Assessment of the Structure of the Bappeda Building in Kutai Kartanegara Regency

Since 2019, The Bappeda Building has suffered severe damage, including some cracked walls and cracked tile floors. The damage to this building is thought to be triggered by several factors, such as unstable soil structure and vehicle access that passes beside the Bappeda Building, causing vibrations to the building. The evaluation of the workshop building begins with collecting data in the form of as built drawings, results of inspections for damage to buildings, results of inspections of non-destructive tests and results of soil tests. Furthermore, structural analysis was carried out using the SAP 2000 program to determine the strength of the building and plan the required reinforcement. The results of the analysis show that the structure in the north of the Bappeda Kukar building is unable to withstand the load and the foundation settlement happened, so it is necessary to strengthen the foundation. Structural reinforcement in the form of the addition of 2 drill piles with a diameter of 60 cm and a depth of 32 m, and on top of it is installed using WF 800 mm x 300 mm x 14 mm x 26 mm beams wrapped in concrete which serves as the pedestal of the existing foundation.
