Keywords: Pushover Analysis; Capacity Curve; Performance Point; Immediate Occupancy. I. Introduction The level of an earthquake risk in Indonesia is very high; sothe risk of building damages is very high too. In general, peredam gempa in concrete buildings shearwall, but in steel building is bracing. Bracing has two type, there are concentrically braced frame (CBF) and eccentrically bracedframe (EBF). Concentrically braced frame (CBF) is a steel frame structural system which has high elastic stiffness, while eccentrically braced frame (EBF) is a steel frame structural system which has a excellent elastic stiffness and good ductility. Concentrically braced frame (CBF) has many type, there are diagonal brace (tension/compression both), chevron brace (K-brace), X-crossbrace(tension/compression only), and iverted chevron brace. Chevron braced give a best performance during earthquake, while diagonal braced tension, diagonal braced compression, danx-braced (Chitte, 1). The method used to reduce a high risk of building damages due earthquake is performance basedseismic design. The concept of performance based seismic design determines the performance levelwhich is expected to be reached when the structure affected by earthquake with a certain intensity. Analysis is used in performance based seismic design is pushover analysis. Pushover analysis is behavior analysis of collapse building caused by earthquake, load of which is increased gradually until exceed load capacity, leads melt, deformation, and collapse. The purpose of pushover analysis is estimating maximum force, estimating deformation, and providing information about the critical part of building structure. Volume 1, Issue 1 available at www.scitecresearch.com/journals/index.php/ieps 19

This study analyzes behaviour of diagonal braced and chevron braced steel frame structure CBF(concentrically braced frames) with pushover analysis was conducted following ATC-guidelines.The purpose of this study is to compare the performance level of structure, plastic hinge mechanism, and the effectiveness of the model structure in earthquake resistant and reducing lateral displacements. II. Pushover Analysis Pushover analysis is behaviour analysis of collapse building caused by earthquake, load of which is increased gradually until exceed load capacity, leads melt, deformation, and collapse. The purpose of pushover analysis is estimating maximum force, estimating deformation, and providing information about the critical part of building structure. Pushover analysis results in capacity curve which describes the correlation of total lateral shear force (V) lateral displacement at roof (D) as shown at Figure 1. Fig. 1. Pushover curve (ATC-) The following is the explanation of pushover curvet Figure 1 based on structural and non-structural damages, such as: 1. At immediate occupancy level, damages caused by earthquake do not occur on structural and non-structural elements.. At life safety level, damages caused by earthquake do not occur onstructuralelements, but occur on non-structural elements such as fracture on walls. 3. At structural stability level, damages caused by earthquake occur on both structural and non-structural elements. As the result, the structure cannot endure lateral force. If the load is increased then the structure will collapse. The steps of pushover analysis in designing the structure of an earthquake resistant construction are: 1. Determining the control point to monitor the amount of displacement on structure.. Making capacity curve based on the various patterns of lateral force. 3. Estimating the amount of lateral displacement during earthquake plan or displacement target.. Evaluating the level of structure performance when the control points located exactly on the target of displacement while using ATC. The weaknesses of pushover analysis in designing an earthquake resistant construction are: 1. The analysis result is an approximation, because earthquake is two directional phenomenon in certain cycle, while the load in pushover analysis is static and monotonic.. The selection of lateral loading pattern used is crucial. 3. Non-linier analysis model is more complicated than linier. The performance of building structure in ATC- is divided into six level, such as: 1. Immediate occupancy, SP-1 On this level, the structural damage caused by earthquake is small. The characteristic and the capacity of vertical and lateral force resistant system do not change so the building is safe to use.. Damage control, SP- Volume 1, Issue 1 available at www.scitecresearch.com/journals/index.php/ieps

III. On this level, the value of earthquake load which is probable to exceed the 5 years duration of serviceability limit states is 1%. 3. Life safety, SP-3 On this level, some damages start to emerge significantly on the structure as the results of the earthquake occurrence. However, the structure can still endure the earthquake as the main component has not collapse. The structure is still usable with some reparation, but the damage often needs more cost.. Limited safety, SP- The condition of the structure on this level may not be as good as the Life Safety level and not as bad as the next Structural Stability level. 5. Structural stability, SP-5 On this level, the building has been damaged heavily on structural and non-structural component as the structure cannot endure the lateral force due to the consolidation. 6. Not considered, Sp-6 On this level, the building has collapsed. As the result, the structures not usable. The structure can only be evaluated seismically.
