Abstract One of the most extensively utilized structural control devices is viscoelastic damper (VD), and significant study has gone into enhancing their efficiency in structures. The mechanical response a VD supplied with silicone rubber as material (SRD) under various loading conditions investigated this research. A conventional SRD, which made up dual layers mounted between three steel plate...

Progressive collapse assessment of a reinforced concrete (RC) building designed only for gravity loads and lacking dedicated lateral load resisting system was carried out using the alternate path (ALP) method finite element (FEM) numerical model created in software SAP2000. Plastic hinge capacity members evaluated considering flexure (M), axial force (N) shear (V) interaction validated procedur...

Structures close to causative earthquake faults may exhibit substantially different seismic responses than those recorded away from the excitation source. In near-fault zone, long duration intense velocity pulses can induce unexpected demands on isolated buildings. This study investigates performance of a five-storey building frame with shape memory alloy based friction pendulum system (SMA-FPS...

The city of Banda Aceh is an area located between two active faults, namely, the segment and Seulimuem fault. In 2004, earthquake measuring 9.3 on Richter Scale rocked Aceh, followed by a tsunami Burma Plate. As result, almost all school buildings were damaged. This study aims to determine vulnerability in City hazards from capacity building structure, so that level damage obtained developed fr...

Steel I beams or girders with sinusoidal corrugated profile webs have become popular in the recent development of steel structural designs, since corrugated-web (CWBs) can provide better performance terms less deformation and more stability against buckling failure. It is verified previous research that CWBs be considered as an alternative to replace normal designs their numerous favourable fea...

Based on the application of a beam-column joint with replaceable energy-dissipating elements and hinged proposed by author, seismic performance fully assembled steel frame this was investigated in paper. Through two projects traditional (TSF) an applying joints (ASFWREE) their numerical simulation calculation SAP2000, main structural design indicators such as natural vibration period, period ra...

Inadequate seismic performance of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings is frequently encountered in earthquake prone countries such as Italy and New Zealand consequently, effective economical retrofit strategies need to be adopted order guarantee safety the preservation URM building stock. The technique studied herein consisted connecting vertical timber elements (strong-backs), interior surfac...

The design of multiple degrees-of-freedom frames is critical in civil engineering, as these structures are commonly used various applications such buildings, bridges, and industrial structures. In this study, a six-degrees-of-freedom beam-column element stiffness matrix was formulated by superposition beam truss elements matrices adapted to statically analyze indeterminate frame development num...
