A survived three-story RC building after the 2007 <br>Sumatra earthquake was considered as an analytical model. The building was located in Padang city, West <br>Sumatera, Indonesia. The model was analyzed for pushover and time history analyses. The pushover analysis <br>was conducted followed UBC code and the recorded ground acceleration of 2009 West Sumatra earthquake <br>was applied as input motion in time history analysis. The structural detail and material properties used in the <br>analysis were collected from site investigated building after 2007 Sumatra earthquake. Two analytical RC <br>building models were analyzed and compared in this study, i.e. bare RC frame model and brick masonry infilled <br>RC frame model. The results of the analytical study were compared to the resume of the field observation after <br>the earthquake for the considered building. The analytical results are clearly shown that the brick masonry <br>infills may significantly improve the seismic capacity of the RC building. The RC building could be survived <br>to large ground motion even the building was designed by applying the old Indonesia building code.</p>}, number={57}, journal={GEOMATE Journal}, author={Jafril Tanjung and Maidiawati and Aditya Alfajri}, year={2019}, month={Jan.}, pages={42–48} }
