The island of Sulawesi is classified as seismically active in Indonesia, requiring buildings to be constructed in such a way that they do not collapse during an earthquake. One cause of building damage is the inability to withstand the dissipation of structural elements due to an earthquake. Evaluating structural performance is an effective way of mitigating the impact of earthquakes. This study evaluates the B.J. Habibie Institute of Technology Laboratory building in Parepare using linear dynamic time history analysis with ETABS. The analysis results show excessive lateral displacement in the X direction of the building due to the Eketahuna, Duzce, and Miyagioki earthquakes, while in the Y direction of the building, the displacement occurred during the Duzce earthquake, exceeding the national standard limit of 82.80 mm. The maximum deflection ratio from the Duzce earthquake with a magnitude of 7.14 resulted in an inter-story deflection ratio of 0.035 mm, which is still safe because it is below the limit of 13.50 mm according to seismic design provisions. The structural performance of the six recorded ground motion earthquake loads, as per ATC-40, is at the Immediate Occupancy (IO) level, indicating that the structure remains stable and can be immediately reoccupied after the earthquake.
