Architectural Structural Survey of Groups of Traditional Timber Houses in South Nias, Indonesia
In Indonesia, a number of race people have their original architectural culture of traditional timber houses. Most of them have survived against large earthquakes in such seismic areas. As they have been maintained by the traditional ways so far, it is worth preserving them from a historical point of view. The purpose of the present research is to evaluate the structural characteristics specific to the traditional wooden houses in South Nias, located to the west of Sumatra. Furthermore, structural restoration using the traditional techniques was discussed to propose appropriate methods for the structural conservation. The traditional timber houses in South Nias that have survived against large earthquakes are characterized by an elevated-floorstructure with large diameter columns and braces under the floor. In the present international collaborative study, we performed micro-tremor measurements to evaluate their fundamental dynamic characteristics. As well as, we conducted architectural structural survey to study the structural characteristics and to detect the material’s deterioration. Furthermore, we conducted monitoring of temperature and humidity in the roof structures to know effect of the climate conditions on the wooden materials. Material mechanical tests of timbers which used for structure were also conducted to examine the strength.
