Padang City, West Sumatra province is one of the most vulnerable cities in the west coast of Indonesia. Together with the increase in population in Padang City, the number of the building is also increasing. Meanwhile, researchers predicted that Padang City is facing the impendence of mega-earthquake with magnitude more than 8 in scale Richter (SR). The last Earthquake with magnitude 7.6 SR caused fatality with more than 1200 people died and almost 3000 others were injured. Most of the victims injured due to the collapse and damage of buildings, especially the Reinforced Concrete (RC) structure. To reduce the damage due to seismic load as the preparation for the future earthquake, the assessment of the element at risk subjected to the seismic load in Padang City is essential. The predominant building typology in Padang City is RC building. Using the Applied Element Method that can show structural response till collapse state, has been simulated typical low-rise RC infilled wall building in Padang City with the consideration of its different on concrete quality based on local concreting workmanship. Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA) by using some ground motion has been used to observe the structural response. The damage states and damage pattern has been judged based on HAZUS criteria. The results show that local compaction method affected the concrete compression quality, that also influences the building performance which is subjected to earthquake loads.

The Impact

Gorkha Earthquake in 2015 has impacted considerably in the design and construction of buildings in Nepal. Strength and Safety of life and constructions have become the prime concerns of the government and the public. Regulation is required to achieve the strength and safety in the constructions. Hence, a need for revision of building codes has been felt and Nepal Building Code, NBC105 has been revised. This paper presents the impact of the revised code on seismic load estimation for low rise reinforced concrete buildings. For the assessment of the impact linear and non- linear static and linear dynamic analysis of reinforced concrete residential buildings of two storey and four Storey has been taken subjected to Indian Standard Codes IS 1893: 2002, IS 1893:2016, Nepal Building Codes NBC 105: 1994 and NBC 105: 2020. The buildings were modeled and analyzed in SAP2000. The response of the buildings such as time period, base shear, drifts, and storey forces from the application of the four codes was compared. The comparison of the results shows that the structural response of the building under the revised NBC105:2020 is 60% to 65% higher compared to the previous code NBC105:1994.

Random Nature

The random nature of the explosion load, associated with the random nature of material properties, and geometric dimensional characteristics, implies the need to consider them into the reliability analysis in order to have a more correct estimation of the structural behavior. Therefore, when the randomness of these parameters in the analysis is considered, the response of the structure assumes probabilistic nature, and this makes it necessary to look into the reliability measure. This paper presents results from a parametric investigation of the reliability of reinforced concrete (RC) beam subjected to blast load. The probabilistic responses of the maximum displacement for a reinforced concrete flexural member under blast loadings are evaluated by means of nonlinear dynamic analysis with simplified equivalent single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) system. Results of numerical simulations have shown the response of structures, in terms of maximum displacement in relation also to the blast load and the geometrical and mechanical characteristics of the beams. Monte Carlo simulation of dynamic response of the equivalent SDOF system is performed to estimate the reliability.

The office building of the food security office of West Sumatra Province is a multi-storey building with reinforced concrete structures built in earthquake-prone areas that have the potential for large-scale earthquakes such as the one that occurred in 2009. Based on USGS data, from December 2004 to October 2009 There have been 10 earthquakes measuring more than 5 on the Richter scale that rocked Indonesia and resulted in damage to buildings, both minor damage to heavy damage and evencollapsing. The big earthquake that occurred on September 30, 2009 in Padang City, West Sumatra, was measuring 7.6 on the Richter scale. In this study, evaluated the seismic capacity of a reinforced concrete building 4 (four) floors built in earthquake-prone areas in the city of Padang. The seismic capacity of the building is evaluated based on the standard published by Japan, namely The Standard for Seismic Evaluation of Existin Reinforced Concrete Building, 2001. In this evaluation, it only looks at the structural elements of the column on the first floor. Seismic capacity is expressed in terms of the lateral strength index and the ductility index of the building. The results of the evaluation of seismic capacity obtained the total strength index value of the building is 0.707. The seismic capacity of this building can be shown to be adequate or strongin earthquake-prone areas compared to the seismic capacity of reinforced concrete buildings that survived the massive earthquake of 7.6 on the Richter Scale in West Sumatra in September 2009. From the evaluation results on this building which is located in an area including the prone to strong earthquakes can be stated to be able to behave ductile and able to withstand an earthquake or not experience sudden collapse

