ABSTRACT

Hospitals are vital buildings that must always be guaranteed the building's resistance to earthquakes. The building must not suffer damage that endangers the safety of the lives of its users. The ceiling is one of the components of a hospital building that is most vulnerable to damage during an earthquake. The patient is not able to escape quickly, if the ceiling material is released and falls on the patient who is below it. This study aims to determine the relationship between the causes of ceiling damage and the level of ceiling damage in hospital buildings. Data were collected through field observations at 3 regional general hospitals and literature studies with relevant topics published in the period December 2017 to January 2021. From the literature review, 39 damage data were obtained in 28 regional general hospital buildings in Indonesia. Data were analyzed using quantitative research methods. From the result, there is a significant relationship between the level of damage to the ceiling and the cause of the damage. Seepage of water is the dominant cause of damage but earthquakes is the cause of fatal damage.
