Elevated water storage tanks are used to store water for fire protection and potable drinking water within a designated area or community. Elevated tanks allow the natural force of gravity to produce consistent water pressure throughout the system. Based on the intended application and needs of the...
Towers offer steel support structures for all size water tanks. This includes the design of the structure as well as the manufacturing and delivery to site. Water tank towers are widely used in Africa. The main countries are Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Sudan and so o...
Elevated Storage TanksAssessing the condition of existing structures, with a particular focus on analysing the degradation level, is a complex issue for those responsible for maintenance and monitoring. Elevated storage tanks (water towers) are particularly prone to suffering obsolescence and degradation....

In the absence of data the maximum daily consumption can be taken as 180–200% of the annual average. The main functions of elevated storage tanks in order of importance are: • To discharge water into the mains during peak loads, thus raising thehydraulic grade linein nearby distribution ...
Passive energy dissipation-based retrofit strategies for R/C frame water towers Pre-normative elevated liquid storage tanks with reinforced concrete (R/C) frame staging are among the most seismically vulnerable structures in urban area... S Sorace,G Terenzi,C Mori - 《Engineering Structures》 被引...
ELEVATED TANKS A common configuration of storage tanks in municipal water supply systems is the elevated type to provide the required head for water distribution. These structures consist of two main parts: a tower and a vessel. The former can be a steel braced frame, a multi-column assembly,...
Elevated storage tanks (water towers) are particularly prone to suffering obsolescence and degradation. As many of these structures are no longer in use and in a poor state of conservation, researchers and local administrators need new tools to achieve a complete overview of the tank condition on...
In conjunction with evolutionary-based optimization procedures, finite element modeling techniques were used to design conical steel water tanks on elevated towers [12] and rectangular RC reservoirs [13]. However, most of the approaches found in the literature were not suitable to be implemented in ...
