Construction Method and Performance of Bugis Traditional House in Wind Disasters

Abstract

Bugis ethnic in South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia is known as an old tribe who domiciled in the south peninsula of Sulawesi island. They have characteristics of high legacy, culture by the script called lontaraq and life in a traditional stilt house called bola ogi. This house was built in certain methods and become a research problem. The goal of this study is to reveal the construction method and the performance of the Bugis traditional house in facing of wind disaster. The research methods are field observation and in-depth interview. Field observation to reveal the old construction methods of 100 years traditional the Bugis house and its performance in collapse by wind disasters. In-depth interview to strengthen information. The research revealed that Bugis house made of wood and its built-in certain construction methods called mappasituppu. Structure system consists of the main and secondary structure which is joined together rigidly an appropriate hierarchy. The part of the structural member is setting follows natural way. The wind attack saw that building structure collapse step by step depend on its function in the structure as a whole. The lesson from Bugis in construction method is the part of the structure system best to design in the proper strength hierarchy. The strength, structure hierarchy is the maximum strength part of structure equal to the minimum strength of the structure which supports them.

WOOD STRUCTURE SYSTEM in TRADITIONAL BANJAR HOUSES in INDONESIA

“…The roles and functions of Tihang and Tongkat in traditional Banjarese houses are similar to Jihi and Tungket in the Betang Toyoi Dayak house, where the main pillar (Jihi) is large and continues to the roof and the supporting pillar (Tungket) is smaller which only supports under the floor (Restyanto, 2012). It is also similar to Bugis Traditional House (Madeali, 2018). Not only in nusantara, one of the traditional Turkish houses also uses continuous poles like this (Zelen, 2015).…”

Structural Durability Assessment of Stilt Houses to Flash Flooding: Case Study of Flash Flood-Affected Sites in Thailand

“…They definitely confirmed that the bottom of the column and the joint between the column and beam are the points that should be strengthened to better resist lateral loads. Madeali et al (2018) reported that in the primary structure of Bugis traditional houses in Indonesia formed using a column and beam system, the joint between the column and the beam (both roof and floor beams) should be fixed or have a rigid joint such as a mortise and tenon. With this type of joint, Bugis houses can withstand wind loads at higher levels.…”
