Abstract

This study presents a comparative evaluation of the seismic response of mid-rise (G+4) reinforced concrete (RC) bare frame structures featuring plan irregularities, specifically L, I, and T-shaped configurations under fixed base and base-isolated conditions. These irregularities, typical in public buildings, lead to asymmetrical mass and stiffness distributions, affecting seismic performance. Six models were developed and analyzed using the Equivalent Static Method (ESM), with key parameters including base shear, storey drift, top-storey displacement, and fundamental time period. The results show that base isolation using rubber bearings effectively reduces base shear by 15-18%, although it increases overall system flexibility. Isolated models exhibited 44-45% higher top-storey displacements and 108-115% greater storey drifts compared to fixed-base counterparts. The fundamental time period also increased by approximately 40%, indicating enhanced energy dissipation and reduced structural stiffness. Among the plan configurations, I-shaped models experienced the highest base shear, while T-shaped structures performed best in terms of seismic efficiency. Despite excluding masonry infill and soil-structure interaction, the findings highlight the potential of base isolation to significantly enhance the seismic resilience of irregular RC buildings. The study recommends integrating base isolation in the design of geometrically irregular public buildings, particularly in high seismic zones, to improve safety and performance under earthquake loading.

Abstract

This study investigates the seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) frames retrofitted with V-shaped steel bracing through a comparative analysis using Response Spectrum Analysis (RSA). A total of 24 models, 12 braced and 12 unbraced, were analyzed for 4-, 8-, 12-, and 16-story buildings, considering three base shear contributions (25%, 50%, and 75%) in columns observed. Key seismic parameters, including fundamental time period (FTP), top-story displacements, inter-story drift (ISD), base shear, and stiffness, were evaluated. Results demonstrate that V-bracing significantly improves seismic performance in low- to mid-rise buildings by reducing FTP (up to 76%), displacements (up to 72%), and ISD while increasing base shear demand (up to 59%) and structural stiffness. Higher base shear contributions in columns (e.g., 75%) led to increased displacements and reduced base shear, indicating a trade-off between column and bracing resistance. The findings highlight the effectiveness of steel bracing in retrofitting RC structures, with optimal performance observed when bracing resists a larger share of lateral forces. This study provides insights for seismic design and retrofitting strategies, emphasizing the role of dual systems in enhancing earthquake resilience. Further nonlinear analysis is recommended to explore post-yield behavior.

Abstract

This article offers an extensive review of research conducted between 1990 and 2023 on reinforced concrete (RC) frames retrofitted with concentric steel bracing systems, emphasizing their seismic performance, design strategies, and retrofitting efficacy. Different bracing configurations, including X-type, V-type, diagonal, inverted V-type, and knee bracing are assessed regarding energy dissipation, ductility, overstrength factors (R), stiffness, and failure mechanisms, as demonstrated through experimental and numerical studies. Significant findings underscore the importance of buckling-restrained braces (BRBs), post-tensioned systems, and self-centering cable braces in enhancing lateral load capacity, minimizing displacements, and boosting seismic resilience. The review also investigates pushover analyses to evaluate failure modes (such as weak-beam/strong-column mechanisms) and the effects of retrofitting on existing buildings. Design methods, including elastic steel frames and optimization of shear capacity, are thoroughly compared. Notable gaps in current methodologies, such as the necessity for standardized quantification of the R-factor and performance-based design protocols, are highlighted. Drawing on over three decades of research, this paper concludes with recommendations for the future, stressing the importance of advanced materials, hybrid systems, and AI-driven modeling to enhance concentric braced RC frames in response to emerging seismic challenges.

Abstract

Reinforced concrete (RC) buildings strengthened with concentric steel bracing systems have been widely investigated as an effective strategy for enhancing seismic resistance in both existing and newly designed structures. However, existing studies are dispersed across various bracing configurations, design methodologies, and performance evaluation approaches, making it difficult to establish a comprehensive understanding of their seismic behavior. This study presents a systematic review of approximately 75 published studies from 1990 to 2023 retrieved from major scientific databases including Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. The reviewed literature was screened based on relevance to concentric steel-braced RC frames, seismic retrofitting, structural design, and seismic performance assessment. The findings indicate that X-bracing, Chevron bracing, and Buckling-Restrained Braces (BRBs) significantly improve lateral stiffness, energy dissipation capacity, ductility, and overall seismic performance. Experimental and numerical studies consistently report substantial reductions in inter-story drift and enhanced structural resilience under seismic loading. Recent developments involving performance-based seismic design, self-centering systems, hysteretic dampers, and computational optimization techniques have further expanded the applicability of braced RC systems. Nevertheless, challenges remain regarding standardized response modification factor evaluation, performance-based design implementation, and high-rise applications. The review highlights current research trends, identifies critical knowledge gaps, and provides recommendations for future investigations involving advanced materials, hybrid systems, and artificial intelligence-based structural optimization.

