Earthquakes are a high-risk natural phenomenon in Indonesia, which is between three tectonic plates: the Eurasian, Pacific, and Indo–Australian plates. This study examines response of bored piles with asymmetrical pile cap Auditorium Building Brawijaya University to seismic loads, still rare conduct this research. assessed based on 3D finite element-numerical approach, where lateral resistance ...

An innovative type called "butterfly-shaped links steel plate shear wall (BLSPSW)" was proposed as a lateral load resisting system. In this novel system, by creating butterfly-shaped links in the four sides of the web plate, the lateral load resisting mechanism is not the development of a diagonal tension field on the web plate (similar to Conventional SPSWs), but the capacity of the system is ...

In order to study pressed pile test and ultimate bearing capacity character of large-diameter steel pipe pile, based on two high-piled wharfs of Zhanjiang Port, pressed pile test and numerical simulation of three large-diameter steel pipe piles are analyzed in this paper. Anchored pile method is used to pressed pile test, and the curves of Q-s and ultimate bearing capacity are attained. Then th...

Nowadays, steel shear walls are used as efficient lateral-load-resistant systems due to their high lateral stiffness and carrying capacity. In this paper, the effect of substituting a shape memory alloy (SMA) material is investigated instead of using conventional steel in the shear wall. A numerical study is conducted using finite element method (FEM) by OpenSees software. For this purpose, at ...

a subject of the investigation is the behavior of concrete and reinforced concrete columns under different loading conditions. the experimental study comprised a great number of tests on hinged - end columns with slenderness ratio within 35 and 155 subjected to both short and long - time loads applied at different eccentricities. the strength of concrete and the steel percentage varied in a wid...

This paper presents a proposed static test and numerical study on the mechanical properties of steel-shell–concrete-structure-immersed tunnel nodes, which is used to investigate seismic performance damage mechanism nodes. The based immersed tube project in deep China channel, nodes representing outermost innermost vertical walls tunnel, i.e., L-shaped T-shaped node specimens, were designed fabr...

When compared to traditional reinforced concrete constructions on level surfaces, buildings situated hills with slopes require additional consideration, particularly when seismic loading is an important factor. In hilly slopes, the ground-level columns of structures have different heights due nature slope, which leads a short column effect. This paper represents experimental and analytical inve...

The introduction of carbon-fibre reinforced plastics in load bearing automotive structures provides a great potential to reduce vehicle weight and fuel consumption. A reduction in overall manufacturing cost can be realised through part integration and use of cost-effective materials such as heavy tow carbon fibre. There is a current drive within the automotive industry to develop the technologi...

Thin plate structures are more widely used in many engineering applications as one of the structural members. Generally, buckling strength of thin shell structures is the ultimate load carrying capacity of these structures. The presence of cracks in a thin shell structure can considerably affect its load carrying capacity. Hence, in this work, static buckling strength of a thin square plate wit...

The ultimate lateral resistance of free- and fixed-headed piles in cohesive soil is examined this paper using the three-dimensional finite element limit analysis with upper lower bound theorems. A special concern, that novelty study, devoted to combined effect three important dimensionless parameters; namely, overburden stress factor (n), pile length-diameter ratio (L/D), eccentric length diame...
