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...

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...

This study aimed to investigate whether the seismic fragility and performance of interaction soil-pile-structure (ISPS) were affected by different parameters: axial load, a section pile, longitudinal steel ratio pile implanted in type sand (loose, medium, dense). In order better understand ISPS phenomena, series nonlinear static analysis have been conducted for two cases, namely: (i) fixed syst...
