Earthquakes are one of the primary considerations in structural design. The application of earthquake-resistant design has been increasingly implemented in recent years, particularly in steel structures. One such system is the Eccentrically Braced Frame (EBF), which is often selected by engineers due to its balanced combination of strength, ductility, and lateral stiffness. This study evaluates the structural performance level and ductility parameters of split-K type EBF systems used in office buildings with heights below 100 meters, specifically 48, 72, and 96 m. Nonlinear static (pushover) a

Reliable cost and schedule estimates are supported by accurate and early predictions of steel weight per unit area (tons/m²). This study used 180 historical projects constructed in Indonesia (2010–2024) to compare the use of artificial neural networks (ANNs) and multiple regression analysis (MRA) in predicting steel weight per unit area in industrial buildings. The collected data were the actual construction of 180 projects of industrial buildings with various parameters that influ

Population growth and economic development significantly impact urban conditions, environmental quality, social equity, and national welfare. Large-scale housing development ideally aims to create a harmonious and optimal environment. Consequently, optimizing land use at the city level must consider the efficiency and effectiveness of building new residential areas. This study utilizes a Geographic Information System (GIS) to analyze optimization and limiting funct
Read MoreThis study presents the development and application of a custom script utilizing the visual programming language BHoM (Building Habitat Object Models) to automate the modeling and structural analysis process in the finite element method for steel frame buildings. The script was evaluated through testing on a prototype structure featuring mixed roofs and a steel framework. Structural analysis was conducted using conventional methods in the second phase, allowing for a comparative assessment. Results indicate a significant optimization in terms of time and cost, particularly in the quantity and

To reduce the damage of the traditional steel frames under strong earthquakes, a type of prefabricated steel frame structure with self-centering rocking column footings was proposed. The construction details and working mechanism of the frame were introduced. A rocking steel frame with a scale ratio of 1/4 was designed and manufactured. The low-cycle reversed loading tests and finite element simulation were carried out on the specimen to investigate its seismic performance. The research results show that the rocking steel frame realizes the controllable rocking of the column footings under
