In this article, the applicability of mode-adaptive bidirectional pushover analysis (MABPA) to base-isolated irregular buildings was evaluated. The point of the updated MABPA is that the peaks of the first and second modal responses are predicted considering the energy balance during a half cycle of the structural response. In the numerical examples, the main building of the former Uto City Hall, which was severely damaged in the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake, was investigated as a case study for the retrofitting of an irregular reinforced concrete building using the base-isolation technique. The comparisons between the predicted peak response by MABPA and nonlinear time-history analysis results showed that the peak relative displacement can be properly predicted by MABPA. The results also showed that the performance of the retrofitted building models was satisfactory for the ground motion considered in this study, including the recorded motions in the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake.

In this article, the main building of the former Uto City Hall, which was severely damaged in the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake, is investigated as a case study for the retrofitting of an irregular Reinforced Concrete building using the base-isolation technique. Its peak response is predicted via mode-adaptive bidirectional pushover analysis (MABPA), which was originally proposed by the authors. In the prediction step of MABPA, the peaks of the first and second modal responses are predicted considering the energy balance during a half cycle of the structural response. The numerical analysis results show that the peak relative displacement can be properly predicted by MABPA. The results also show that the performance of the retrofitted building models is satisfactory for the ground motion considered in this study, including the recorded motions in the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake.

Capacity Index

The seismic capacity of the main Uto City Hall building, which was severely damaged by the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake, was evaluated by the proposed pushover-based procedure. In this procedure, the seismic capacity index of the building is defined as the maximum scaling factor of the seismic input, for which the local responses do not exceed their limit values. From the pushover analysis result, the displacement limit of the equivalent single-degree-of-freedom model was determined. Then, the seismic capacity index was evaluated using an equivalent linearization technique. The evaluated index was re-evaluated by considering the bidirectional excitation. The pushover analysis result revealed that the torsional response is significant in the nonlinear behavior of this building. The evaluated seismic capacity implied that some structural damages, including the yielding of the beam-column joint, may have occurred during the first earthquake on 14 April 2016.

The Structure of Reinforced concrete building using kalsi floor plate is one alternative for reduced the weight of the building structure. The floor plate usually used conventional concrete, can be replaced with kalsi floor 20. The aim of the research is to analysis of the behavior of reinforced concrete building using conventional concrete slabs and kalsi floor 20. The building structure as the model in this research is the building structure of four floors and was designed to follow the rules of SNI 2847: 2013. Evaluation of seismic behavior in accordance with the SNI 1726: 2012 was conducted out by applying pushover analysis using SAP 2000 software. The analysis results showed that drift ratio of plates floor structure models smaller than the kalsi floor plate structure. The pushover analysis results show the level of performance of all structural models according to FEMA-356 / ATC-40 able to provide nonlinear behavior which is indicated by the initial phase of the majority of plastic joints on beam elements and beam sway mechanism. The performance level of the structure with conventional concrete slab includes at immediate occupancy level, while the performance level of the structure with with kalsi floor plate includes at life safety level.

Isolation Performance

Vibration problems can occur in any buildings due to the surrounding activities and becomes more important issues amongst engineers. The vibration can be induced by internal and external sources around the building. The movement of earthquake can be caused of vibration in the building. The vibration will affect the electronic equipment such as computers and may cause the residents to feel uncomfortable in the building. The objective of this paper is to investigate the performance of base isolator at reinforced concrete building due to low amplitude vibration by using finite element ANSYS software. The prediction on vibration response at structural floor based on performance with base isolator and without base isolator. The presence of base isolator is expected to produce more stable and safe building from any vibration either from internal or external excitation. It will increase the stiffness of the structure and thereby reduces its natural frequency. The building will respond to the seismic activity in a rigid manner rather than resonating with its frequency. In terms of sustainability aspects, it will avoid the damaged buildings from the crack etc. and provide more comfort to the occupants inside the building.
