Abstract

Seismic performance evaluation of reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures is essential to assess their safety and resilience against earthquake loading. Among nonlinear static procedures, pushover analysis has emerged as a practical and widely accepted method for estimating the seismic capacity of building structures. This study aims to assess the seismic performance of RC moment-resisting frames through pushover analysis based on the capacity curve. A mid-rise RC frame model was developed and analyzed using ETABS software, subjected to gradually increasing lateral static loads until structural failure occurred. The analysis focused on lateral displacement behavior, internal force distribution, and performance level evaluation based on FEMA 356 and ATC-40 criteria. The results indicate that the structure generally performs within Immediate Occupancy (IO) to Life Safety (LS) performance levels depending on the applied lateral load. The formation of plastic hinges was predominantly concentrated in beams and lower-level columns, exhibiting typical ductile behavior. This research confirms the value of pushover analysis as an effective and cost-efficient tool to identify structural weaknesses and inform seismic retrofitting strategies in vulnerable RC frame buildings.

Abstract

The construction industry is one of the largest contributors to global CO₂ emissions, primarily due to the production of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). In recent years, geopolymer concrete (GPC) has emerged as a promising sustainable alternative, utilizing industrial by-products such as fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) to replace traditional cement. This study investigates the effectiveness of geopolymer concrete in reducing the carbon footprint of concrete production without compromising structural performance. A series of experimental tests were conducted to compare the mechanical and environmental properties of GPC with conventional OPC concrete, including compressive strength, durability under aggressive environments, and total embodied carbon emissions. Results showed that geopolymer concrete achieved comparable or superior compressive strength values at 28 days, particularly when heat curing was applied. Furthermore, a significant reduction of up to 80% in CO₂ emissions was observed, depending on the source material and mix design. The study confirms that geopolymer concrete has strong potential to be adopted in both structural and non-structural applications, particularly in regions with abundant industrial waste materials. It is recommended as a key strategy in decarbonizing the construction sector while meeting performance and durability requirements.

Abstract

The environmental impact of infrastructure development has become a critical concern in sustainable engineering practices, particularly in large-scale projects such as bridge construction. This study presents a comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA) of commonly used bridge infrastructure materials—including concrete, steel, and composite systems—across their entire lifespan from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal. Using ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 standards as the methodological foundation, the assessment evaluates global warming potential (GWP), embodied energy, and environmental toxicity across four bridge design scenarios. Data were collected from regional suppliers and international LCA databases to ensure accuracy and relevance. Results indicate that material selection significantly influences the overall carbon footprint and energy consumption of bridge structures. Steel-intensive designs showed higher GWP during production but offered advantages in recyclability, whereas concrete exhibited lower initial emissions but higher long-term maintenance impacts. Composite systems demonstrated potential for both structural efficiency and reduced environmental impact when optimized. The study emphasizes the importance of early-stage material decisions and supports the integration of LCA tools into bridge design workflows to enhance sustainability in civil infrastructure development.

Abstract

The demand for rapid, cost-effective, and sustainable infrastructure solutions has driven significant advancements in prefabricated concrete technology over the past decade. This study explores recent innovations in the design, production, and implementation of prefabricated concrete components within modern infrastructure projects, including bridges, buildings, and transportation systems. Emphasis is placed on modular construction techniques, high-performance materials, digital fabrication methods, and connection systems that enhance structural efficiency, durability, and construction speed. Case studies from urban infrastructure developments illustrate how prefabrication reduces construction time, minimizes on-site labor, improves quality control, and decreases environmental impact through material optimization and waste reduction. Furthermore, the integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and automation in precast fabrication facilities has streamlined the design-to-production workflow, enabling greater precision and customization. The paper concludes that prefabricated concrete technology plays a pivotal role in addressing the growing infrastructure needs of rapidly urbanizing societies while supporting the global transition toward more sustainable construction practices.

Abstract

This study presents the seismic-resistant structural design of a 3-storey guest house with a roof garden, located in Surabaya, Indonesia, an area classified as Earthquake Zone 6. The building is designed using a Special Moment Resisting Frame System (SMRFS) as per SNI 1726:2019, which is appropriate for high seismic risk areas. The equivalent static lateral force method is employed for seismic analysis. Structural modeling and upper-structure design are performed using ETABS, while sub-structure components such as pile caps and foundations are analyzed manually and supported by PCA Column software. The structural elements are designed according to Indonesian codes, including SNI 2847:2019 for reinforced concrete, SNI 1727:2020 for minimum loads, and SNI 2052:2017 for steel reinforcement. The final design yields column dimensions ranging from 200×400 mm to 600×600 mm and beam dimensions from 250×400 mm to 350×700 mm, with slab thicknesses of 120 mm and 150 mm. The results confirm that the structure meets strength, stiffness, and ductility requirements. This research ensures compliance with national standards while enhancing structural safety in high seismic zones.

