Analysis of Earthquake Resistant Buildings in Residential Area of East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), Indonesia
Deskripsi:
This study aims to provide valuable references for designing earthquake-resistant housing that supports safer and more sustainable residential development in earthquake-prone areas. By combining literature review, data analysis, and simulation methods, the research integrates traditional architectural characteristics with modern engineering practices. A prototype house was designed using SketchUp based on local cultural elements, reflecting the essence of regional identity, and tested for earthquake resistance through ETABS simulations. The design incorporates key elements such as bore pile foundations and steel columns, ensuring the structural stability while respecting local traditions. These materials were selected based on their proven ability to withstand significant seismic forces, addressing both cultural relevance and engineering standards. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of combining traditional wisdom and modern engineering to enhance structural resilience.
