contains
provisions that are specific to buildings only. Unless stated otherwise, the provisions in Part 2 to Part 5 shall be
read in conjunction with the general provisions in Part 1.
This standard (Part 2) contains provisions for liquid retaining tanks. Unless otherwise stated, this standard shall
be read necessarily in conjunction with IS 1893 (Part 1) : 2002.
As compared to provisions of IS 1893 : 1984, in this standard following important provisions and changes have
been incorporated:
a) Analysis of ground supported tanks is included.
b) For elevated tanks, the single degree of freedom idealization of tank is done away with; instead a twodegree of freedom idealization is used for analysis.
c) Bracing beam flexibility is explicitly included in the calculation of lateral stiffness of tank staging.
d) The effect of convective hydrodynamic pressure is included in the analysis.
e) The distribution of impulsive and convective hydrodynamic pressure is represented graphically for
convenience in analysis; a simplified hydrodynamic pressure distribution is also suggested for stress
analysis of the tank wall.
f) Effect of vertical ground acceleration on hydrodynamic pressure is considered.
g) Quality control measures considered necessary in deign and construction of reinforced concrete tanks
for achieving safe performance under normal as well as seismic conditions are also included.
The units used with the items covered by the symbols shall be consistent throughout this standard, unless specifically
noted otherwise.
In the formulation of this standard due weightage has been given to international coordination among the standards
and practices prevailing in different countries in addition to relating it to the practices in the field of this country.
In the formulation of this standard considerable help has been taken by the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur,
Institute of Technology Roorkee, Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology, Nagpur and several other
organizations including Guidelines prepared by IIT, Kanpur for GSDMA.
Reference has been made to the following documents in the formulation of this standard:
a)
ACI 350.3, 2001, ‘Seismic design of liquid containing concrete structures’, American Concrete Institute,
Farmington Hill, MI, USA.
b) Eurocode 8, 1998, ‘Design provisions for earthquake resistance of structures, Part 1 General rules and
Part 4 – Silos, tanks and pipelines’, European Committee for Standardization, Brussels.

4.1 General
Hydrodynamic forces exerted by liquid on tank wall
shall be considered in the analysis in addition to
hydrostatic forces. These hydrodynamic forces are
evaluated with the help of spring mass model of tanks.
For tank full as well as empty conditions, tank shall be
analysed for all the load combinations as per IS 1893
(Part 1). For load combination with seismic load, the
amount of liquid considered in the tank shall be normal
liquid level under service condition only.

IS 1893 (Part 2) : 2014

hydrostatic pressure. In order to include the effect of
hydrodynamic pressure in the analysis, tank can be
idealized by an equivalent spring mass model, which
includes the effect of tank wall-liquid interaction. The
parameters of this model depend on geometry of the
tank.
4.2.1 Ground Supported Tank
4.2.1.1 Ground supported tanks can be idealized as
spring-mass model shown in Fig. 1. The impulsive
mass of liquid, mi is rigidly attached to tank wall at
height hi (or hi*). Similarly, convective mass, mc is
attached to the tank wall at height hc (or hc*) by a spring
of stiffness Kc.

Kc shall be obtained from Fig. 2 and for rectangular
tanks these parameters shall be obtained from Fig. 3.
hi and hc account for hydrodynamic pressure on the
tank wall only and the tank base. Hence, the value of
hi and hc shall be used to calculate moment due to
hydrodynamic pressure at the bottom of the tank wall.
The value of h*i and h*c shall be used to calculate
overturning moment at the base of tank.
(b) Height of Impulsive and Convective Masses

behaving as an inverted pendulum with lateral stiffness
equal to that of the staging, K s and the other
representing the convective mass with a spring of
stiffness, Kc.

In case of rectangular tank, the same expression may
be used with L instead of D.
In absence of more refined analysis, time period of
vertical mode of vibration for all types of tank may be
taken as 0.3 s.

