The post contains an attachment containing the seismic analysis of the over head water tank, performed by using guidelines of ACI 350.3-06. The report doesn't address every structural component, but can serve as reference for anyone who wants to check the frame-supported overhead water tank for seismic forces.

Assalamoalaikum Dear Fellows The gathering was a nice wonderful meeting. Summary of the meeting i share for the SEFP members who wanted to attend but couldn't manage to appear. Gathering took place in F-7 markaz, islamabad, at 630pm, 10Dec, 2016. Seven members(Mr. Umar Makhzumi(Admin), Mr. Badar Ali Zeshan(Moderator), Mr. Uzair, Mr. Asad ishaq, Mr.Abdul Qadeer, Mr. Junaid shah and Mr. Waqar Saleem(Moderator)) managed to attend the meeting. Number is small but weightage is very high, it was intended to break the ice. we met at the entrance of Saeed Book Bank and after gathering went to a nearby hotel, ordered food and had many discussions.Discussion topics included how to improve the structural engineering profession, how a service structure for structural engineers should be introduced, SEFP advertising to different forums, at conferences and universities, registration of SEFP with PEC for CPD points, a book/magazine publishing annually/six monthly, improvement of the SEFP role for learning, inviting senior structural engineers to participate in training and guiding the young structural engineers. These are some topics which i could recall shortly.Food was shared. Prime requirement of SEFP is advertisement to structural engineering community and registration with PEC as Engineering Body, whose registration and active participation can provide CPD to structural engineers. if i have missed anything important can be added by meeting participants please. It was a unique experience and i thank all participants especially Umar sab, Badar Ali Zeshan sab, Uzair sab. Regards
