Seismic Upgrade of a 3MG Steel Elevated Water Tank
This paper describes the seismic analysis and design procedures used for the seismic upgrade of an existing 3,000,000 gallon (11,355,000 liters) steel elevated water tank supported by a steel framework in Sacramento, California. The initial seismic upgrade design consisted of a base isolation system. The final seismic upgrade design incorporates a passive energy dissipation system in the braces of the framework to create a friction damped braced frame. The seismic upgrade using the friction damped braced frame is compared with the originally proposed base isolation retrofit scheme.
