<p>Over the past few decades, fragility curves became a powerful tool for the seismic vulnerability assessment of structures. There are several available analytical procedures for calculating fragility curves, using both static and dynamic nonlinear analyses. In this study, a nonlinear static method, based on Generalized Pushover Analysis (GPA), is implemented for the development of analytical fragility curves of reinforced concrete (RC) bridges. The relative accuracy of the GPA algorithm, when applied to a large number of existing bridges, is evaluated through the comparison with the results from Nonlinear Time History Analysis (NTHA). Results indicate that GPA provides a good estimation of the fragility curves with respect to NTHA. The added computational demand of the GPA algorithm in terms of the number of analyses pays off in terms of accuracy while keeping the simplicity of a non-adaptive conventional pushover algorithm, which is desirable in engineering practice.</p>

ABSTRAKPenggunaan bresing tahan tekuk dapat menjadi solusi atas kebutuhan struktur tahan gempa di Indonesia. Disipasi energi pada elemen bresing tahan tekuk dilakukan melalui kinerja plastifikasi bagian inti bresing akibat beban tarik dan tekan. Penelitian ini berisi kajian kinerja dari bangunan rangka baja beraturan dengan bresing tahan tekuk (BRB) dengan variasi level ketinggian lantai yaitu 3 lantai, 8 lantai dan 15 lantai. Analisis struktur 3D dilakukan dengan dua prosedur analisis yaitu modal pushover dan nonlinear time history pada program ETABS. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa pemilihan elemen BRB sangat mempengaruhi kinerja struktur, yang terlihat dari pola drift yang terjadi. Untuk struktur beraturan dengan berbagai ketinggian, tingkat kinerja struktur dengan BRB cukup baik, yaitu Immediate Occupancy (IO) akibat beban gempa rencana. Plastifikasi hanya terjadi pada BRB, dan kelelehan pada balok mulai terbentuk sampai mekanisme keruntuhan terjadi. Hasil modal pushover dengan nonlinear time history pada bangunan 15 lantai yang cukup mirip menunjukkan bahwa modal pushover dapat digunakan untuk memprediksi kinerja struktur BRB yang beraturan.Kata kunci: kinerja struktur, bresing tahan tekuk, immediate occupancy, modal pushover, nonlinear time history ABSTRACTBuckling restrained braces (BRB) can be an alternative solution for earthquake resistant steel structure in Indonesia. The energy dissipation for buckling restrained elements is conducted through yielding of the core due to tension or compression forces. This study presents an evaluation of the structural performance of steel structures with BRB varying in heights, 3-story, 8-story and 15-story. The 3D structural analysis was carried out with ETABS software using 2 methods, Modal Pushover and Nonlinear Time History. The results shows that the selection of BRB elements greatly affected the structural performance, showed by the drift pattern. For regular structures with variation in heights, structures with BRB behaved satisfactory under the design load with the performance level of Immediate Occupancy (IO). Yielding was limited to BRB members, and afterwards the yielding occurred on beams until collapse. The results of modal pushover and time history analysis for 15-story structure are similar, thus modal pushover can be used to predict the performance of regular structural system with BRB.Keywords: structural performance, buckling restrained brace, immediate occupancy, modal pushover analysis, nonlinear time history analysis

It is essential for the seismic design of a base-isolated building that the seismic response of the superstructure remains within the elastic range. The evaluation of the maximum seismic member force in a superstructure is thus an important issue. The present study predicts the maximum seismic member force of five- and fourteen-story reinforced concrete base-isolated frame buildings adopting pushover analysis. In the first stage of the study, the nonlinear dynamic (time-history) analysis of the base-isolated frame buildings is carried out, and the nonlinear modal responses of the first and second modes are calculated from pushover analysis results. In the second stage, a set of pushover analyses is proposed considering the combination of the first and second modal responses, and predicted maximum member forces are compared with the nonlinear time-history analysis results. Results show that the maximum member forces predicted in the proposed set of pushover analyses are satisfactorily accurate, while the results predicted considering only the first mode are inaccurate.

