| dc.description.abstract | EC 2 standard and EC 8 standard as a parameter in determined the characteristic
of fundamental period. From the research, the analyses were conducted based on the
physical properties, and strength properties. The research is done in order to compare the properties of the building structure design under EC 2 standard and under EC 8 standard in determined the characteristic of fundamental period. Three types of frame were chosen. The frames were label as Regular Frame, Irregular Frame with Transfer Beam, and
Irregular Frame with Setback. To achieve the research, all the analysis will be conducted
either design by manual calculation or computer added design (CAD). SAP 2000 were
used for the whole process of analysis during the research been conducted. As a result,
either less physical properties in term of size, area, and amount of the reinforcement bars
or less strength properties such as of yield, displacement, tensile resistance, inelastic
behavior and stiffness based on structure design under EC 2 standard, produced the
higher value of fundamental period from structure design under EC 8 standard. In terms
of load distribution, the bigger value for bending moments of structure resulting the
higher value of fundamental period. As an additional conclusion, the lesser value of the
fundamental period value, the more safe for the occupants. Besides that, the cost of
constructing the building was high based on the physical properties. Refer to this
statement, structure design under EC 8 standards were not practical to construct in
Malaysia. | en_US |
