“…Timber frame masonry buildings remain in high demand in certain developing countries due to both economic considerations and seismic resilience, surpassing the performance of local reinforced concrete buildings (Tu et al, 2021;Cui et al, 2020) These buildings show variations in timber frames and infill materials across different countries, known as Chuandou in China, The Hımis in Turkey, The Pombalino in Portugal, and The Berykiou building in Lefkas City. In Merauke, Indonesia, it is referred to as Rumah Kancingan.…”

Rumah kancingan is a distinctive house used by residents of Merauke, Papua. The house is unique because it combines walls made of both orthotropic and isotropic materials, which is a combination of brick walls and wooden frames, built from isotropic and orthotropic materials, respectively. As a result, this study aimed to provide a better understanding of Rumah kancingan in Merauke and explore new information about its architectural design. A typology method was used through an interpretive method to analyze 100 samples. The objective was to describe and categorize them based on architectural aspects, encircling house type (floor plan), and visual features such as roof shape, entrance, ornaments, and building materials. Despite wood being the main structural and framing material, the results showed that the varied size of the houses did not necessarily limit the spaciousness of the rooms, considering the dimensional constraints of wood. The roof shape was an indicator of the construction era and the terrace served as additional space for adding aesthetic value to the house. Additionally, the presence of a terrace allowed for more diverse roof designs, contributing to a modern appearance. Ornaments were not commonly found in the place. It should be acknowledged that older houses tended to emphasize their kancingan construction, while newer ones concealed the structure for a more modern and sturdy look. Finally, the type of wood and its dimensions used in construction could help identify the era of Rumah kancingan development.

Seismic Retrofit Technique Using Plywood and Common Nails for Connections of Low-Rise Timber Frame Construction

et al. 2022

Since the Japanese Building Standards Act was revised in 2000, the installation of steel timber connectors (STCs) to reinforce timber frame (TF) connections has been mandated for new-build TF houses in Japan. However, for the TF houses built before then, more than 40% do not have sufficient STCs and are considered earthquake-prone. This study proposed a simple and easy seismic retrofit technique for such earthquake-prone existing houses. The proposed technique can reinforce TF connections using only plywood and common nails and achieve equivalent performance to the benchmark STCs used in Japanese TF houses, such as the “CP-T type” or the combination of “VP type” and “BP type” STCs. Experiments were performed to compare the proposed technique with the STCs using pullout and full-scale in-plane cyclic tests. The experimental results showed that the proposed technique had a higher seismic performance than the STCs, which was particularly excellent in displacement ductility to prevent a collapse of the TF house without damaging the timbers. The proposed technique will be accepted by many carpenters when retrofitting earthquake-prone existing houses because simple and easy.
