Structural failure, which can be caused by design miscalculation or changes in the building’s function, can be dangerous if left untreated. Consequently, structural strengthening is done by providing steel plates, fiber-reinforced-polymer, or in the traditional way using bamboo fibers. In this study, a numerical calculation for bamboo strengthening using the FEM method is conducted. Bamboo strengthening was installed on concrete beams and attached using mortar. The analysis was carried out with ATENA software dealing with beam specimens, namely Control Beam (BC) and Bamboo-strengthened Beam using M13 and M20 mortar (BB13 and BB20). The materials used are CC3DNonLinCementitious2 and CCD3DBiLinearSteelVonMises for concrete and bamboo, respectively. The concrete and mortar use the fracture concept of a uniaxial stress-strain law and the constitutive model of the bamboo is based on a linear stress-strain law. The results of comparing the numerical and experimental results for the load-carrying capacity ratio are 0.96, 0.90, 0.77 for BC, BB13, and BB20, respectively. The crack pattern of the specimens shows that collapse is by flexural cracking starting from the mid-span. This is in accordance with previous laboratory results. In conclusion, the analyses using ATENA program and experimental methods show the appropriate results.
Earthquakes are natural phenomena occurring in various parts of the globe. Severe earthquakes caused substantial loss of life and property when nearly populated districts. Although some progress has been made in the area of seismic prediction, earthquakes in time, magnitude or location can not be estimated correctly. The primary method of reducing casualties is therefore to build seismic resistant structures. Current earthquakes show that the old houses, which are not intended to withstand earthquakes, have been harmed rather than the structures intended according to seismic regulations. Many current structures in Indonesia were intended only without seismic provisions to withstand the gravity loads. There is a need to study these buildings' vulnerability in order to prevent a severe danger. A Rapid Visual Screening (RVS) technique is conducted in this study to determine a Final Level 1 Score, SL1, for Jenderal Soedirman University, Indonesia’s educational facility buildings. In nine constructions situated in Purwokerto and Purbalingga, the method was implemented. Moreover, the final SL1 score is an estimate of the collapse probability if an earthquake occurs with ground motions called the maximum considered earthquake targeted risk, MCER. These score estimates are based on restricted observed and analytical information, thus the probability of collapse is therefore an approximation.
Purbalingga is regency with a potential moderately high seismicity requiring compliance of planning and implementation rules of the earthquake-resistant structural system. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the performance of a ten-story irregular apartment building model in Purbalingga due to the seismic load. The study is necessarily conducted to provide information on impacts and mitigation strategies that should be implemented. This research was conducted based on the seismic capacity of 2002 and 2012 Indonesian National Standard (SNI) including linear static analysis, dynamic response analysis, and pushover analysis. Based on the direct static review, it shows that the base shear is reduced and the drift ratio level decreases respectively for X and Y direction.Meanwhile, based on the dynamic response analysis, the drift ratio level also decreases respectively for X and Y direction. Also, the pushover analysis indicates that the performance of this apartment building model is still at Immediate Occupancy (IO) level as the post-earthquake damage state that remains safe to occupy, essentially retains the pre-earthquake design strength and stiffness of the structure. The risk of life-threatening injury as a result of structural damage is very low, and although some minor structural repairs may be appropriate, these would generally not be required before occupancy
A need to predict the seismic vulnerability of current buildings has led to a heightened interest in study that deals with seismic vulnerability assessment methods. The easiest and fastest method, known as a walk-down survey or a street survey, involves just the superficial information accumulated during a short inspection of a building. This paper picks a fairly new seven-story academic building made of reinforced concrete (RC) located at the Jenderal Soedriman University in Purwokerto, Indonesia, which was designed in 2015 using construction details illustrative of that exact period, for FEMA 310 Tier 1 assessment in the context of Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering (PBEE). Mandatory checklists as a role of the region of seismicity and the building’s level of performance are done. The outcomes after a procedure projected the building in the case-study demonstrated a range of possible flaws and seismic vulnerability. Therefore, detailed comprehensive evaluation is intensely endorsed.
