Steel plate shear walls (SPSW) have been used as the primary lateral force resisting system in buildings. Extensive analytical studies on steel plate shear walls in the United States, Canada, Taiwan and other countries have already validated the simple analytical model known as strip model to predict the monotonic behavior of this kind of structural system. However, more research is still neede...

Indonesia is a developing country that experiencing rapid development growth. According to the Central Statistics Agency, in 2020 population of will be 270.20 million people. The increase from year-to-year results increasingly narrow lands for development. Therefore, developers and businesspeople make best use this opportunity world construction by carrying out developments, including high-rise...

Performance based analysis is conducted on a structure to know the performance of building under severe earthquake loads with limited and well-distributed damage. To do this non-linear static called pushover had structure. In paper, an RC both 5 storey 10 designed for gravity resistant using SAP2000 software. Analysis done in X Y direction get damage curve (pushover curve). By studying curve, r...

In this work, we analyze the influence of masonry infill walls on the seismic performance of waffle slabs reinforced concrete (RC) framed structures. We analyze buildings of three, five and eight storeys, which are representative for a big number of housings in Barcelona, Spain. Capacity spectra have been obtained by performing pushover analyses and we have used a simplified procedure to obtain...

An approximate numerical mthod is presented for analysis and determination of modal characteristics in straight, pretwisted non-unifom helicopter blades. The analysis considers the coupled flapwise bending (out of plane), chordwise bending (in plane), and torsion vibration of both rotating and non-rotating blades. The proposed method is based on the integral expansion of Green functions (struct...

Well-known methods for seismic performance assessment, such as incremental dynamic analysis (IDA), multi-stripes (MSA) and the cloud method, involve nonlinear response time-history analyses to characterize relationship between chosen damage measure versus intensity measure. Over past two decades, many authors have proposed simplified procedures or static approaches develop fragility. In these p...
