Eartquake Vulnerability Level of Reconstructed Houses, Lesson Learned after Ten Years Java Eartquake 2006

Abstract

Ten years after devastating earthquake May 27 th, 2006, housing reconstruction in the affected area has been done and development is still undergoing. Since then, houses are constructed in various forms and quality. Unrestrained housing development contributes uncertain quality of the buildings in term of building safety. This study examines the level of earthquake vulnerability on the reconstruction houses in the area according to the structural firmness. The method used is by assessing the structural completeness, especially the upper part of building elements, synchronized by the five damages classification for grouping the building affected by the quake. This method is aimed to predict damage level for the future similar earthquake. The outcome of this study shows the level of earthquake vulnerability in the every sub-district. It does also compare the level of building safety differences
