Slab-on-pile SOP viaducts have been constructed on several highways and railways in Indonesia, but there are certain doubts about some practical structural seismic design concepts. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the performance of a single spun pile column for viaduct using nonlinear analysis. The essential variables used include effect top reinforced concrete infill treatment, soil-...

Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA) procedure is now considered as a robust tool for estimating the seismic sidesway collapse capacity of structures. However, the procedure is time-consuming and requires numerous nonlinear response-history analyses. This paper proposes a simplified Modal Pushover Analysis (MPA) procedure for IDA of RC moment-resisting frames. The proposed method uses the dynamic...

Direct Displacement-Based Design (DDBD) is a performence-based seismic design method that has been proposed and well developed over the past two decades to design RC frame structures, shear walls and bridges. In this method, the behavior of a multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) sysytem is approximaeted by an equivalent single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) substitute structure. Although this method has be...

Construction of building omitting an infill wall mostly in ground floor and other floors has led a to face soft story failure mechanism. This omission is for commercial purposes parking vehicles floor. In this study, study on the behavior structure done when happens different levels. A explained as per NBC 201 205 taken into consideration. Soft assigned all responses separately. An equivalent d...

Abstract—Various retrofit techniques for reinforced concrete frame with infill wall have been steadily developed. Among those techniques, strengthening methodology based on diagonal FRP strips (FRP bracings) has numerous advantages such as feasibility of implementing without interrupting the building under operation, reduction of cost and time, and easy application. Considering the safety of st...

in the conventional design and analysis methods affecting parameters (loads, materials'strength, etc) are not set as probable variables. safety factors in the current codes andstandards are usually obtained on the basis of judgment and experience, which may beimproper or uneconomical. in technical literature, a method based on nonlinear static analysisis suggested to set reliability index on st...

This study compares the seismic performance and environmental impact of a social housing structure designed with reinforced concrete using Guadua angustifolia “Kunth” cane. The aim is to contrast implementation an ecological material such as cane, which accessible alternative due its cost construction time, versus traditional (RC) method. Both applied structures. both methods analyzed through n...
