Water tanks and especially the elevated water tanks are structures of high importance which are considered as main lifeline elements that should be capable of keeping the expected performance i.e. operation during and after earthquakes. Thus researchers, in recent years, have focused on studying seismic behaviors of these tanks, particularly ground tanks, while only few of these researches have concerned with the elevated tanks and even less with the reinforced concrete elevated tanks. In this research, a sample of a concrete elevated water tank with 400 m3 have been studied and analyzed by linear dynamic method and seismic response such as base shear, tank displacement, max Bending Moment at the base of column under tank reinforced empty condition, tank full condition and tank half full condition for different type of bracing arrangements have bee...

High reinforced concrete retaining walls may be used economically by providing relief shelves on the back fill side of the wall. Such walls are termed as the retaining wall with relief shelf.Providing one or more relief platforms or shelves, extending them to the rupture surface have an advantage of decreasing the overall lateral earth pressure on the wall and increasing the stability of the structure. This results in an economical design because less material goes into the wall as compared to massive structure of cantilever or even counterfort retaining walls without shelves. The study of such type of retaining wall is therefore important to see its performance. This type of wall is some what un-noticed structure. Very few literature is available on this type of retaining wall. This book presents an experimental study performed on a steel plate model of retaining wall (IMRW) with and without sh...
