Building them is a huge challenge A deadly earthquake that reduced buildings to rubble in
West Java, Indonesia has once again exposed the dangers of living in poorly built homes in
one of the most seismically active zones on the planet
b. Who produce it?
for the whole people, especially for people affected by the earthquake. shortage of earthquake
resistant buildings in Indonesia
d. How is it being presented?
Exposed the dangers of living in poorly built homes in one of the most seismically
active zones on the planet.
“The houses affected by this earthquake are required to use earthquake-resistant building
standards by the Minister of Public Works and Public Housing,” he said. I chose that sentence,
because to anticipate damage to houses affected by the earthquake, the government requires
people to build houses with earthquake-resistant standards.
To tells the earthquake that occurred in West Java, the dangers of houses with weak buildings, and
the number of victims affected by the earthquake. The President promised to rebuild the houses
damaged by the earthquake
Yes it’s relevant for me, because I now know the dangers of houses that cannot withstand
earthquakes, especially now that it's earthquake season
The government in west java because now for example in Cianjur they face the nearly impossible
task of rebuilding.
About the strategy and how to facing the truth that Indonesia has a bad building structures.
Indonesian government is even still confused about how to evacuate and rebuild buildings that have
collapsed because they were not built to withstand earthquakes so that until now if an earthquake
occurs and causes damage the government still does not have a proper and right solution.
In Indonesia, houses are traditionally built from organic building materials including wood, bamboo
and grasses, due to the country's hot and humid climate. These are considered sustainable homes,
and most of them are durable in the event of an earthquake. However, increasing deforestation and
the high price of wood have led people to choose alternative materials, according to a 2009 study on
post-disaster reconstruction in Indonesia from The Architectural Science Association. Increasingly,
homes are being built of brick and concrete, and while facades may appear modern, underneath, the
construction isn't as well put together, the study says. In addition, the low quality of the concrete
and poor steel reinforcement make the structure even more susceptible to collapse during an
earthquake – while causing maximum injury due to the weight of the material.
For people indonesia, in indonesia the low quality of concrete and poor steel reinforcement make
these structures even more susceptible to collapse during an earthquake – while causing maximum
injuries due to the weight of the material
More and more homes were built of brick and concrete, and while the facade may have appeared
modern, underneath, the construction was poorly held together, the study said. From this sentence,
we know that building materials, especially in Indonesia, still tend to be weak, therefore it is
necessary to improve the quality of these building materials to make them more sturdy and
earthquake resistant.
From this article, we know starting from the number of victims who died as a result of the
earthquake, the houses that collapsed due to not being able to withstand the earthquake, to the
very weak building materials in Indonesia.
Yes because live in Indonesia is the best part of my life but the government need improve their
work so the people can living her the best life without worry about the damage when an earthquake
occurs.
Voices not being expressed is the victims who get the damage of earthquake.
how to improve the quality of building materials so that they are more sturdy when hit by an
earthquake. because of the large number of victims who died due to the collapse of the house
