This study aims to study the seismic behavior of existing reinforced concrete buildings (hospital buildings) with the use of bracing to obtain a higher level of performance. The study uses a nonlinear finite element structural analysis method, namely pushover analysis, to obtain a capacity curve. The scope of the study is an existing building located in a high earthquake zone (Bandung Regency, Indonesia) with SDs values of 0.89 g and SD1 of 0.49 g. The types of bracing used in this study are concentrically braced frame types V- and X-bracing. Steel bracing is placed on the portal section of th

The connection capacity, initial stiffness, ductility ratio, and strain energy are investigated through a series of full-scale experiments. The specimens use glulam made of meranti wood (shorea sp.). The results show that the failure in the connections is mainly in both top and bottom parts of the connections due to beam bending moments. The ductility of the co

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