4.10.2 The maximum value of hydrodynamic pressure
should be obtained by combining pressure due to
horizontal and vertical excitation through square root
of sum of squares (SRSS) rule, which can be given as:
P=

5.1 Two Mass Idealization
The rational method of analysis using the two masses
– impulsive and convective – as presented in 4.1 to 4.12
may be used for determining the seismic design forces
on ground supported as well as elevated water tanks
of any capacity and material of construction namely,
reinforced concrete or steel.
+ Pcw2 + Pv2
4.11 Sloshing Wave Height
Maximum sloshing wave height is given by:
a)
For circular tank:
dmax = (Ah)c R
5.2 One Mass Approximation
D

In the light of the on going practice for construction of
large number of water tanks, it is considered expedient
to permit the option of one mass idealization, in certain
cases, as stated here below, in which the whole water
mass is taken as if in impulsive mode.
b) For rectangular tank:
dmax = (Ah)c R

5.2.1 Ground supported or elevated liquid retaining
RC structure of up to and including 1 000 kl capacity,
wall of the container if in concrete, which can be
regarded as rigid.
where
(Ah)c = design horizontal seismic coefficient
corresponding to convective time period.
Circular ground supported tanks shall be anchored to
their foundation (see Fig. 13) when
5.2.2 Wall in steel may not be regarded as rigid, hence
for design of steel tanks by one mass model, the
capacity should not exceed 200 kl and h/D or h/L
should be 0.4 or higher.

∆ Effect
6.5 P-∆
shall be assumed to act at centre of gravity of the whole
water mass.
All staging of columns and braces (or beams) for
elevated tanks shall be designed for P-∆ effect.
5.2.4 The design shall be worked out both when the
tank is full and when empty. When empty, the weight
W used in the design shall consist of the dead load of
the tank and one-third the weight of the staging lumped
at the centre of gravity of the tank. When full, the
weight of the fluid contents is to be added to the weight
under empty conditions.
7 AESTHETICS
Elevated water tanks are prominently in public view
and visible from near as well as long distances. They
often become landmarks on the landscape. It is
therefore important that the shape and form of the
container and the supporting structure must receive due
attention from the point of aesthetics. Innovations in
the shape and form should be encouraged when they
improve the ambience and enhance the quality of the
environment.
6 MISCELLANEOUS
6.1 Piping
Piping system connected to tanks should be given
consideration of potential vibration and movement at
the pipe joints during earthquakes, and sufficient
flexibility should be introduced by proper detailing of
pipe joints to avoid de-function. Piping system and its
connection to the tank should be designed to comply
with the assumptions made and the likely performance;
merely neglecting the weight of piping system may
not be adequate in all cases.
Where unusual shapes and forms for supporting
structures are used, the designer may use some
discretion in choosing the value of response reduction
factor R consistent with expected seismic performances
and ductility. It will be incumbent on the designer,
however, to justify the choice of R value vis-à-vis the
seismic safety.
8 QUALITY CONTROL IN REINFORCED
CONCRETE TANKS
The piping system shall be designed so as not to impart
significant mechanical loading on tank. Local loads at
pipe connections can be considered in the design of
the tank. Mechanical devices, which add flexibility to
piping such as bellows, expansion joints and other
special couplings, may be used in the connections.
Quality control in design and constructions are
particularly important for elevated tanks in view of
several collapses of water tanks during testing. It is
necessary that quality of materials and construction
tolerances are strictly adhered to during construction
phase. Some construction tolerances and detailing are
listed below. The information given is not exhaustive
and designers and construction engineers are expected
to have competence to take adequate measures to
ensure required structural performance.
6.2 Buckling of Shell
Ground supported tanks (particularly, steel tanks) shall
be checked for failure against buckling of tank walls
under vertical board. Similarly, safety of shaft type of
staging of elevated tanks against buckling shall be
ensured.
NOTE — The design/construction details for reinforced
concrete tanks should strictly follow IS 456, IS 3370 (Parts 1 to
4), and IS 11682. The recommendations are made here to ensure
safety under normal as well as service loads.
6.3 Buried Tanks
Dynamic earth pressure shall be taken into account
while computing the base shear of a partially or fully
buried tank. Earth pressure shall also be considered in
the design of walls. In buried tanks, dynamic earth
pressure shall not be relied upon to reduce dynamic
effects due to liquid.
8.1 RC Frame Staging
8.1.1 Columns
a)
Minimum size of column should be 400 mm
(diameter and/or side of rectangular column)
except for tanks having 200 m 3 or less
capacity, columns of 300 mm size may be
used.
b) Clear height of column between braces should
not be more than ten times the size of column.
c) Reinforcement detailing including overlaps
in longitudinal bars should follow as shown
in IS 13920.
d) During construction and casting of columns,
some eccentricity in the verticality of column
6.4 Shear Transfer
The lateral earthquake force generates shear between
wall and base slab and between roof and wall. Wallto-base slab, wall-to-roof slab and wall-to-wall joints
shall be suitably designed to transfer shear forces.
Similarly in elevated tanks, connection between
container and staging should be suitably designed to

