Earthquake Resistant Buildings




The usual technology developed by various parties as a solution toquickly build a house, usually made ​​of simple construction with akind of lightweight construction materials and structural roof and wallcoverings are lightweight as well. Support structure quickly build a simple house can be made of iron frame, wood, or bamboo. In principle, the design can maintain structural rigidity as well as having the flexibility to move with the earthquake, as well asmaintaining the roof and wall coverings in place with little damage.Below are some practical guidelines leaflet earthquake-resistantconstruction of wooden houses made ​​by the Department of Public Works.




Conventional building technologies brick building with reinforced concrete structures
The concept of earthquake-resistant housing is a building that can withstand the vibration caused by the collapse of the earthquake,and has the flexibility to dampen vibration. Principle, there are basically two: the rigidity of structure and flexibility of damping.
Rigidity principle structure makes the house more solid structure to shocks. Proved, that such a rigid structure made 
​​of reinforced concrete when properly can reduce fine tremor. This means takingseriously the structures made during the construction to be strongerand more rigid. Stiffness of the structure to avoid the possibility of building collapse during an earthquake occurs. The columns andbeams have to be strong binders and supported by a goodfoundation as well.
Flexibility Principle: The possibility of building structures to move on a small scale, for example by using a roll on the foundationprinciples of relationship-support burden. The definition ofrelationship is the kind of relationship pedestal roll load that can beengaged in small scale to dampen vibration. This is one example.
The principle of the use of lightweight materials and 'springy': theuse of lightweight construction materials that are not moredangerous when it collapsed, and the more light that is notexcessively burdensome to the existing structure. For examplewooden structure that can accept the transfer of timber in the relationship between scale earthquake.
The principle of the separate masses: that is split in several parts of building structures that are smaller, so the structure is not too big,too long because when hit by the earthquake have greater vibration damping.

Aceh Tsunami Museum

To commemorate the 2005 tsunami in Aceh, he built a Tsunami Museum at the scene. Historical museum was inaugurated by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in late February 2009. As told by its designer, M Ridwan Kamil, the museum should be a symbol of the anti tsunami structure, namely a combination of building a raised platform (elevated building) on ​​top of a hill. read also : steel building
