JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – Communities and governments need to learn a lot from the 6.5 magnitude earthquake that hit Pidie Jaya district, Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam. A valuable lesson was not only in terms of disaster management, but also an effort to prevent more casualties had increased at a later date.
The effort is one consideration of the use of earthquake-resistant building construction. It departs from the realization that Indonesia is a country prone to earthquakes that it is absolutely required infrastructure is the infrastructure of earthquake resistance.
“The use of earthquake-resistant construction is already mandatory and must meet the rules of engineering, as well as to consider the existence of government regulations,” said the expert earthquake ITB, Prof Masyhur Irsyam, in a statement on Monday (12/12/2016).
about the condition of Indonesia is prone to earthquakes, continued Masyhur, can be known from the latest earthquake map made Tim Earthquake Hazard map Updates earth Indonesia 2016 Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR). According Masyhur, who is also head of the team, it is still a lot of seismic source is unknown.
He adds, earthquakes are inevitable and predictable, including the time , location, and magnitude. Therefore, mitigation is something that must be done, including making infrastructure earthquake resistance. for example, building a wooden house or use construction technology cobwebs known as foundation construction hospitable earthquake.
” it (construction cobwebs) one of them. During the foundation prepared receiving seismic force, certainly okay, “he said.
Kris Suyanto, Director of PT Katama Suryabumi, which is the holder of patent construction cobwebs, said that the technology foundation of friendly quake construction cobwebs (for buildings) and cobwebs (for roads and runways) can be an alternative solution to the earthquake and soil extremes, such as fireworks shrinkage, software, or peat.
the construction never got the recognition MURI and some Upakarti awards as well as a proven foundation system has saved the buildings that it supports, in an earthquake measuring 9.3 magnitude by a ratio of nearly 100 percent success.
the strength of the construction, said Kris, can be seen when the great earthquake occurred in Aceh in 2004, in Padang in 2007 and 2009, as well as another earthquake. in the center of the earthquake on the island of Simeulue, for example, when all the buildings were destroyed, there is approximately 15 story buildings still standing because it was built with the construction of cobwebs.
“Regents issued a policy that buildings are safe from the risk of earthquakes. Because that he learned of the success of the technology foundation Friendly earthquake construction cobwebs in various places, “said Kris.
In Banda Aceh is also pretty much the use of such construction. Call it the building SMK 3, District Attorney, PT TASPEN, Department of Transportation, and others. these buildings stood firm when the earthquake, but buildings around the ground. While in Padang, besides building Padang State University (UNP), Minang Plaza, Office of parliament. and in Papua, for example, Hadi Plaza building, Swiss Bell Hotel, BPD Papua.
