Webinar - Earthquake Performance of School Buildings in Indonesia
26 May 2023
In this webinar organized by the UNESCO Chair in DRR&RE at UCL, the presenters will discuss the performance, damage, lessons learnt and resilience of school buildings in different seismic events/regions of Indonesia.
According to the Indonesian national standards, school buildings are considered to have high priority factors. Therefore, it requires an adequate design. Typical school buildings in Indonesia were constructed using confined masonry structures for single-story buildings and reinforced concrete structures for multi-story buildings. Confined masonry buildings are widely distributed throughout the country and are considered to have a lower risk of earthquake damage. However, in some earthquake events in Indonesia, e.g. the Pidie Jaya earthquake in 2016, Lombok earthquakes in 2018, and the Cianjur earthquake in 2022, some of this type of buildings experienced an extensive damage. The performance of school buildings in these earthquake events will be discussed in this short webinar to understand the typical damages and the level of resilience of school buildings in Indonesia.
