| dc.description.abstract | The objective of this research was to understand the performances of the buildings and the remaining service lifetime of wood which have been used as components of low cost house, where it was at Alam Sinar Sari Residence Complex in Jl.Delima E213 Cibeureum Darmaga, Bogor. Materials used of this research were the rafters and battens which suffered the most severe degradation to both of these components. All building components were surveyed and assessed these performances. Then, creep testing, physical testing, and mechanical testing of the samples of the house are utilized to estimate the wood life service remain of the house, using the reducing of the estimation model. assessment result of the house performance was two different performances, which were respectively the front and the back of the house due to the time differences as building. The value of robustness from the front which has built on 1996 was 67.6 %, while the back which has built on 2002 the value of robustness was 80.2 %. Wood identification showed the front using Saninten wood (Castanopsis sp.) as battens and Kamper wood (Dryobalanops sp.) as rafters. In other hand, the back of the house using Bentawas wood (Wrightia sp.) as battens and Meranti wood (Shorea sp.) as rafters. Based on the calculation result of the life service remain of wood towards batten and rafter framers of the roof structure, it could be understood that the remaining service lifetime of the front and the back were securely used in 3 years and in 5 years, respectively. | en |
