Wiryanto Dewobroto, Mr Life Talk – “Earthquake Resistant Steel Building Planning”

Jakarta, November 25, 2023 – Cipta Sukses had the opportunity to hold a live seminar with Professor of Pelita Harapan University, Mr. Wiryanto Dewobroto. Where engineers discussed directly with resource persons, this was enthusiastically welcomed by engineers to increase knowledge.

Regarding the theme to be discussed, namely “Earthquake Resistant Steel Building Planning”, it is more focused on providing engineers with an understanding that structural analysis and design are two different things, analysis is elastic and design itself is elastic and inelastic. For the best results, it is not enough to just follow the code but it is necessary to understand the basic theory of how the code is compiled, said Mr. Wiryanto.

The character of the structural system, depending on the material, geometric configuration and mass of the building, determines the collapse behavior during a major earthquake. This must be understood and mastered for general earthquake resistant building planning.
