3. Problem Statement:
Intze container of previous example is considered to be supported on 15 m high hollow RC shaft with
reinforcement in two curtains. Grade of concrete and steel are M20 and Fe415, respectively. Site of the tank
has hard soil in seismic zone IV. Density of concrete is 25 kN/m 3. Analyze the tank for seismic loads.
Solution:
Tank will be analysed for tank full and empty conditions.

Example 3/Page 2
Shaft is considered to have reinforcement in two Similarly, base shear in convective mode,
curtains both horizontally and vertically. Hence R
Vc = (Ah)c mc g ( Section 4.6.2)
is taken as 1.8. ( Table 2)
= 0.06 x 1,09,933 x 9.81
Here, Ti = 0.25 sec,
= 65 kN
Site has hard soil,
Total base shear at the bottom of staging,
Damping = 5%, ( Section 4.4)
Hence, (Sa /g)i = 2.5 V = Vi 2 Vc 2 ( Section
