Abstract

Every year, earthquakes cause injuries, deaths, severe structural damage to buildings and
destruction of property in many countries. In developing countries, economic growth depends on industrial
development. Therefore, if an earthquake occurs, it may cause severe damage to large industrial factories. This
present study aims to examine the structural behavior of industrial buildings under the earthquake force which
is a reinforced concrete building. The structure of an industrial building is different from a general building. In
this study, the factory is a four-story building with the dimensions of 34.4 meters in width, 59.2 meters in
length and 16.2 meters in height. In the analysis, the nonlinear dynamic procedure is applied to analyze the
building behaviors. The 20 seismic waves are selected and adjusted with the ASCE41-13. LMSR wave are
considered in x-direction and y-direction. From the results, the responses and damage of the industrial structure
are analyzed. The building has performed the soft story irregularity. The performance level for the acceptance
criteria, according to ASCE41-13 and FEMA365 is life safety performance level. Therefore, the industrial
factory building is needed to enhance the seismic capacity for damage prevention.
