Abstract
: A water tank serves as a reservoir for supplying drinking water to households, cooling for industrial processes, and irrigation in specific regions for agricultural purposes. These tanks are categorized based on their shapes and structural placement. This research focuses on underground water tanks of both rectangular and circular shapes, subjecting them to varying loads and soil conditions. The study includes assessments of different types of stresses such as shear force, bending moment, and axial load. The objective is to evaluate how tanks with distinct shapes but identical heights and different capacities perform in these conditions. The primary objectives are to analyze the shear force, bending moment, and axial force distribution in both tank shapes under different loading conditions and capacities. The study concludes that rectangular tanks exhibit higher shear force, and axial force compared to circular tanks, and these forces are influenced by both tank shape and capacity. The findings provide valuable insights into the underground water tanks with varying geometric and loading conditions.
