Abstract Indonesia is located at the confluence of three main tectonic plates which makes it one countries with highest earthquake risk in world. Recorded experiences has showed that cause damage to buildings particularly multi-storey building structures. The purpose this study determine performance level reinforced concrete structures using a performance-based design method based on ATC-40 and...

William MoGowan, region president, made the plea for communications, urging member chapters to build a "twoway street" with region officers in handling CSBA problems. I t was Mr. McGowan's first full conference as region president and he appealed to the members to "let me know your problems . . . or I'll be yelling at you." A plea for positive thinking was sounded by Theodore C. Wenzl, CSEA sta...

In this paper, Endurance Time Analysis (ETA) method which is a new time-history based dynamic pushover procedure is introduced and its application in linear analysis of concrete arch dams is investigated. In this method the structure is subjected to gradually intensifying acceleration functions and its performance is evaluated based on the length of the time duration that can satisfy required p...

Midto high-rise buildings are often braced by slender reinforced concrete (RC) walls, which are coupled by RC floor diaphragms. In design it is typically assumed that the walls act independently and the design base shear demand is computed neglecting any compatibility forces between the walls. Pushover analysis of systems comprising walls of different lengths have, however, shown that large com...

The primary focus of this study is to evaluate the nonlinear response reinforced concrete (RC) frames with two types brick infills viz., unreinforced masonry infill (URM) and semi-interlocked (SIM) together lintel beams, subjected seismic loads. quantified in terms reduction factor base shear. Infill walls are modeled using double strut cyclic element. Nonlinear static adaptive pushover analysi...

During earthquakes, the most prone to damage or collapse are concrete structures. The structure's behavior during earthquakes depends mainly on its shape, size, and geometry. An attempt is made understand seismic response of Underground Rectangular Water tank structure subjected Nonlinear static loading. To predict building structures severe Pushover analysis has been frequently utilized. It ne...
