Abstract

Construction industry has been one of the largest consumers of natural resources.One way to solve this demand is by utilizing the use of composite materials. EMMEDUE Building Systems is an Italian Company which produces composite panels in building structures. It has recently inagurated its production facility in the Philippines. Since Philippines is within the Pacific Ring of Fire, The panels produced by EMMEDUE needs to undergo seismic analysis in order to ensure that it can withstand seismic loads. A two-story structure made up of EMMEDUE panels is considered in the analysis. Seismic analyis was done using Time History Analysis Calculations was performed using ETABS Nonlinear v9.7.0, a finite element analysis software. Threee earthquake events was employed in the analysis namely, 1976 Friuli,Italy 1997 Umbria Marche,Italy and 1995 Kobe,Japan earthquakes. The stresses, story drifts and drift ratio were calculated and compared to structural codes to check for performance level. The 1976 Friuli, Italy Earthquake events the maximum response. The maximum calculated stress is 1.717 MPa which is below the 3.452 MPa allowable stress. The maximum story drift Am=7.078mm is below the allowed drift=71.750mm. The maximum drift ratio (0.051%) passed the 0.5% allowable drift ratio. The structure was within the Immediate Occupancy performance level.
