Last September 15-18, 2015, the 5th International Conference
of Euro Asia Civil Engineering Forum (EACEF5) was held at Petra Christian
University in Surabaya, Indonesia with a theme of "Civil Engineering
Innovation for a Sustainable Future."
BSMS ERDT Scholar and now part-time faculty, Adrian Fredrick Dy presented a paper co-authored with his adviser, Dr. Andres Oreta at EACEF5 entitled, "Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of Soft Story
Irregular Buildings Using Pushover Analysis." The paper focuses on utilizing pushover analysis as a method
of refining preliminary seismic risk assessments for existing buildings. A static pushover analysis was utilized to determine the performance of a soft story building under different
irregularity conditions.The study has found that one of the primary concerns in vertical
irregularities is the localization of seismic demand. For soft story buildings,
the concentration of seismic demand is where the soft story is located. Data
from the pushover analysis is translated into score modifiers for the varying
soft story severity which may be used for preliminary risk assessment tools.

The Euro Asia Civil Engineering Forum (EACEF) was founded in 2006 in Germany by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Harianto Hardjasaputra (Universitas Pelita Harapan, Indonesia) and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Karl-Heinz Reineck, (University of Stuttgart, Germany). EACEF conferences are held every two years and have been held in Jakarta (2007), Langkawi (2009), Yogyakarta (2011) and Singapore (2013).