Abstract

Irregular buildings, particularly those with L-shaped plans, are more vulnerable during seismic events due to their asymmetric geometry and torsional irregularity. This study investigates the seismic performance of L-shaped reinforced concrete (RC) structures with various shear wall configurations under lateral loading. A total of 12 L-shaped six-story building models were analyzed using ETABS software, applying both Equivalent Static Method (ESM) and Response Spectrum Analysis (RSA) as per IS 1893:2016. The effect of shear wall positioning on fundamental time period, base shear, displacement, torsional irregularity and diaphragm rotation was evaluated. Results showed that shear walls significantly enhance structural performance by reducing displacement, increasing base shear, and controlling torsional behavior when placed effectively. Improper or asymmetric wall placement, however, led to increased torsional amplification and irregular seismic responses. Among all models, those with shear walls aligned along both X and Y directions performed best in terms of seismic resistance. The study highlights the importance of optimal shear wall positioning in irregular RC buildings for enhancing seismic safety and structural efficiency.

Abstract

The increase in waste from construction and daily human activities has raised environmental concerns, particularly the disposal of non-biodegradable materials such as glass and granite. This study investigates the potential use of glass bottle waste and granite waste as partial substitutes for coarse aggregates in normal concrete. The objective is to evaluate their influence on the compressive strength of concrete with a target strength of 20 MPa. Experimental tests were conducted using cylindrical specimens (15 cm × 30 cm), incorporating 3% glass waste and varying granite waste contents (3%, 5%, 8%, and 10%). A total of 45 specimens were tested at curing ages of 7, 14, and 28 days. The results show that the highest compressive strength of 25.20 MPa was achieved with 3% glass and 3% granite waste, surpassing the design strength. However, increasing granite content beyond 3% led to a gradual strength reduction. The findings indicate that limited substitution of both wastes is feasible without compromising structural performance. Future research should optimize mix design parameters to improve efficiency and explore higher substitution levels for environmental sustainability.

Abstract

Steel bracing is widely used in reinforced concrete (RC) structures to enhance their lateral load resistance and seismic performance. This review paper compiles and examines various experimental and numerical studies on steel bracing systems and their connection details with RC frames. Three primary types of brace-to-frame connections were analysed, focusing on their effects on structural parameters such as crack patterns, response modification factor (R factor), overstrength, and stiffness. The studies show that while the X-bracing configuration has been extensively examined, other bracing types require further investigation, particularly regarding their connection behaviour and performance. Observations highlight that bracing significantly reduces inter-story drift, displacement, and natural period while increasing base shear capacity. However, the effectiveness of the bracing system largely depends on the type and strength of the connection between the steel braces and RC elements. Issues such as hinge formation near brace connections, shifting of plastic hinges, and localized failures in beams and columns demand further exploration. Additionally, experimental studies reveal that inadequate connections can lead to premature failure, while well-designed connections improve strength, energy dissipation, and ductility. This review emphasizes the urgent need for developing standardized, simple, and effective connection detailing for both new construction and retrofitting purposes. Future research should focus on optimizing the design of brace connections in various configurations, quantifying overstrength factors and stiffness ratios, and extending the study to diverse bracing types beyond the commonly studied X-bracing.

Abstract

The definition of mining and quarrying is constructed as an activity that includes research, management, and exploitation. Sand mining is part of non-metal mining business activities that aim to produce its associated minerals. This study aims to determine the results of the evaluation of the feasibility of heavy equipment investment in Excavators based on calculations using the NPV (Net Present Value), IRR (Internal Rate of Return), BEP (Break Event Point) and PP (Payback Period). This research was conducted surveys, observations and interviews to obtain data. The results of this study Investment in the procurement of heavy equipment Excavator is feasible to run because the Net Present Value (NPV) value is positive (+) which means it is good and acceptable while the resulting NPV value is Rp1,944,640,086.47. Then analyze the calculation of the feasibility of the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) obtained 26%. Thus IRR> MARR = 26%> 15.5% or according to the calculation of IRR this investment is RIGHT to run. Furthermore, from the analysis of the calculation of the Break Even Point (BEP), the calculation results obtained are 5.2153 years or BEP occurs when the break-even point occurs when PM - PK = Rp 5.006.705.873. In the Payback Period (PP) research, the investment turning point occurred in year 5.6856 at a value of Rp 4.009.690.743,31. It can be interpreted that for investment within a period of 10 years is FAIR.
