center of the crowd as the place where many universities are located. Seeing the
increasing population and decreasing land is a challenge to developing vertical housing.
The Alton Apartment is located on Jalan Prof. Sudarto no.10 Pedalangan, Banyumanik
District. The residence in the apartment has two basement floors, five podium floors, and
25 floors for each of the 3 towers. The total height of the building is 96.7 m from the
basement floor (Suwandi, 2019).
With the condition of the building, which is a category of high-rise buildings, it is
necessary to review the reliability of the structure from the earthquake side and the
elements that hold the earthquake force. The city of Semarang, within a radius of 500 km,
has several faults as follows (Masbudi, Purwanto, & Supriyadi, 2015). The first fault, the
Pati fault, has a strike-slip mechanism with a value of 6.8 magnitude. The second fault,
the Lasem fault, has a strike-slip mechanism with a value of 6.5 magnitude. Another
earthquake source is the Java megathrust subduction, which has a reverse mechanism of
8.3 magnitude (Muttaqin & Afifuddin, 2020). The overall data collection is used to find
out each potential source that can produce energy for soil movements heading to the city
of Semarang. Data collection was recorded by the Meteorology, Climatology, and
Geophysics Agency/BMKG, then the international institution National Earthquake
Information Center, and the U.S. Geological Survey/NEIC-USGS. Earthquake data was
collected from 1900 to 2013 with a minimum of 5 Mw and a maximum magnitude
(Mmax) of 8.3 Mw (Partono, Irsyam, & Wardani, 2017).
At the time of planning, Alton Apartments used old regulations, including SNI
1726-2012 for earthquake resistance, SNI 1727-2013 for minimum load design, and SNI
1729-2015 for structural steel buildings. Seeing the high level of operational buildings
and the need to adapt to earthquake resistance rules for buildings, damage mitigation is
needed through pushover analysis or non-linear static analysis procedures. Pushover
Analysis is a method of evaluating the structure contained in a new concept for earthquake
engineering based on Performance Seismic Evaluation (PBSE) (Nabhilla & Hayu, 2020).
This analysis method includes a specific static load with a lateral direction that is
increased gradually until the collapse of the structural element is achieved due to the
presence of plastic joints or reaching a specific displacement target (Andrio & Masagala,
2022).
Previous research related to the evaluation of building structure performance using
pushover analysis, such as those conducted at RSGM UGM Prof. Soedomo Building,
Faculty of Law, Sam Ratulangi University Manado, podium-type multi-story building
structures, buildings with soft first stories, Postgraduate Building of the Faculty of
Mathematics and Natural Sciences UGM, and the University of Indonesia Teaching
Hospital Building, as well as the Graha Wiyata UNTAG Building Surabaya, the research
has similar objectives and analysis methods. Namely to evaluate the performance of
building structures against earthquake loads using pushover analysis. The results showed
that the structure's performance was at a certain level of performance, such as Immediate
Occupancy, which indicates the ability of the building to be reused after an earthquake
without significant structural damage (Nabhilla & Hayu, 2020).
