CONCLUSION

1. From the evidences on site, it is clear that many houses and public building didt not meet

quake-proof construction regulations. The Sept. 30 quake would not have killed so many

had houses and public buildings met quake-proof construction regulations.

2. Under the regulation, buildings in Padang should be built to withstand peak ground

acceleration (PGA) of 0.28 gal to 0.36 gal. The Sept. 30 quake had a PGA of 0.113 gal,

far less than the estimated PGA for this area. Buildings constructed properly would have

withstood the quake.

3. Regional administrations, especially those located in areas prone to earthquakes, have to

apply strict supervision to building sites. Tall structure buildings should comply with the

National Standards Agency / SNI regulation on quake-proof construction. Residents too

must use quake-proof construction methods when building their houses.

4. Cooperation with experts in university should be developed to check the design in order

to meet the building codes.

Thank You
