The building structure with infill wall shows higher global stiffness along with the uncertain behaviour during 2015 Gorkha earthquake. It significantly increased the collapse rate of structures during earthquakes. The response of buildings with different infills during seismic excitations is not completely accounted by current seismic codes in the region. On the other hand, due to the different geological region, availability of infill materials for reinforced concrete building also differs on region to region. In most of the situations the burnt clay brick, concrete blocks and stone block are used as infill materials during building construction. In this scenario, this study explores the importance of selection of right infill material for better seismic performance during earthquakes. For this, building constructed at Pokhara Metropolitan City is considered for case study. The structural model is prepared with and without considering infills. The solid, hollow concrete block and clay brick masonry are taken as infill material during analysis. The structural behaviour during earthquakes is studied with non-linear static pushover. The result shows that the hollow concrete block masonry infill (INHB) shows better structural performance compared to other infill types.

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

Concrete Building

Precast concrete structures are widely used in construction. It consists of prefabricated elements casted in industry and connected to each other to form a homogeneous structure. Connections function is to transfer moments and axial forces. Many engineers assume precast connection as pinned, but in reality, they are semi-rigid connections that transfer forces to other members. Lack of design and detailing of connection leads to improper behaviour of the structure, which then leads to the collapse of the building. Past earthquake studies show that many precast buildings performed poorly, and the main reasons were connections. This paper mainly focuses on understanding the seismic behaviour of mid-rise i.e seven-storey precast reinforced concrete buildings with various beam-column joints i.e rigid, semi-rigid, pinned and column-base supports i.e, fixed and hinged supports. Building is modelled and analyzed using ETABS v17 software. Rotational stiffness of precast billet connection is adopted for modelling of semi-rigid beam-column connections. Response spectrum and modal analysis are carried out. Results of displacements, storey drift, storey shear, storey stiffness, base shear, time periods and first mode shapes of models are discussed. It is observed, precast reinforced concrete building models with semi rigid connection performs better than building models with pinned connections and building models with fixed supports reduces the structural response to a great extent.
