Description

A reconnaissance team was organized to investigate the damages to RC buildings and housings due to a strong earthquake occurred in mid Java Island, Indonesia, at 5 : 53 local time, May 27, 2006. The main objective was to analyze major factors of the earthquake damages through the field survey on the structural planning, construction condition and site condition of the damaged buildings. The field survey was conducted by focusing (1) RC buildings in Yogyakarta city and (2) school buildings and the surrounding brick masonry housings in Bantul area. The earthquake damage to RC buildings in Yogyakarta city is different by a region and categorized into (1) the site damage, (2) the damage of a roof due to the lack of tie beams and (3) the story collapse due to the worse structural planning and relatively large earthquake input. The damage ratio of the brick masonry housings is severer than that of school buildings in Bantul area. This paper outlines the field survey and results of the examination.
