Structural Analysis of a Five-Storey Reinforced Concrete Hospital Building: A Case Study of RSI NU Cakra Medika

Abstract

The construction of hospital buildings requires a high level of structural safety, reliability, and compliance with current design standards. This study presents a reanalysis of the structural design of the RSI NU Cakra Medika building, which was originally designed based on earlier regulations, to evaluate its conformity with the latest Indonesian concrete design standard, SNI 2847:2019. The reanalysis was conducted by collecting existing design documents, including structural drawings, calculation reports, and material specifications. A three-dimensional finite element model was developed using structural analysis software to evaluate the building’s response to gravity and seismic loads in accordance with the updated code requirements. The results indicate that several structural elements, particularly beams and columns, require dimensional adjustments or higher-strength materials to satisfy strength and serviceability criteria under the current standard. Furthermore, improvements in the seismic force–resisting system configuration are necessary to enhance the building’s lateral load resistance. The findings demonstrate the importance of reassessing existing structural designs using updated standards to ensure the safety and performance of hospital buildings and provide a useful reference for similar reanalysis projects.
