Performance Analysis of Steel Portal Structures with Braces Designed Based on Allowable Interstory Drift Limits

Abstract. The earthquake resistant steel frame structure is designed to be able to withstand large inelastic deformations in the case of an earthquake. The applicable regulations still allow the use of elastic design methods in the form of pushover analysis and time history analysis evaluation as the basis for the design. The building under consideration consists of six floors with the function as an office building. The location of the building is in Banda Aceh with soft soil conditions. The structural analysis used the help of the Extended Three Dimensional Analysis of Building System Program (ETABS). The method of analysis of steel portal structures used was pushover analysis. Analysis of the given load was static loading based on 1987 PPPURG, and earthquake dynamic loading used a variety of response spectrum procedure analysis based on SNI 03-1726-2012. Structural analysis was assumed to be the strong column weak beam concept. From the results of calculations, it is found that the steel portal structures (with and without braces) designed based on allowable interstory drift limits have met the requirements. The performance level of the steel portal structure without bracing was LS, while the performance level of the steel portal structure using bracing was IO. The largest amount of steel used in terms of weight was found in the case of a portal without braces.
