Abstract
This research aimed to study simulation analysis of the reinforced earthquake resistance of RC building structure model with glass fiber reinforced polymer using braced frame system. The size of reinforced concrete rigid frame used in the study was a 4000 mm in width and 3000 mm in height to simulate the strengthened behavior with glass fiber reinforced polymer by using braced frame system in bracing consisted of 4 types: X-braced frame, V-braced frame, Inverted V-braced frame, and Diagonal braced frame. The performance of the reinforced concrete rigid frame was evaluated using non-linear statics. The study results were found that: The X-braced bracing model provided the highest base strength compared to V-braced, Inverted V-braced and Diagonal braced model. The increased cross-sectional area ratio of the materials in bracing reinforced concrete rigid frame did not affect the increased strength of reinforced concrete rigid frame. Therefore, reinforced concrete materials in cross-section using reinforced materials with the lowest cross-section were sufficient to resist earthquake force. When comparing to deformed bar, the use of glass fiber reinforced polymer in cross-section can be used to replace deformed bar effectively.
