PRAKATA

Metode ASD (Allowable Stress Design) dalam struktur baja telah cukup lama digunakan, namun beberapa tahun terakhir metode desain dalam struktur baja mulai beralih ke metode lain yang lebih rasional, yakni metode LRFD (Load Resistance and Factor Design). Metode ini didasarkan pada ilmu probabilitas, sehingga dapat mengantisipasi segala ketidakpastian dari material maupun beban. Oleh karena itu, metode LRFD ini dianggap cukup andal. Peraturan Perencanaan Bangunan Baja Indonesia (PPBBI 1987) telah diganti dengan Tata Cara Perencanaan Struktur Baja untuk Bangunan Gedung, SNI 03-1729-2002 yang berbasis pada metode LRFD.

Buku ini mencoba memberikan penjelasan mengenai perencanaan struktur baja dengan menggunakan konsep LRFD tersebut. Dalam perencanaan struktur baja metode LRFD yang digunakan dalam buku ini, semuanya berpedoman pada SNI 03-1729-2002 yang telah disebutkan sebelumnya.

Dalam buku ini, dibahasa mengenai konsep dasar LRFD, pengenalan material baja, batang tarik dan tekan, sambungan (baut dan las), komponen struktur balok-kolom, komponen struktur komposit serta jenis-jenis sambungan pada konstruksi bangunan baja.

Selain dapat digunakan oleh mahasiswa Teknik Sipil, buku ini juga dapat dijadikan pedoman perencanaan bagi konsultan maupun praktisi yng berkecimpung di dunia struktur baja.

PREFACE

Knowledge and imagination are essential components of the design process. Imagination without knowledge will quite often produce designs that are dangerous. Knowledge absent imagination can only produce designs of limited scope. The development and integration of these themes is the objective of this book.

My hope is to advance the reader’s ability to design by reducing existing experimentally developed conclusions to design-relevant relationships and limit states. The reduction of experimental data to a usable form is essential to the design process because an engineer, faced with a design decision, cannot confidently develop a design approach from experiment data or basic principles as a part of each design, especially if the basic principle is not a part of his or her working vocabulary. Behavior models must also be available to and accepted by the designer.

INTRODUCTION

This book is primarily about design, which, as I use the term, is the creative process that seeks the proper blend of essential ingredients—specifically function, aesthetics, economy, and, in the context of this book, seismic behavior. There exists no single formula for creating a good design, for the design process involves making a set of decisions on issues for which no absolutely right answer exists. Thus the designer is continually seeking a comfortable rationally based design solution, and two identical solutions are not likely to be produced even successively by the same constructive designer.

Tools are essential to the completion of almost every task. I have tried to assemble, in as concise a form as possible, the tools necessary to the pursuit of a good design. From the extensive library of experimental efforts, I have selected representative works and demonstrated how both strength and deformation limit states might be predicted. Next, I review alternative design approaches and, in the process, simplify and adapt them to specific types of bracing systems. Finally I describe how designs might be comprehensively reviewed.

The focus of the book is concrete and the emphasis is on precast concrete. I have limited the scope to the satisfaction of seismic behavior objectives because the topic is complex and, though extensively studied and codified, not necessarily well understood by the structural design profession. The fact that seismic design can be reduced to an understandable level that can be creatively introduced into a building program makes it an ideal vehicle to study the design process.

Preface

I believe that the contents of this book will prove to be extremely valuable to practising engineers, students and teachers in the field of reinforced concrete design. There are many excellent books available dealing with the design of reinforced concrete elements but, in my opinion, they lack completeness in certain ways. The design of a reinforced concrete member requires many checks in a systematic structured manner and the step-by-step approach adopted in this book is intended to ensure that the design process is complete in all respects. It is my view that the member itself, when fully designed, does not constitute a complete design because it ignores the connections to other members and to the foundation that are needed to provide true completeness of design for the structure. I have attempted here to elucidate the necessary global analysis. Also, most books on reinforced concrete design do not deal with the aspects of soil structure interaction problems and are hence incomplete.

The highly structured step-by-step methodology I have used makes the book fully comprehensive and user-friendly. Accordingly, the task of quality assurance becomes less arduous and the product or output of a design office becomes fully standardised if this approach is strictly followed. For students, the book should prove to be invaluable because the essential elements of the theory of reinforced concrete are discussed, followed by a structured approach to the design of all elements in a building, including foundations and the connections of the reinforced concrete members to each other to create a complete building. The numerous worked examples should be very useful to students and practitioners alike. The book also presents practical advice on designing reinforced concrete elements and the student should benefit from learning the methods adopted in a design consultancy.

My intention has been to illustrate the design principles at each stage by using a profusion of sketches. The book includes many more illustrations than a standard textbook on reinforced concrete because it was felt necessary to clear all ambiguities in the codes of practice by the use of diagrams, an approach which should appeal to both practising engineers and students.

The book includes a lot more new design aids than are usually found in the available books. For instance, the tables and charts included in this book for the design of solid slabs and flat slabs cannot be found in other published textbooks on the subject. References to many published books on the subject of reinforced concrete are also given.

I would like to thank the British Standards Institution for their kind permission to reproduce some of the essential tables from the codes of practice. I also wish to thank the US Army Armament Research and Development Centre, Picatinny Arsenal, NJ and Amman and Whitney, Consulting Engineers, New York for granting permission to reproduce the extremely useful charts on the yield-line design of slabs in Chapter 3.
