Abstract

The occurrence of earthquakes is frequent in Indonesia due to its position in a highly active tectonic zone. One approach to improve the seismic performance of existing buildings is through the use of base isolation. The concept of using base isolation systems aims to increase the natural period of structures and provide additional damping to reduce seismic forces on the structures. A comparative study was performed between a fixed base system and base isolated system in a 13-story reinforced concrete building located in Surabaya on soft soil. Subsequently, these models were evaluated for their structural response using the nonlinear time history analysis. The results demonstrate that the use of base isolation systems can significantly elongate the building’s natural period, resulting in a significant decrease in the base shear, acceleration response, drift, and the plastic hinge formed. This study proves that this technology is suitable to be applied to existing buildings with satisfactory results.

Abstract

The use of Reinforced Concrete (RC) deep beams in the building may require web openings or holes for electricaland mechanical utility passage. This web opening will change the behavior of the RC deep beam and may result in early crackseven at service load. Hence, it is important to use a suitable tool to predict the full response of the RC deep beam with theopening. For that purpose, a nonlinear finite element method using 3D-NLFEA software package which utilizes a plasticityfracture model is used to predict the behavior of RC deep beam. One deep beam specimen available in the literature isinvestigated. To study the effect of using structured and unstructured mesh, as well as different element types on the loaddeflection curve, the hexahedral and tetrahedral solid element was used. From the comparisons, it was observed that the crackpattern between two different meshes was not similar. Structured mesh often has straighter crack propagation compared to theunstructured mesh. The load-deflection curve for both models is similar and both models were performed satisfactorily inpredicting the peak load of the deep beam.

Abstract

This paper presents nonlinear finite element analysis of eccentrically loaded circular Reinforced Concrete (RC)column confined with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) wraps. The concrete constitutive model uses a plasticityfracture model which is restraint sensitive, utilize a non-constant plastic dilation rate, and is able to simulate the plasticvolumetric compaction of concrete core under high confining pressure. For validation of the models, two available specimensfrom the literature are used in the validations. Excellent agreement between the numerical models and the available test resultsare obtained in this study. A detailed investigation on the confinement effectiveness of both external and internal confiningdevices are presented and discussed. This discussion of the confinement effectiveness is important to be included in the designformula.

Abstract

This paper presents a shear buckling analysis of corrugated web I-girder beam using nonlinear finite element analysis. An in-house finite element package called 3D-NLFEA is used in the simulation. The steel material is modelled as solid elements with one-eight aspect ratio between the element size and its thickness. The double sine waves equation is used to generate the initial imperfection in the corrugated web. The nonlinear geometry deformation, which is essential in capturing the buckling behavior, is considered using the 2nd order analysis in 3D-NLFEA. A comparison with the carried out experimental test in the laboratory showed that the peak prediction from the analytical model was in good agreement. Furthermore, using the double sine waves equation as the initial imperfection can closely predict the buckling mode and shapes of the corrugated web I-girder as obtained from the experimental test.
