Lombok Island is one of the earthquake-prone areas, located between two earthquake generators. Based on these conditions, it is expected that construction in earthquake-prone areas can meet the standards. Shear walls are one of the earthquake-resistant structural systems used to resist lateral forces. Three alternative shear wall shapes will be analyzed using the numerical method: the L, I, and T shapes. The types of loads to be analyzed are dead loads, live loads, and earthquakes. Drawing from the findings of the conducted analysis, it is discovered that the most effective shear wall position in resisting lateral forces is the shear wall located at the corner of the building, based on the values of the drift that occur in the x and y directions. In addition, increasing the number of shear walls can reduce the internal forces that structural components experience. The optimum drift value is obtained from alternative 1, the L-shaped shear wall (elbow), with a drift value of 0.000495 mm in the x direction and 0.000883 in the y direction.

Ring of Fire and at the intersection of three tectonic plates. Efforts are needed to minimize earthquake damage, one of which is the use of a base isolator system. This study aims to determine the effect of using High Damping Rubber Bearing (HDRB) with a diameter of 800 mm on the behavior of reinforced concrete structures in tall buildings under seismic loads. The research location is the 7-story Sapadia Hotel building in the city of Mataram. The research is conducted by analyzing a 3D model of the fixed base structure and the base isolator structure using numerical analysis. The results show an increase in the base displacement of the base isolator structure by 59% in the x-direction and 44% in the y-direction, while the inter-story displacement decreases by 36% in the x-direction and 69% in the y-direction. The use of base isolators can reduce the shear force by 35% in the x-direction and 15% in the y-direction. Based on the pushover analysis, the roof displacement values for the fixed base and base isolator structures are 0.159 m and 0.129 m respectively. These values can be used to determine the structural performance level according to ATC-40. The maximum drift value for the fixed base structure is 0.0055 m. For the base isolator structure, the maximum drift value is 0.0044 m, categorized as Immediate Occupancy (IO). This value can be used to determine the performance level of the structure based on ATC-40. The maximum drift value of the fixed base structure is 0.0055m. While in the base isolator structure, the maximum drift value is 0.0044 m which is included in Immediate Occupancy (IO). Thus, the use of base isolators in high-level buildings is able to reduce post-earthquake damage and the building is still safe to continue using.

The development of composite material engineering is an effective solution for the development of green building-based materials that are being campaigned in various parts of the country today. The fundamental problem in composite engineering that is developing is the lack of use of environmentally friendly materials as the basic material for composite constituents. The use of natural fiber-based composite materials as reinforcement is one of the right solutions to answer the issue of green building in producing more environmentally friendly materials with much better mechanical resistance. The study aims to determine the flexural characteristics of sandwich panel beams of sengon (SPS) in comparison to Meranti beams. The material used as skin for SPS beams is a composite of sisal fiber polyester from Sumbawa Island. Test standard based on ASTM C393 (length 550 mm, width 50 mm, thickness 25 mm), with a total of 5 specimens each. The test results showed that the SPS beams had an average bending stress of 167.66 MPa, while the Meranti wood beams produced an average bending stress of 94.29 MPa. The amount of bending stress produced by SPS beams is 43.38% higher than meranti wood beams. The average deflection value of SPS beams is 20.34 mm, greater than the average deflection value of sengon wood of 15.42 mm. This shows that the use of sisal polyester composite skin on SPS beams can produce better mechanical characteristics compared to Meranti wood.ABSTRAKPerkembangan rekayasa material komposit merupakan solusi yang efektif bagi pengembangan material berbasis green building yang sedang dikampanyekan di berbagai belahan negara saat ini. Permasalahan mendasar dalam rekayasa komposit yang tengah berkembang adalah minimnya penggunaan material ramah lingkungan sebagai bahan dasar penyusun komposit. Penggunaan material komposit berbasis serat alam sebagai perkuatan (reinforcement) merupakan salah satu solusi yang tepat guna menjawab isu green building dalam menghasilkan material yang lebih ramah lingkungan dengan ketahanan mekanis yang jauh lebih baik pula. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui karakteristik lentur pada balok sandwich panel kayu sengon (SPS) dengan pembanding balok kayu meranti (kayu kelas II). Material yang digunakan sebagai skin pada balok SPS adalah komposit polyester serat sisal yang dibudidayakan di Pulau Sumbawa, Nusa Tenggara Barat. Standar pengujian berdasarkan ASTM C393 (panjang 550 mm, lebar 50 mm, tebal 25 mm), dengan jumlah masing-masing 5 benda uji. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan balok SPS memiliki tegangan lentur rata-rata sebesar 167,660 MPa, sedangkan pada balok kayu meranti menghasilkan tegangan lentur rata-rata sebesar 94,292 MPa. Besarnya tegangan lentur yang dihasilkan balok SPS lebih tinggi 43,380% dibandingkan balok kayu meranti (kayu kelas II). Nilai lendutan rata-rata pada balok SPS sebesar 20,340 mm, lebih besar dibandingkan nilai lendtan rata-rata kayu sengon sebesar 15,420 mm. Hal tersbut menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan skin komposit polyester sisal Sumbawa pada sandwich panel kayu sengon mampu menghasilkan karakteristik mekanik yang lebih baik dibandingkan dengan kayu Meranti.
