Diagnosis and Repair of the Cracking House Next to the River

Abstract

Natural disasters and human error factors can cause damage to buildings. Human error causes various issues, including inadequate craftsmanship in the mixing of building materials and preliminary structural design and specification. Inadequate knowledge of the building’s structure and the type of soil on which it stands is also one of the fault designs in construction. This study utilises a case study methodology divided into three sections: soil analysis, building analysis, and techniques for avoiding and repairing the research object. A literature review is essential to ascertain the type of soil and the proper footing to utilise when examining the soil. In the building analysis, it is necessary to determine the damage of the building and its repair. These steps demanded were to prevent further damage by adding structures to reinforce existing structures in load distribution. After determining that the structure is safe from further damage, the final step is to repair the walls, floor, and ceiling. These improvements are part of an effort to ensure the building’s long term sustainability. The final phase in home restoration is to decorate the interior to make the residents feel comfortable.

Excavated Earth Area Maximization as a Basement and Outdoor Living Space on a Sloped Terrain Housing

“…The cut-and-fill technique on sloped terrain has also been carried out by Babapour et al [11] and Abdelbagi Hamad et al [4]. Retrofitting of home structures on sloped terrain has also been carried out by Pramono et al [12]. The technique that maximizes excavated earth areas on sloped terrain on existing buildings has never been done, so this material is a novelty in this research.…”
