FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 2) Filth 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 General provisions and buildings
Pat 3 Bridges and retaining walls
Part 4 Industrial structures including stack like structures,
Part 5 Dams and embankments,
Part | 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 S shall be
read in conjunction with the general provisions in Part I
‘This standard (Part 2) contains provisions for liquid retaining tanks. Unless otherwise stated, this standard shall
bbe 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:
8) Analysis of ground supported tanks is included,
)_ For elevated tanks, the single degree of freedom idealization of tank is done away with; instead a two-
degree of freedom idealization is used for analysis.
©) 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
©) 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
Effect of vertical ground acceleration on hydrodynamic pressure is considered,
2) Quality contro! 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 withthe 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.
Inthe 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.

4 PROVISIONS FOR SEISMIC ANALYSIS
4.1 Gener
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.
4.2 Spring Mass Model for Seismic Analysis
When a tank containing liquid vibrates, the liquid exerts
impulsive and convective hydrodynamic pressure onthe tank wall and the tank base in addition to the
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 mode! 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. I. The impulsive
mass of liquid, mis rigidly attached to tank wall at
height h, (ork). Similarly, convective mass, m, is
attached to the tank wall at height fh (ork) by aspring
of stiffness K,
4.2.1.2 Circular and rectangular tank
For circular tanks, parameters mm, My hy Mand
K_ shall be obtained from Fig. 2 and for rectangular
tanks these parameters shall be obtained from Fig, 3,
fh, and f, account for hydrodynamic pressure on the
tank wall only and the tank base. Hence, the value of
fh and ft, shall be used t calculate moment due to
hydrodynamic pressure at the bottom of the tank wall
‘The value of h7 and A? shall be used to calculate
overturning moment at the base of tank,
