ANALISIS PUSHOVER PADA BANGUNAN DENGAN SOFT FIRST STORY

JURNAL SIPIL STATIK, 2014
Ketidakberaturan konfigurasi bangunan dalam perencanaan struktur tidak dapat dihindari, termasuk ketidakberaturan kekakuan tingkat lunak yang terjadi pada lantai pertama bangunan. Melihat pengaruh desain tersebut terhadap gempa bumi, salah satu metode analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis Pushover.

Seismic performance assessment of multi-story RC buildings with soft-story collapse mechanism equipped with gapped inclined bracing (GIB)

Structures, 2020
Gapped inclined bracing (GIB) is an innovative retrofit system for buildings with soft-story collapse mechanism. The system consists of a brace with gap element that activates before the structure approaches post-capping negative stiffness and collapse ...

New approximate method to identify soft story caused by infill walls

, 2020
When the stiffness of a story is much less than the story above it, a significant portion of lateral displacement of the building is concentrated in this story and soft story is formed. One of the main reasons of soft story in buildings is eliminating or

Los Angeles Soft Story Retrofit Benefits and Costs

2023
California has several seismically dangerous building types, but soft-story woodframe buildings are so numerous and vulnerable that San Francisco, Los Angeles, Oakland, and other cities have taken the unusual step of requiring that they be strengthened to better resist earthquakes 1,2,3,4.

Using Metallic Dampers to Improve Seismic Performance of Soft-Story RC Frames: Experimental and Numerical Study

Journal of performance of constructed facilities, 2019
The poor seismic response of gravityload-designed reinforced concrete (RC) frames with a soft story can be effectively controlled by using metallic dampers as passive energy dissipation dev...

Soft/Weak Story Problems and Solutions for Residential Structures

Improving the Seismic Performance of Existing Buildings and Other Structures, 2009
Wood-framed residential structures with soft, weak, or open-front walls are common in areas of high seismicity like the west coast of the United States. Parking below the residential portions of the building, or “tuck-under” parking, is particularly problematic in many buildings built in the 1960s through the 1980s, when stucco and gypsum board were ...

Full-Scale Tests of Gapped-Inclined Bracing System: Seismic Retrofit for Soft-Story Buildings

Journal of Structural Engineering, 2019
This paper presents the results of full-scale experimental validations of the gapped-inclined bracing (GIB) system, a novel structural device for the seismic retrofit of soft-story building...

Design of Soft Stories—A Simplified Energy Approach

Earthquake Spectra, 1997
Most specialists dealing with earthquake engineering agree that soft stories represent a major reason for buildings collapses during major earthquakes, but seismic forces acting upon soft stories have not yet been quantified. The author proposes an energy approach yielding equivalent static forces to be taken into account in the design of resisting ...

Soft journalism, politics and environmental risk: An Australian story

Journalism, 2011
Complex environmental science issues are regularly reported by the news media in highly personalized and symbolic terms in order to make the consequences of environmental degradation and risk comprehensible to the public. This article presents a case study showing how the tension between political statements, human-interest narratives and scientific ...

Seismic Vulnerability and Retrofit Alternatives for Typical Soft-story Buildings in Earthquake Prone Areas

Structural Engineering International, 2019
More than 300 buildings were severely damaged during the 19 September 2017 earthquake (Mw = 7.1) occurred in Morelos, Mexico. One of the most common structural deficiencies detected was the use of ground level parking that produced soft-story buildings ...
