Abstract

The structural integrity of the Merdeka Market building in Bogor City is a matter of particular concern for the Indonesian government, given its age of approximately 25 years and the resulting structural deterioration. The purpose of this study is to assess the overall reliability of the building, its seismic vulnerability, and structural safety, in order to provide effective recommendations for improving the building's performance, in terms of its architectural quality, stability, utility systems and accessibility. Data are collected through physical observations and non-destructive test, such as the Hammer test and Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) test. The compressive strength of concrete is calculated and compared to the technical requirements. The seismic resistance is determined through simulation, using a 3D model of the building. The Rapid Visual Screening (RVS) test provides the vulnerability score of the structure. The results of the various tests determine the overall reliability of the Merdeka Market building.
