Abstract

Buildings constructed near fault lines are dangerous because they tend to experience higher ground accelerations and displacements. One of the buildings that are located within five meters from the fault is the Technical-Vocational building in Pedro E. Diaz High School in Muntinlupa City, Philippines. This study used modal response spectrum analysis to determine the drift, or lateral deflection of the building under a specific ground motion obtained from the recently conducted Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis of Laguna, Philippines. The structures was modeled using Extended Three-Dimensional Analysis of Buildings Systems (ETABS). After performing equivalent lateral force and modal response spectrum analyses, it was found that the building exhibits a maximum drifts of 1.25% equal to displacement of 154.82 mm. This value is within the allowable drift limit of 2.5% of the building height set by the National Structural Code of the Philippines (NSCP) 2010. Thus, the building is safe against excessive deformation. However, some beams failed against combined shear and torsion, while some columns failed against combined axial and flexure.
