ONSONGO BRIAN :
water tanks together with their contents are considered quasi permanent loads therefore considered dead loads. though the designer should design for when full and when empty since they have different impacts more so when designing for wind.

dead loads def
consider the stress of water to be always there,
same load out same load in.

The Guide. :
I'd take it as dead load and design at full capacity...the water only varies interms of capacity but it's not moving... it's still

They are dead loads because they were incorporated unmovable loads to endure so long as the building endures

Self weight of the water tank should be considered dead load while the water should be considered live load

those are live loads if the columns were designed without them in mind but if stipulated during design then they are dead loads

For me it needs to be considered as live load as they vary during the service period of the building. Thanks.

They are live loads because the loads keep changing with varying water levels

They are considered dead loads because their maximum load does not change.

I think when designing , we design for full capacity tanks.. and design as dead loads

Dead load because maximum capacity is know they are designed to be refilled continuously to facilitate continuous water supply. Picture them like wc cistern. The water refills immediately after flashing

Look :
They should be considered dead loads because they get full. Their load should be taken at the max weight.
