Abstract

Traditional houses of Batak Karo, North Sumatra are known as the Traditional House of Siwaluh Jabu. The structure of the buildings uses wood materials, where such buildings has been proved to be more earthquake resistant. These traditional houses use several types of wood, namely Haudolok wood, Ingul wood, Pengki wood, and Simartolu wood. To know the mechanical properties of the wood structures, then a series of tests were done. This paper only is objected to discuss the results of compression and bending tests of the wood. The compression test was conducted to find out the relationship of the density with the elasticity modulus and the equivalent yield stress. Three-point and four-point bending tests were conducted to understand the relationship of the density with the elasticity modulus, the maximum bending stress, and the shear modulus. Teak wood and Jackfruit wood from Java were selected as control specimens. The test results showed that, in the compression test, the density has a very strong correlation with the modulus of elasticity and the equivalent of the melting stress. In both three-point and four-point bending tests, it shows that the density has a very strong correlation with maximum bending stress and strong correlation with shear modulus.
