Relationship of Building Form with Damage Pattern and Damage Level

The level of damage to the building is influenced by the configuration of the building plan with the angle of re-entrant and the pattern of damage. Architects need to know and understand the pattern of building damage and the configuration of hospital plans with an architectural approach. A certain level of damage has an impact on the safety of the lives of patients and health workers. The method used is a quantitative method with 2 steps, namely literature study and correspondence. The technique used is a visual identification technique from photographs in 28 earthquake-related journals with 108 cases. There is a significant relationship between the shape of the re-entrant angled building and the level of damage caused by the earthquake. The configuration of the building plan with re-entrant angles U and L is closely related to the level of heavy structural damage (level 4). The pattern of structural damage in the configuration of the re-entrant corner plan U, L, H occurs in the re-entrant corner and the outside of the building. The hospital as a vital building must use a floor plan configuration without a re-entrant angle.
