Study on Basement and Shear wall response by using fem / Mohd Khairulnizam Mohmmed Haasan

Basement is required to transfer the lateral and vertical load. In this study, the plans of
building in Alor Star are used to create the modeling of the basement. Two types of
basement are analyzed in this study. First is actual basement and second is simplified
basement. Actual basement base on the actual plan and simplified basement are simple
basement that rebuild base on actual basement.
LUSAS software is used as computer simulation. From LUSAS software, the basement
and shear wall responses can be determined. The response values of the basement are
including the displacements and stress values.
Slab, wall, core wall with opening and without opening are analyzed by using LUSAS
software. Both results from actual and simplified basement model of slab, wall, core
wall with opening and without opening are compared to find which one have more
highest strength.
