1. Background
According to seismic hazard map the risk is big enough. The peak
ground acceleration can be greater than 0,30 g. In the figure 1 shows
the seismic acceleration according to Indonesia Building code [SNI
1726-2002]

In Indonesia there are three plates exist, they are Eurasian plate in
north, Indian/Australian plate in south and Pasific plate in east.

Which are v = velocity, g = gravitation, 9,81 m/s and h = the deep
of see level (m) an the epicentre.
In the figure 4, there is a ship for Power Generator of a 7.5 MW. This
Ship swept away as far as 4 km from the beach in to inland. Before
tsunami the ship was standing at the beach.

Figure 4:
After tsunami this Ship has
moved 4 km from original
location at the beach.
Although there was the information that nearly 80 bridges fell down
on the road along the western coast from Banda Aceh to Meulaboh,
the correct figure is unknown. In figure 5 shows that the girder of one
bridges in Banda Aceh is washed a way caused by tsunami waves.
The piers are still standing.

Note:
It is also need to think that in tsunami region to add the horizontal
load by tsunami wave.

Until now no Building Code has been made for the building to endure
the tsunami waves.

• Damage by Liquefaction.
By the earthquake in special soil condition there are other cases which
make damages in the building. This case it calls liquefaction.

Even though the people in Northern Sumatra still have trauma with
Aceh Earthquake/tsunami December 26th, 2004 three months later
other Earthquake happen again. That was Nias Earthquake on March
28th, 2005. The epicentre of this earthquake was around 40O km
from epicentre of Aceh Earthquake in south direction. The Magnitude
of this earthquake was 8.7 and the depth of the epicentre was 30 km.
The worst damages happened in Nias Island, such as in Gunung
Sitoli, Teluk Dalam. Nias Island is around 150 km from Sumatra
Island.

The typical causes of the damages during this earthquake are as
follows:
Figure 16 shows the shop house has that was destroyed by Nias
Earthquake. The owner of the shop house was a rich man in this city.
But he did not know or care about his shop houses. This two-story
shop house was very famous in this region. But the houses has killed
the owner and his family during earthquake.

2.4. Padang/West Sumatra Earthquake March 6th, 2007
The Earthquake had a magnitude of 6.4 and struck close to the city
of Padang in the west part of the island. The Earthquake was preceded
by two tremors, magnitude 4.8 and 4.9, which caused panic. As the
result, people fled their homes and buildings, and this, in turn,
reduced the number of casualties from the main shock. The main
shock was followed by many aftershocks. The damage from the
earthquake was substantial and caused the collapse of industrial
buildings, mosques, homes, schools, and businesses. The depth of
hypocenter was 30 km.
• The ductility is too low. See Figure 18. These shop houses used
framing concrete structure with 2 stories. The damage was in
soft story. This damages was typical in this region.
Figure 18:
This structure of the building used framing. The lateral-story stiffness
and strength were significantly less for the upper floors and resulted
in a soft-story collapse of the first story.

Figure 20: Soft Story
These are buildings that are designed and constructed as per the
standard-engineered practices. In case of buildings, engineered
construction are those that are supposed to be designed by a
competent engineer or architect and have undergone the formal
process of regular building permit by the municipal or other pertinent
authority. The formal building permit process is supposed to require
involvement of an architect/engineer in the design and construction
for ensuring compliance to the existing building code and planning by
16
laws. In most developing countries, formal building permit process is
observed only in urban areas. In developing countries, building codes
(with earthquake safety consideration) either do not exist, or not
implemented strictly.
Generally designing the of plan and the structure of the building would
be as the following :
1. Static Equivalent
2. Response Spectra
3. Time History Analysis
Horizontal Load
C
V= I .Wt
R
V : earthquake Loading
C : acceleration according to the responses of spectra
I : importance factor of the building
R : Reduction base on ductility of the structure
Wt : Weight of the structure

4. Conclusion and recommendation
There are 6 big Earthquakes from 2004 until 2016 that occurred in
Sumatra. Learning from the six earthquakes, it can be summarized
as follows:
• The quality of building materials is not good
• Many buildings are damaged because they are not designed by
architects/engineers
• Knowledge of earthquake resistant construction is still lacking
in the community
• Knowledge of earthquake calculations in engineering experts is
lacking
• Socialization of earthquake hazards in the community is still
lacking
• Knowledge of the manufacture of high quality concrete is still
lacking
• Knowledge of assembling reinforcement in concrete
construction is still lacking
