<![CDATA[Indonesia’s seismic conditions make evaluating structural capacity under earthquake loads an important aspect of ensuring building safety. This study aims to evaluate the performance of the Eight-Story Educational Facility Building in Parepare City and determine its structural capacity to withstand the applied earthquake loads. The study employed a quantitative approach using pushover analysis assisted by ETABS based on SNI 1726:2019 and ATC-40. Lateral loading was applied incrementally to obtain the capacity curve, performance point, plastic hinge, and performance level. The analysis results showed that the performance point in the X direction had a target displacement of 189.507 mm with a base shear of 2,177.205 kN, while in the Y direction it was 164.252 mm with a base shear of 2,185.046 kN. Element responses were greater in the lower part of the building than in the upper part. Under the Life Safety condition, several elements showed responses of approximately 1.024, while under Collapse Prevention, the response reached approximately 0.883. Although the response increased, the structure remained capable of resisting deformation and transferring forces without losing strength or stiffness that could lead to collapse. The evaluation results indicate that the structural capacity remains adequate for the earthquake demand. According to ATC-40, the structural performance level falls within the Immediate Occupancy (IO) category, indicating that the building’s stability and functionality can be maintained after the analyzed earthquake loading.]]>