The Impact

Earthquakes are the natural disaster occurring since years but during the last two decades they are causing huge looses whether it may economic or to life. This paper focuses to evaluate the seismic performance of various building confirming to Indian standard criteria for earthquake resistant design of structures and ductile detailing of reinforced concrete structures subjected to seismic Forces-code of practice, Bureau of Indian Standards, both as per the revised codes in the year 2016. Due to ground shaking, seismic loads are the governing load and thus it becomes necessary to assess the conditional probability of structural response. Use of HAZUS methodology is followed to construct seismic fragility curves as it is well-organized and defined approach. Spectral displacement plays the functional parameter to derive the expected damage for fragility. This work represented here is compiled by means of procedure for establishing the fragility curves for three typical Reinforced Concrete (RC) frame structures having variations resembling 3 storey intended for short-period structures, 6 storey used for medium-period structures and 12 storey representing long-period structures using SAP2000 as a software tool for analyzing the structure. Furthermore an attempt is made for focus on the variation of one of the major structural configuration i.e. slab thickness which is not certainly paid attention as compared to columns and beams. Slabs adds additional stiffness to the structure which can enlighten how it behaviour would be when subjected to ground excitation. As a result, the fragility curves are plotted to study the impact due to slab thickness in order they are carefully selected while design.

West Sumatra Province is one of the provinces in Indonesia that is vulnerable to natural disasters, especially earthquakes and tsunamis. Padang city, as the capital city of West Sumatra, is an area that is included in an area with a high level of vulnerability (High Risk Zone) to tsunamis. Therefore, the construction of public buildings such as hospitals, government offices, and school buildings must have certain technical engineering that is able to anticipate the damage and collapse of buildings due to the earthquake and tsunami. One of the public buildings as an educational facility in Padang city is the Elementary School building of the 23/24 (SD 23/24 Padang), located close to the beach. Based on the evaluation results of the Detail Engineering Design (DED) documents, it is found that this building was designed without taking into account the tsunami loads. Therefore, a building assessment should be carried out to check the capacity of the building to resist the working loads, including the tsunami loads, and to investigate the effect of the tsunami loads on the SD 23/24 Padang building. In this study, the building was analyzed using ETABS v.18 software based on the new Indonesian Seismic Code, SNI 1726-2019 for seismic load and FEMA P646-2019 for calculating tsunami loads. The results show that the SD 23/24 Padang building is strong against earthquake loads, but it doesn’t have enough capacity when tsunami loads are applied, in which there are several structural elements (columns/beams) that do not have sufficient capacity to withstand the combined earthquake and tsunami loads. The effect of tsunami loads on the building structure is also discussed in this paper.

The purpose of New RC project was aimed to reduce the member sections and increase the available space of high rise buildings by using high strength concrete (f’c > 70 MPa) and high strength rebars (fy > 685 MPa). Material consumptions and member section sizes can be further reduced owing to the upgrade of strength. However, the nature of brittleness of high strength may also cause early cover spalling and other ductility issues. Addition of steel fibers is an alternative as transverse reinforcement. Highly flowable strain hardening fiber reinforced concrete (HF-SHFRC) has excellent workability in the fresh state and exhibits the strain-hardening and multiple cracking characteristics of high performance fiber reinforced cementitious composites (HPFRCC) in their hardened state. The objective of this study is to investigate the feasibility of implementing HF-SHFRC in New RC building systems, particularly for beam-column joints as an alternative of transverse reinforcements. Four full-scale exterior beam-column joints, including two specimens with intensive transverse reinforcements and two specimens made of HF-SHFRC without any stirrup, are tested. Test results show that the HF-SHFRC specimens perform as well as specimens with intensive transverse reinforcements regarding failure mode, ductility, energy dissipation and crack width control. Integration of New RC building systems and HF-SHFRC can assuring construction qualities and further diminish labor work and give infrastructure longer service life, and eventually lower the life-cycle cost.
