Abstract

The world population has risen significantly in the last several decades, and this phenomenon creates a challenge to provide affordable housing for the family. Indonesia, the fourth largest populated country in the world, recently has a well-known national program regarding this issue, namely one million housing for its people. The house is commonly built with a simple structure, mainly constructed with masonry bricks, and it comes with very typical area size options. However, this country has various kinds of natural disasters, including earthquakes. Thus, the buildings must be resilient under those hazards. This paper aims to study typical unreinforced masonry houses in Indonesia, especially under earthquake load. The analysis was performed using the finite element method by implementing the Von-Mises failure criterion. Four area types of building: 21, 36, 45, and 50 square meters were modelled three-dimensionally. The load was given horizontally and statically based on the current national valid provision. Stress distributions and displacement were inspected. Moreover, the material strength was based on previous research and created homogeneously. The result revealed that the displacement was still below the initiated limit. However, several specimens have exceeded maximum set stress, especially near the perpendicular plane area.
