EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT CONSTRUCTION BOOK

I am an Indonesian citizen who focuses on earthquake-resistant construction analysis. In the world of building construction, I am a lecturer at a University as well as an analyst for earthquake-resistant structures for multi-story buildings and bridges. I am one of the analysts and building construction practitioners who have 15 Intellectual Property Rights regarding the strength of a building construction from the Government of Indonesia.

Why is this book presented to the structural analysis team?

This BOOK is presented as a maximum effort in responding to failures that often occur due to earthquakes by knocking down a construction building, and maximum efforts in producing an Earthquake Resistant Structural Analysis Model to prevent serious structural failures that can have an impact on the safety aspect of human life.

Earthquake events (when and where) are natural phenomena that are extremely difficult to detect and which cause enormous losses throughout the earth. In the last 1 year, based on records from the USGS (United States Geological Survey) earthquakes (and their after-effects, tsunamis) have caused 300 thousand lives and 1000 trillion material losses. Because until today, earthquake engineering and prediction have not reached a final solution, the study of engineering aspects of earthquake-resistant structures remains a relevant research object. In the past 10 years, the concept of earthquake-resistant design has shifted from a design concept based on the strength of a structure or construction element to a design concept based on boundary conditions (Limit States Design), which is called Performance-Based Design (PBD). Changes in design philosophy in building standards or codes were first published in the Structural Engineering Association of California (SEAOC) and Applied Technology Council (ATC) 1995. Then the new concept was published in NEHRP 1997, FEMA 302 and UBC 1997. And, the last one was published in NEHRP 1997, FEMA 302 and UBC 1997. SEAOC Vision 2000.. This shift is due to several reasons, namely: 1. Based on the reaction to the occurrence of construction failures in conventional design methods based on design strength in several major earthquake events (Reconnaisance Reports of 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, 1994 Northridge earthquake and 1995 Kobe earthquake). Traditional methods are seen as less accurate in accommodating earthquake loads and their impacts. 2. There is a need for structural control (Structural Performance), which is primarily aimed at preventing earthquake resistance during strong earthquakes.Who knows the contents of the book as a study in the analysis of earthquake-resistant building structures.
