This study focused on the Poisson regression with excess zero outcomes on the response variable. A generalized linear modelling technique such as Poisson regression model and Negative Binomial model was found to be insignificant in explaining and handle over dispersion which due to high amount of zeros thus Zero Inflated model was introduced to overcome the problem. The application work on the number of road accidents on F001 Jalan Jb - Air Hitam. Data on road accident were collected for five-year period from 2010 through 2014. The result from analysis show that ZINB model performed best, in terms of the comparative criteria based on the P value less than 0.05.
Structural response of reinforced concrete (RC) elements for analysis and design are often obtained using the positive phase of the blast pressure curve disregarding the negative phase assuming insignificant contribution from the negative phase of the loading. Although, some insight on the effect of negative phase of blast pressure based on elastic single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) analysis was presented before, the influence of negative phase on different types of resistance functions of SDOF models and on realistic finite element analysis has not been explored. In this study, the effects of inclusion of pulse negative phase on structural response of RC elements from SDOF analysis and from more detailed finite element analysis have been investigated. Investigation of SDOF part has been conducted using MATLAB code that utilizes non-linear resistance functions of SDOF model. Detailed numerical investigation using finite element code DIANA was conducted on the significance of the negative phase on structural response. In the FE model, different support stiffness was used to explore the effect of support stiffness on the structural response due to blast negative phase.
RESULTS from SDOF and FE analyses present specific situations where the effect of large negative phase was found to be significant on the structural response of RC elements.
