Abstract - Water storage structures are very susceptible to damages due to corrosion. Assessment of the health of structure

and suggesting action to improve the condition of the existing structure is very important to make structure withstand against future possible earthquake. Non-destructive testing has a wide role in identifying the damage and deterioration in structure. There is a lot of research on assessing the damage and deterioration of the old structure and making the structure seismically efficient, but a proper and systematic method of investigation concerning different phases of structural deterioration using advanced non-destructive testing is required. This paper deals with the condition ranking of existing elevated service reservoir by finding condition index (CI) of structure using advanced NDT by considering three phases of deterioration (1) depassivation (2) cracking and (3) spalling of concrete. For corrosion analysis due to depassivation DER i.e., Degree (D), extend (E) and Relevancy (R) rating and for cracking analysis Ultrasonic pulse velocity test and for spalling of concrete spalling Severity index table was used to find out condition index of elevated service reservoir (ESR). For condition assessment of structure half-cell potentiometer, rebar locator, rebound hammer test, and ultrasonic pulse velocity test was conducted. Key Words: NDT, DER rating, Condition ranking, Condition index, Elevated service reservoir.

1. INTRODUCTION The structure used to store water or coming in contact with water throughout life is susceptible to corrosion due to water and environmental factors such as humidity, moisture, carbon dioxide, and chloride. corrosion leads to deterioration such as loss of rebar cross-sectional area, loss of strength of the structure, formation of cracks, and spalling of concrete which causes the failure of the structure before the end of service life. To prevent failing and enhance the condition of the structure timely maintenance is required. But finding the exact method and location for maintenance such as repair, retrofit, rehabilitation or reconstruction is very difficult using only visual observation. It required some proper and systematic methods of investigation. To overcome this problem lot of research was carried out to obtain in-situ conditions of the structure. Uniform Evaluation Procedures of Condition ranking for deteriorated Structures and current inspection and rating system defines a condition index which converts the physical state of the structure into quantitative values and gives guidelines for the maintenance and repair of the structures [1]. The functional condition index is used to assess the level of deterioration in the form of CI and calculated CI values comparatively near to the expert opinion expected values. The method of CI is reliable and economical for condition assessment of the structure [4]. DER rating technique is employed to search out the condition index of elevated service reservoir with the assistance of condition ranking procedure supported on the Analytical hierarchy process (AHP). The ranking assessment using condition index value for elevated service reservoir structure had been carried out using different Non-destructive tests and the DER rating technique helps to find out the level of deterioration [6]. Visual inspection and Non-Destructive testing are useful to deal with Major Repairs and Restoration of old deteriorated structures [8]. Failures of ESR due to collapse of supporting systems, insufficient maintenance without considering the sloshing effect, the demand of seismic forces, and improper arrangement of supporting elements to deal with this seismic analysis using software SAP 2000 of the tank is run by considering Uttarkashi earthquake [9]. Through various researches, it has been found that the level of deterioration is considered only due to the depassivation in the initial phase of corrosion which further causes cracking because the resulting rust of rebar occupies a greater volume than the original. Expansion due to an increase in volume creates tensile stresses in the concrete member
