Earthquake Resistant Buildings in Sukabumi So Pilot

SUKABUMI – storey building earthquake resistant, which has four floors in Kampung Tenjoresmi, Sukabumi, West Java piloted by various groups from within and outside the country.

“Building in the village of Pasir Badak, District Palabuhanratu has 10 rooms which was financed by the United Nations in 1993 and in 1994 opened or operated,” said the manager of the building earthquake resistant Palabuhanratu, Suhendi in Sukabumi, Tuesday.

According to him, this building is the first earthquake-resistant buildings in Indonesia. It lies in the southern ocean around attraction Palabuhanratu which is prone to earthquakes, often used as materials research and demonstration by the government or scientists both from within and outside the country.

The house was built specifically to withstand earthquakes as each pillar is coated by a rubber pad that serves to dampen vibration and oscillation caused earthquakes.

He explained that the rubber pads provide horizontal natural frequency of 0.5 Hertz (Hz) which is based on the past or the weight of the building amounted to 760 tons.

Meanwhile, karen average thickness of 97.5 mm each sealed by a steel plate into 15 layers thus providing high vertical forces with frequency 13 Hz.

For this building resilience between 20 to 30 years, but this building regularly get improved especially on rubber pads that serve as a buffer tremor. If the rubber is starting to weaken or damaged, it lives changed.

“Since the beginning, especially the earthquake and tsunami in Aceh in 2004 many experts come here to study the construction of buildings and many are developing both at home and abroad. Over time, this building has always been a pilot and indeed should be emulated by developers, “he added.

Suhendi say this building is also frequently used by various elements to be a place of activities or lodging. The layout of the buildings in the zone prone to earthquakes make this building the most secure in the event of such disasters.

In fact, once during the earthquake whose strength is large enough, the building was not damaged at all, and just shake it. He said he hopes this building has always been an example to be applied by developers especially Indonesia is prone to earthquakes.
