KAJIAN PEMILIHAN BAHAN LOKAL TERHADAP DURABILITAS UNTUK RUMAH DI PINGGIR SUNGAI

Abstract

The handling is done by using the concept of settlement that offers live in harmony with water , as has traditionally been done in a sensible , which includes the safety and comfort of staying in the water, as well as a form of treatment which provides flexibility in the face of rising water levels. This concept also explores the reuse of local building materials, especially bamboo as a primary building material for the construction of houses on the far bank of the river is dominated by the use of timber purchases . The purpose and benefits of the research to get the concept of local materials selection for the house by the river. The method used is to undergo a research laboratory for testing and concrete testing bamboo as reinforcement bamboo. The results from this test that the physical properties of bamboo smear examined included air-dry moisture content, specific gravity, density, width shrinkage and thickness shrinkage. The average value of the water content of air dried bamboo smear ranged from 7% to 10.33%. For specific gravity mean values ranged from 0.62 to 0.63. Densisty values ranged from 0.86 to 0.94 while the shrinkage in width and thickness between 8.32% to 17.8% and 3.18 to 4.68% .
