Abstract — In present investigation the structural monitoring of elevated tank is performed considering non – destructive testing, the visual inspection is firstly done in elevated water situated in boring road patna, the different apparatus are used to identify the weaker zones in elevated water tank, those are half cell potentiometer for corrosion investigation, rebound hammer for surface hardness, profometer for strength of structure. The testing is performed and results obtained during structural monitoring are further recommended for retrofitting of elevated water tank in its different zone i.e. columns, upper dome and beams of elevated water tank structure.

Keywords— Non – destructive testing, elevated concrete water tank , retrofitting.