Abstract

Accurate estimation of pile foundation bearing capacity is essential for ensuring the safety, serviceability, and cost-effectiveness of geotechnical structures. Cone Penetration Test (CPT) and Standard Penetration Test (SPT) data are widely used for evaluating pile performance; however, differences among empirical prediction methods may lead to variations in design capacity. This study aims to compare the bearing capacity of single and group pile foundations estimated using the Meyerhof and Schmertmann methods based on CPT and SPT datasets. The analysis was conducted on reinforced concrete piles with a diameter of 0.80 m and an embedded depth of 16 m. Single-pile capacities were calculated using both methods, while group pile performance was evaluated using the Converse–Labarre efficiency approach. The results indicate that the Meyerhof method consistently produced higher allowable pile capacities than the Schmertmann method. For CPT-based analysis, allowable capacities ranged from 261.26 to 318.10 tons, whereas SPT-based analysis yielded capacities between 445.94 and 458.20 tons. Group pile capacities were estimated at 792.12 tons and 1352.09 tons based on CPT and SPT data, respectively. The findings suggest that the Meyerhof approach provides more conservative design flexibility for large-diameter piles. The study highlights the importance of selecting appropriate interpretation methods and integrating multiple site investigation techniques to improve the reliability of pile foundation design.

Abstract

Subsurface characterization plays a critical role in foundation planning, particularly in areas with weak soil conditions where accurate assessment of soil behavior is required to ensure structural stability. This study aims to evaluate the influence of pile group configuration on pile efficiency and bearing capacity using Cone Penetration Test (CPT) data as the primary source of subsurface information. The research employed a quantitative analytical approach based on CPT-derived soil parameters, where single-pile capacity was calculated using the Direct Method and group-pile capacity was determined through pile efficiency factors. Several pile group configurations consisting of three and four piles were modeled and compared to identify the most effective arrangement. The results indicate that pile group configuration significantly affects pile efficiency and overall bearing capacity. Configurations with higher efficiency factors produced greater allowable group capacities, demonstrating a direct relationship between pile arrangement and foundation performance. The highest efficiency values reached 0.861 for three-pile configurations and 0.844 for four-pile configurations, resulting in improved bearing capacities compared with conventional arrangements. These findings highlight the importance of integrating CPT-based subsurface characterization into foundation design and engineering surveying practices. It is recommended that pile group layouts be optimized during the planning stage to maximize load-bearing performance and minimize potential settlement. The study contributes to geotechnical surveying applications by demonstrating the value of CPT data in supporting evidence-based foundation design decisions.

Abstract

The Cikahuripan Irrigation Area in Sukabumi Regency plays an important role in supporting agricultural productivity, particularly rice cultivation. However, the irrigation network has experienced functional degradation due to sediment accumulation, erosion, and malfunctioning water control structures, resulting in suboptimal water distribution. This study aims to determine the Actual Operation and Maintenance Cost Requirement (AKNOP) and identify priority maintenance activities needed to restore irrigation performance. The research employed an observational method through field inspections, inventory surveys, and analysis of irrigation infrastructure conditions. Primary and secondary data were collected from relevant agencies and direct observations. The AKNOP calculation was carried out by identifying operation and maintenance activities, determining work volumes, and estimating costs based on applicable unit price analyses. The results showed that the total AKNOP for the Cikahuripan Irrigation Network was Rp. 493,240,000, consisting of operation costs of Rp. 132,302,800 (30%), routine maintenance costs of Rp. 293,306,813 (65%), and periodic maintenance costs of Rp. 22,731,003 (5%). The study concludes that routine maintenance activities constitute the largest expenditure due to the extensive deterioration of irrigation facilities. It is recommended that responsible agencies prioritize sediment removal, vegetation control, and repair of damaged structures. The findings provide a practical basis for budgeting and improving irrigation management to support sustainable agricultural productivity.

Abstract

The increasing demand for concrete in construction has encouraged the exploration of sustainable materials to reduce the consumption of natural resources and utilize construction waste. Roof tile waste has potential as a partial substitute for coarse aggregate, while chemical admixtures such as Fosroc Conplast WP421 can improve concrete workability and performance. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of roof tile waste and Fosroc Conplast WP421 on the workability and compressive strength of concrete. An experimental laboratory method was employed using cylindrical concrete specimens with a diameter of 150 mm and a height of 300 mm. Fosroc Conplast WP421 was added at 1.3% of cement weight, while roof tile waste was used as a 30% replacement for coarse aggregate. Slump tests and compressive strength tests were conducted at curing ages of 7, 14, and 28 days. The results indicated that the addition of Fosroc Conplast WP421 increased the slump value from 13.5 cm in normal concrete to 18.0 cm in concrete containing 30% roof tile waste. The highest compressive strength at 28 days was obtained by concrete containing 1.3% Fosroc Conplast WP421 without roof tile waste, reaching 39.65 MPa, while the mixture with 30% roof tile waste achieved 37.73 MPa. It can be concluded that Fosroc Conplast WP421 improved concrete workability and maintained satisfactory compressive strength. Further studies are recommended to investigate different replacement ratios and long-term durability performance. The findings contribute to the development of more sustainable concrete materials through waste utilization.
