A Detailed Review of Elevated Storage Reservoir with Reference to IS: 3370 and IS: 1893

In India more than 68% of its total population lives in rural area. Domestic water is a major problem in these areas, so as to solve this problem innovative design and strategies and solution to existing problem is essential, hence for that study of Elevated Storage Reservoir (ESR) is undertaking. There are so many case studies and report on failure during and post construction of ESR in recent years. The purpose of the study of the ESR is to design and build safe and economical ESR, where in the damage to the structure and its structural components even by natural hazard such as earthquake can be minimized. This paper is aimed at reviewing presently available literature study of ESR behavior according to geometrical shape and comparative study of design of water tank by Limit state Method (LSM) and Working Stress Method (WSM) with reference to IS: 3370. With different storage capacities, different geometrical shapes of water tanks are recommended. The work also aims at checking adequacy of water tank supported on shafts and R.C.C framed structure subjected to seismic excitations.
