| Summary: | Rural houses are susceptible to roof blown off and severe
damage during a windstorm event due to the lack of engineering
considerations. The aim of this paper is to conduct a post windstorm
evaluation on the damaged rural houses located in the northern region of
Peninsula Malaysia. Several activities were involved during the post
windstorm survey including site visualization, site measurement and
interview. Critical aspects including types of damages, types of houses,
gap height, overhang length, roof geometry, roof pitch, roof cladding and
terrain category were analysed using a simple bar chart. It is anticipated
that the presence of kitchen house influences the overall stability of the
rural houses due to the formation of gap height. |
