Abstract: Intake towers are typically tall, hollow, reinforced concrete structures and form entrance to reservoir outlet works. A parametric study on dynamic behavior of circular cylindrical towers can be carried out to study the effect of depth of submergence, wall thickness and slenderness ratio, and also effect on tower considering dynamic analysis for time history function of different soil condition and by Goyal and Chopra accounting interaction effects of added hydrodynamic mass of surrounding and inside water in intake tower of dam

Keywords: Hydrodynamic mass, Depth of submergence, Reservoir, Time history analysis,
