Abstract
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.
