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...

Abstract Geotechnical seismic isolation has emerged as an efficient technique for mitigating the severe effects of earthquakes by providing smooth synthetic liners beneath foundations or between soil layers dissipating energy through sliding. This study investigates efficacy using a rubber mat and natural coir reinforcement materials within to act soil-isolation medium. A three-dimensional fini...

The capacity of a structure can be assessed using inelastic analyses, requiring sophisticated numerical procedures such as pushover and incremental dynamic analyses. A simplified method for the evaluation seismic performance steel Concentrically Braced Frames (CBFs) to used in everyday practice immediate aftermath an earthquake has been recently proposed. This evaluates existing building employ...

Abstract This article presents a numerical study on the influence of anchorage shear hysteresis seismic response nonstructural components (NSC) connected to multi-storey reinforced concrete (RC) buildings, and itself. To cover variety different types shapes, this contribution considered experimental results obtained for five post-installed anchors. The were used calibrating model connecting an ...

 In recent years, high-rise construction has been rising. A big challenge for engineers and executives in the construction of these structures is the stability of the structures against earthquakes. And this requires the development of appropriate arrangements for structures under lateral system and are braced system. And this requires the development of appropriate arrangements for structures ...

A neural-network-based post-earthquake damage identification methodology for smart structures with the direct use of vibration measurements is developed. Two neural networks are constructed to facilitate the process of post-earthquake damage identification. The rationality of the proposed methodology is explained and the theory basis for the construction of an emulator neural network (ENN) and ...

A structural optimization criterion for linear mechanical systems subject to random vibrations is presented for supporting engineer’s design. It is based on a multiobjective approach whose Objective Function (OF) vector is done by stochastic reliability performance and structural cost indices. The first ones are structural reliabilities, and are evaluated for one or more failure types; they are...

Seismic base isolation is now a days moving towards a very efficient tool in seismic design of structure. Increasing flexibility of structure is well achieved by the insertion of these additional elements between upper structure and foundation as they absorb larger part of seismic energy. However in Bangladesh, this research is still young for building structures. Therefore, this is a burning q...
