ABSTRACT
Essentially multi-stories structures are vulnerable to earthquake, especially the
ones with irregular geometry will undergo a much larger displacement compared to
regular building. SNI 03-1726-2012 regulates whether a building is categorized as
regular building or irregular building along with analytical method which can be used to
such building. This research will give an insight about the displacement on regular
building and irregular building, and also about irregular building which still can be
analyzed using the static lateral force method which should only be used to analyze
regular building.
This research shall be conducted by constructing several multi frame system
building model with 10 (ten) stories of regular and irregular building, then the
displacement of irregular buildings are compared against the displacement of regular
buildings to comprehend the behavior of irregular building, and also all the building
models are then analyzed using the static lateral force method and response spectrum
analysis..
The result of the research shows that the displacement of irregular structure
varied up to a 100% in several model from the displacement of a regular structure, and
some of the assumed irregular structure can be analyzed using the static lateral method
since the method offers a relatively larger displacement value compared to displacement
value of response spectrum analysis.
