The objectives of this paper are to estimate differential column Shortening and to determine appropreate compensation amount in 52 story Amatapura Apartment in Indonesia. for this, a computer program based on PCA and CEB-FIP code is developed. The results show that Elastic and Creep strain are the main factors of column shortening and the maximum differential shortening is appeared near the middle of the building height. The results between field survey and estimation have some difference, the most influential factor of the difference can be lateral restraints provided by horizontal members, which cannot be handled in this developed program. Hence introducing the modification factors from various field survey, this program can be used properly in design and construction procedures.

Differential shortenings of columns in a highrise building must be considered in the design process to avoid unexpected damages in structural and nonstructural elements. While research activity has been reported in the literature on the development of estimation algorithms or prediction procedures of elastic and inelastic column shortenings, no algorithms or methods for compensation of differential shortenings. In this paper a compensation method for differential column shortenings in a high-rise is formulated as an optimization problem The simulated annealing algorithm is used to find optimal solutions. The performance of the proposed method is presented by using the well known examples developed by PCA.

A finite element model RIV-FEM2 for the hydrodynamic study in a river is developed based on two-dimensional shallow water wave equation and dissipative Galerkin's method. RIV-FEM2 consists of pre-processing, analysis processing and post-processing. Pre- and analysis processing is programmed with Fortran-77 and post-processing with turbo-Pascal respectively. The model is tested with two dimensional problems, including flow through bends, bridges, and symmetric contraction. The two dimensional tests shows stable and efficient results for various situations. Applicability of the model is verified by applying to natural river. The model will provide a basic contribution to the hydrodynamic analysis in a river.
