Abstract
Effect of Tsunami Loads on Ulak Karang Shelter Building in Padang City
Highlights
West Sumatra province, especially in Padang City, is an area that prone to earthquake and tsunami because it was loacated in the two plate adjacent (Indian and Asian coastline)
The design consultant did not consider the tsunami loads in designing the structure of the Ulak Karang Shelter due to there is no standard code in Indonesia for designing the tsunami shelter
The structures of Ulak karang shelter should be evaluated before using as a vertical evacuation building due to tsunami disaster
Summary
West Sumatra province, especially in Padang City, is an area that prone to earthquake and tsunami because it was loacated in the two plate adjacent (Indian and Asian coastline). 29,05 MPa) and yield strength of reinforcement (fy) was 400 MPa. All working loads are taken into account including the dead load / weight of its own building, live load, seismic (earthquake) load, and tsunami loads. The design consultant did not consider the tsunami loads in designing the structure of the Ulak Karang Shelter due to there is no standard code in Indonesia for designing the tsunami shelter. The structures of Ulak karang shelter should be evaluated before using as a vertical evacuation building due to tsunami disaster. The Ulak Karang Shelter was evaluated based on FEMA-646 standard code [1]. The dead load includes all components of the building structure, namely beams, columns, plates, and load-bearing walls. Hydrodinamic Force Hydrodynamic force is a combination of horizontal forces caused by the compressive force of moving water and the friction caused by the flow around the structure [1]
