A building that looks strong enough might possibly collapse due to the earthquake load. Earthquake resistant design is generally based on an analysis of elastic structures that are given a load factor to simulate ultimate conditions. When an earthquake occurs, the collapse behavior of a building structure is inelastic. Evaluations that can estimate the inelastic condition of buildings during an earthquake are analyzed using pushover analysis. Pushover analysis is the nonlinear static load of the structural collapse behavior of an earthquake, while the performance point is the magnitude of the maximum displacement of the structure during a earthquake. The inelastic structure analysis and evaluation method used computer application SAP 2000. Evaluation results of structural performance levels according to Applied Technology Council 40 (ATC-40) on the X and Y direction structure, the maximum total drift and total inelastic drift maximum values in the X and Y directions included in the Immediate Occupancy (IO) level category (maximum drift value of a building structure 0.00047 < 0.005).
Piles are structural elements which play an important role to carry loads and transfer them to the ground. In a jetty structure, the critical lateral loads supported by piles are mostly from Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) vessels. This research investigates various pile configuration such as pile diameter (40 cm, 60 cm, and 80 cm), distance between pile (2,5 m and 5 m), and the slope of the pile (straight pile and sloping pile with the ratio 1:8). A series of analysis has been conducted using SAP 2000 program. The analysis results show that a smaller pile deflection can be obtained if a large diameter pile is used, distance between piles is 2.5 m, and the type of piles being installed is a sloping pile.
Flows that occur in rivers are usually accompanied by scouring/erosion and sedimentation/deposition processes. The scouring process that occurs can be caused by river morphological conditions and the existence of river structures that obstruct the flow. Structures such as bridge piers can change flow patterns so that in general can cause local scouring. One method for reducing the scouring that occurs around a bridge pier is to consider the shape of the pier bridge design. One of the most common pier bridge designs is the oblong shape. This research aims to find out the effect of streamlining the oblong pier shape on the change in flow characteristic and scour depth reduction using FLOW-3D numerical modeling.
Waves are an alternative energy source that can be used for electricity generation. Wave Energy Converter (WEC) system in perforated breakwater is potentially applicable WEC system for coastal area. The magnitude of wave energy generated is determined by the volume of sea water inside the perforated breakwater. This volumetric flow rate is calculated using the flow velocity at perforated holes on the structure slope. Therefore, this research aims to study the velocity magnitude by analyzing the interrelation among wave steepness, wave run-up and relative velocity. The method used consists of applying numeric 3D flow model in the perforated structure of the breakwater with the variation of wave height, wave period and structure slope. The result shows that, the steeper the structure, the bigger is the relative run up (Ru/H). The higher the relative run up, the higher are the relative run-up velocities (V/Vru). As the velocity increase, the volumetric flow rate inside perforated breakwater will be higher, which leads to higher wave energy. Hence, it can be concluded that the higher the velocities (V/Vru), the higher is the wave energy generated.
Pier is part of the structure under the bridge. The existence of a pier in the river flow causes changes in river flow patterns. Changes in the flow pattern will result in local scouring around the pier. This study aims to determine the effect of the shape of the pier on the potential for local scour that occurs around the pier, and the flow characteristics around the pier. This studymodelled the existing conditions of the Ciujung Bridge, where the Ciujung Bridge uses an oblong pier shape, and the shape will be replaced with a lenticular model pier. FLOW-3D (CFD) software will be used to modelled flow characteristics and the depth of scour that occurs.
