During the analysis of reinforced concrete structures, the infill wall is usually simplified as a diagonal inclined strut to facilitate finite element modeling calculations. However, the actual seismic damage and single frame-filled wall pushover experimental results show that when the earthquake shear force is huge, the top of the infill wall and the beam–column connections are usually, thus t...

Under major load earthquakes, reinforced concrete structures designed according to the current codes will experience an inelastic deformation which is difficult predict and control. Performance-based plastic design (PBPD) methodology applied forward in this study. In method, as performance criteria, target drift yield mechanisms are preselected. Based on work-energy balance principle, base shea...

Indonesia is a country that prone earthquakes. Therefore, knowledge of earthquake-resistant building construction needed in reducing the risk damage caused by There are several methods planning, one which pushover analysis method. Pushover nonlinear static method structure subjected to gravity loading and displacement-controlled lateral loads continue increase through elastic inelastic behavior...

This paper presents recent developments in response sensitivity, probabilistic response and reliability analyses of structural and geotechnical systems. These developments are integrated within general-purpose software frameworks for non-linear finite element response analysis and provide the structural engineers with analytical tools to propagate uncertainties through advanced large-scale non-...

This paper presents the key design points of buckling-restrained braced frames (BRBFs) by using the performance-based plastic design (PBPD) methodology. This method is based on energy-work balance concept and uses pre-selected target drift and yield mechanism as design criteria. Based on multi-mode pushover and time-history analyses, a simple equation is developed for computing yield drift rati...

The direct modeling of masonry infill walls on many buildings, based damage recorded by various past earthquakes, has become increasingly necessary in order to identify the seismic behavior these elements, which constitute an important part reinforced concrete buildings. In this paper, several 3D models were analyzed nonlinear static (pushover) method, when ignoring, and considering, walls. fin...