Indonesia merupakan salah satu negara rawan gempa di dunia. Untuk mengurangi dampak akibat gempa khususnya jatuhnya korban jiwa akibat keruntuhan bangunan, maka dalam perencanaan struktur gedung di daerah rawan gempa, perilaku atau kinerja gedung terhadap gempa merupakan salah satu hal terpenting untuk diperhatikan. Oleh karena itu, perhitungan analisa secara inelastik atau nonlinier harus dilakukan. Beberapa metode untuk perhitungan analisis nonlinier meliputi analisis beban dorong (static nonlinear pushover analysis) dan analisis riwayat waktu (inelastic dynamic time history analysis). Penelitian ini membandingkan hasil kinerja dari analisis beban dorong dan analisis riwayat waktu dengan menggunakan rekaman gempa San Fernando, Morgan Hill dan Kobe untuk gedung beton bertulang SRPMK 6 lantai. Dari hasil analisis beban dorong maupun analisis riwayat waktu, didapatkan tingkat kinerja yang sama yaitu kategori IO ( Immediate Occupancy ) baik untuk arah X dan Y. Target displacement yang didapat dari analisa beban dorong sebesar 0,092 m untuk arah X dan 0,096 m untuk arah Y. Sedangkan displacement maksimum yang didapat dari hasil analisa riwayat waktu adalah sebesar 0,0129 m untuk arah X dan 0,005 m untuk arah Y yang berasal dari rekaman gempa Kobe dan gempa San Fernando.

Seismic Hazard Map

The recent seismic code SNI 1726-2012 is significantly different compared to the older code SNI 1726-2002. The seismic hazard map was significantly changed and the level of maximum considered earthquake was significantly increased. Therefore, buildings designed according to outdated code may not resist the higher demand required by newer code. In this study, seismic performance of Hotel X in Kupang, Indonesia which was designed based on SNI-1726-2002 is investigated. The structure was analyzed using Nonlinear Time History Analysis. The seismic load used was a spectrum consistent ground acceleration generated from El-Centro 18 May 1940 North-South component in accordance to SNI 1726-2012. The results show that Hotel X can resist maximum considered earthquake required by SNI 1726-2012. The maximum drift ratio is 0.81% which is lower than the limit set by FEMA 356-2000 (2%). Plastic hinge damage level is also lower than the allowance in ACMC 2001.

This paper presents a direct displacement design (DDD) procedure that can be used for seismic design of multistory wood-framed structures. The proposed procedure is applicable to any pure shear deforming system. The design procedure is a promising design tool for performance-based seismic design since it allows consideration of multiple performance objectives (e.g., damage limitation, safety requirements) without requiring the engineer to perform a complex finite element or nonlinear time-history analysis of the complete structure. A simple procedure based on normalized modal analysis is used to convert the code-specified acceleration response spectrum into a set of interstory drift spectra. These spectra can be used to determine the minimum stiffness required for each floor based on the drift limit requirements. Specific shear walls can then be directly selected from a database of backbone curves. The procedure is illustrated on the design of two three-story ATC-63 archetype buildings, and the results are validated using nonlinear time-history analysis.

Regional seismic damage simulation of buildings provides decision-makers with important information for earthquake disaster prevention and mitigation. Utilizing nonlinear time history analysis using multiple-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) models for buildings, and the next-generation performance-based earthquake engineering, an open-source general-purpose scientific workflow for seismic damage simulation and loss prediction of urban buildings (referred to as SimCenter Workflow) is presented in this study. To introduce the SimCenter Workflow process in detail and demonstrate its advantages, a seismic damage simulation and loss prediction for 1.8 million buildings in the San Francisco Bay Area were performed using the SimCenter Workflow. The open nature and modularization of the SimCenter Workflow facilitate its extensibility and make it practical for researchers to apply to seismic damage simulations in other regions.

For the lack of research in the longitudinal frame of prefabricated structure for its weak lateral stiffness, pushover analysis is conducted to evaluate the seismic performance of a fabricated concrete frame. Based on case study, the strengthening strategies with viscous dampers are analyzed. In view of the undesirable drift distribution and failure mode in the existing building, it is believed that arrangement of dampers should be designed to attain a uniform drift distribution. Based on the nonlinear time history analysis method, the strategy of damper allocation in vertical direction of the structure is investigated .Results indicate that a proper design might be attained based on the property of existing system, leading to a uniform drift distribution and better seismic performance.
