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...

Design requirements now appear in the 2005 AISC Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings (AISC, 2005b), referred to herein as The Provisions, for steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) that are designed such that their web plates buckle in shear and develop diagonal tension fi eld action when resisting lateral loads. Energy dissipation and ductility during seismic events is principally achiev...

Successful development of the offshore wind energy resource depends upon the reliability of the structures that support the electricity-generating rotor-nacelle assemblies that form the core of a wind turbine system. The risk posed to offshore wind turbines (OWTs) by extreme environmental events such as Atlantic hurricanes requires a more detailed examination of post-elastic structural performa...

A simplified fragility analysis of steel building frame is presented which can be used for preliminary estimate of its probability of failure. The risk analysis procedure uses the format of probabilistic Risk Analysis (PRA) and considers band limited white noise at the bed rock as the seismic input. The steel building frame is modeled as a 2D frame and Pushover analysis is then carried out to o...

This paper compares the target displacement estimate from four current nonlinear static procedures—FEMA-356 CM, ASCE­ 41 CM, ATC-40 CSM, and FEMA-440 CSM—with the value derived from recorded motions of five strongly shaken reinforced concrete buildings.This comparison provides useful insight into two important questions: (1) how much does the target displacement vary among the four nonlinear st...

        Sensitivity analysis of structures considering their nonlinear behavior has recently been an important process in optimal design of them based on new design concepts such as Performance-Based Design (PBD). The main objective of this research is to develop an efficient and applicable method for nonlinear sensitivity analysis of Reinforcement Concrete Moment Resisting Frames (RCMRF) accou...

Beams are part of the building structure that is important to consider when designing structure. Some failures occur in beams due beam reinforcement not installed such as planning/ design procedures, this problem can cause structural failure. Knowing behavior given load help predict strength and comfort planned To determine reinforced concrete received load, experimental simulation tests carrie...
