Site Characterization and Seismic Site Response Study for Bagan Area
Bagan, the cultural heritage city of Myanmar located in the Mandalay region, which is very close to the active Sagaing fault. Most of Bagan’s cultural heritage monuments have been damaged due to earthquakes. Therefore, seismic response analysis is needed to evaluate site response characteristics for retrofitting and preservation of the historical monuments in Bagan. Site […]
Seismic Performance of RC Frame Building with Different Position of Shear Wall
An earthquake force is a very strange force and behaves quite differently than Gravity and Wind loads, striking the weakest spot in the whole three dimensional structure. It’s not earthquake that kills, in fact ignorance in design and poor quality construction results in many weaknesses in the structure that cause serious damage to life and […]
Effect of Tsunami Loads on Ulak Karang Shelter Building in Padang City IJTSRD
In recent years, tsunami surges several regions in Indonesia, particularly in Sumatera Island which cause the damage to various facilities and infrastructures, even inflicting considerable casualties. The last strong undersea earthquake in Mentawai, West Sumatera on 2009, has warned the government to face the tsunami disaster in next big earthquake. Therefore, it is needed rescue […]
Analysis of Retrofiton School Building With Shear Wall and Steel Bracing IJTSRD
The earthquake on 30 September 2009with7,6 magnitude occurred in West Sumatera and it caused the damage to both physical public facilities and infrastructures. The education sectors suffered from structural damage to the school buildings. In order to establish of the new Indonesian Seismic Code, SNI03 1726 2012, it will affect to the performance of structures […]
Studies on Effect of Structural Irregularities on Seismic Performance of Reinforced Concrete Building IJTSRD
An earthquake is a shaking of the surface of the Earth, resulting from the sudden release of energy inthe Earth’s lithosphere that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes are so far unpreventable and unpredictable, theonly option with us is to design and build the structures, which are earthquake resistant. The amount of damagecaused by earthquakes could increase […]
