Abstract: The Seismic analysis of an Underground water tank with reinforced concrete staging structure is analyzed in this paper, UG tank are used for storage of fluid for different use as per requirement. As we know that earth quake can occurring any time anywhere which may cause a saviour damage to our structure which may leads to loss of economy and life. To reduce Effect and minimize the consequence of seismic wave we may design our structure according to IS code provision. The time-history assessment study, carried out by a detailed finite element simulation of the UG water tank. For the study of nonlinear dynamic analysis we have used SAP 2000 software for different seismic intensity. The result of the study shows the deflected shape of tank at different condition considered as empty and full. Time history method becomes necessary to ensure safety against earthquake forces.
