ABSTRACT
Eccentrically Braced Frame (EBF) is one of several types of braces that can be used in steel building. EBF has a good stiffness and ductility to withstand earthquake load. In EBF itself there are 3 types of links, namely: Long Link, Intermediate Link, and Short Link. Meanwhile, MRF of Moment resisting Frame is a structural system where the beams and columns are connected rigidly. MRF has a good ductility in accepting load even it has no lateral braces installed. In this research the Dafam Lotus Jember hotel consisting of 10 floors with total height of 33,6 m is modeled as a MRF system structure and steel structure equipped with EBF short link. The objective of this research is to compare the effectiveness of EBF and MRF in terms of displacement, axial force, shear force, and moment occurring in buildings. The modeling results show that EBF with short link has smaller displacement value compared to MRF. The difference between the two is 86,99%. In terms of axial force, shear force, and moment, EBF has smaller values than MRF. The differences are 79,76%, 53,91%, and 10,48% respectively. These results indicate that EBF has better capacity compared to MRF.