less than 0.2 percent of concrete area in
vertical section. Since vertical reinforcement
is provided in two layers, circumferential
reinforcement shall be divided equally in two
layers. The spacing of circumferential bars in
each layer shall not be more than 300 mm or
shell thickness, whichever is less.
Circumferential reinforcement shall be placed
nearer the faces of shell.
c) At horizontal construction joints in shaft, one
additional layer of vertical bars projecting on
either side of the joint with Ld anchorage
length shall be provided. Continuity of
concreting at construction joint shall be done
with application of neat cement slurry.
d) Openings in shaft % Detailing of shaft at the
opening shall take into consideration effective
continuity of reinforcement at all sides. More
information on detailing near openings is
given in IS 11682. At vertical edges of door
opening stiffeners may be required.
e) In the tank ring beams, reinforcement bars in
direct tension shall have lap length twice the
development length in tension. The spliced
length of the ring beams in tension shall be
enclosed in spirals made of bars not less than
6 mm dia with pitch not more than 100 mm,
or enclosed in stirrups of 8 mm dia with pitch
not more than 150 mm, the stirrups shall have
135° hooks bent into the core concrete with
minimum 50 mm extension. If diameter is
more than 22 mm, couplers may be used.

be provided as per IS 4326.
8.2. RC Shaft Staging
8.2.1
a)
Thickness of Shaft
Minimum thickness of shaft shall be suitable
for constructability which depends on height
of formwork for one lift of concrete.
Minimum thickness of shaft shall be 150 mm
for shaft diameter up to 4 m. For larger
diameter shafts, following equations shall be
used to arrive at minimum thickness:
1) For shafts with diameter less than 8 m,
tmin = 150 + (D – 4 000)/80 mm
2) For shafts with diameter equal to or
greater than 8 m,
tmin = 200 + (D – 8 000)/120 mm
where
D = diameter of shaft, in mm.
b) Additional thickening of shaft and extra
vertical and circumferential reinforcement
shall be provided at top and bottom level of
shaft (that is, at junctions with foundation and
with container). This is required to account
for secondary moments and eccentricities.
Additional vertical and circumferential
reinforcement shall be same as that required
as per design calculations.
a) Vertical Alignment — The centre point of
shaft shall not vary from its vertical axis by
more than 0.2 percent of shaft height.
b) Over any height of 1.6 m, wall of shaft shall
not be out of plumb by more than 10 mm.
c) Shaft diameter — The measured centerline
diameter of shaft at any section shall not vary
from the specified diameter by more than
20 mm plus 0.1 percent of the specified
theoretical diameter.
d) Shaft thickness — The measured wall
thickness shall not vary from the specified
wall thickness by more than –5 mm or
+10 mm.
8.2.4 Mat Foundation
8.2.2 Reinforcement in Shaft
a)
Minimum vertical reinforcement shall be 0.25
percent of concrete area. The reinforcement
shall be provided in two layers. The minimum
diameter of vertical bars shall be 10 mm.
Maximum centre-to-centre distance between
vertical reinforcement in each layer shall not
exceed 300 mm.
In case of mat foundations, lifting of mat on tension
side can be allowed at soil contact. The maximum
eccentricity at base may be permitted up to 0.25 times
the base diameter provided the maximum compression
remains within permissible limits.

one-third the bars shall be spliced at any one
section.
a)
In the tank ring beams, reinforcement bars in
direct tension shall have lap length twice the
development length in tension. The spliced
length of the ring beams in tension shall be
enclosed in spirals made of bars not less than
6 mm diameter with pitch not more than 100
mm, or enclosed in stirrups of 8 mm diameter
with pitch not more than 150 mm, the stirrups
shall have 135° hooks bent into the core
concrete with minimum 50 mm extension.
b) In tank wall or shaft, not more than one-third
of vertical bars shall be spliced at any section.
For circumferential bars, lap length shall be
8.4 Strong Column – Weak Beam
For column and beam type of staging of elevated tank,
sum of moment of resistance of column at a junction
should not be less than 1.1 times the sum of moment
of resistance of beams in any one plane taken at a time.
This check is to be applied by limit state method.
