Abstract:  The use of the 2017 Indonesia Earthquake Map  has not been massively used by the relevant stakeholders. 
Even the regulations SNI 2833 : 2016 regarded Indonesia Earthquake Map 2012.  Updating maping recently 
must be followed by newly regulations. However, structural designed must accomodating newly Indonesia 
Earthquake based  on SNI 2833 : 2016.  This structural planning made significantly changes of earthquake 
loads. This reseacrh did newly Earthquake Map to Bonak Bridge with new respons analysis using SAP 2000 
as Program analysis. Design to the  structure  including  plate,  beam  and  abutment.  This  research  showed 
changes  of  earthquake  loads  and  resulting  changed  of  dimensions  and  steel  reinforcement  on  structural 
system. 
1  INTRODUCTION 
The  use  of  the  2017  Indonesia  Earthquake  Map 
(Asrurifak, 2017), has not been massively used by the 
relevant stakeholders. Even the regulation on the use 
of Earthquake maps has not been updated, which still 
uses the old Earthquake map (Umum, 2010). It can be 
seen in the latest regulation, SNI 2833: 2016 (2016, 
2016)],  that  is  appeared  in  2016.  As  is  known, 
Indonesia  is  located  in  an  area  of  tectonic  and 
volcanic  earthquakes  which  is  meeting  of  three 
tectonic  plates,  there  are  the  Indo-Australian  Plate, 
the  Eurasian  Plate  and  the  Pacific  Plate  (Mallisa, 
2010).  This  condition  will  affecting  all  of 
infrastructure designs. The development of research 
on  earthquake  conditions  is  inversely  proportional 
with the newly regulations. Therefore the subject of 
this  research  is  given  describes  of  influeting  newly 
Indonesian Eartquake Map to the bridge behaviors. It 
is considerable impacted to the earthquake loads and 
is  possible  changes  dimensions  and  steel 
reinforcement of the structural designs. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2  LITERATURE RIVIEW 
A.  Indonesian Earthquake Maping 
According  to  the  design  of  structural  requirement, 
Indonesian Government through “Badan Standarisasi 
Nasional  (BSN)”  produced  regulations  of  structural 
design.  Started  from  design,  loading,  and  structural 
analysis. One of the regulations is implementation of 
earthquake loads to  structural analysis. Therefore, it 
is  necessary  to  have  a  common  perception  and 
understanding  in  field  of  structural  planning. 
Similarity  of  designers  perceptions  have  seen  in 
Indonesian  Earthquake  Map.  The  newly  Indonesian 
Earthquake Map, as in (Asrurifak, 2017) however it is 
aplicated according to SNI 2833 : 2016, as in (2016, 
2016) has not been accomodated of newly regulations. 
B.  Seismic Analyses 
Modelling  on  bridges  seismic  analysis  was  highly 
produce  in  a  lot  of  bridges  research.  A  three-
dimensionan  model  of  bridges  was  developed  by 
using  SAP  2000  in  many  parrameters  such  as 
changing  the  superstructure  mass,  changing  the 
concrete  compressive  strength,  changing  the  plastic 
hinge length, and damping results descibes of briges 
seismic  behaviors  (Gao,  2018).  A  type  of  irregular-
continuous  bridges  and  prediction  of  displacement 
based seismic design was resulted that pushover curve
