ABSTRACT
Keywords: Earthquake
Resistant House, Cost
Budget Plan, Ferrosement
Technology.
In the context of building earthquake-resistant houses,
ferrosement technology can be an effective solution to face
unique environmental challenges. The sustainability,
strength, and earthquake resistance provided by ferrosement
makes it an attractive option to improve the quality and
safety of buildings in areas prone to earthquakes. This study
will use a comparative method to analyse the cost needs of
building earthquake-resistant houses using Ferromen
technology. The total cost of materials for ferrosemen
houses with type 7 x 6 amounted to 69,783,571,131.
Ferrrosemen technology in home construction offers
significant cost efficiency potential compared to traditional
construction methods. This is mainly because the raw
materials used in fermenting, such as local soil and fibre, are
generally more affordable and widely available. 2. Focus on
Strength Ferrocement technology focuses strength on the
house's foundation, which uses an inverted T foundation
with woven concrete iron, much stronger than the river stone
foundation. Although further research and local adaptation
are still needed, ferrrosement technology is promising as a
more economical alternative in house construction. This can
be a sustainable solution to improve access to affordable
housing for people in various regions, especially developing
countries. However, it is important to consider factors such
as soil conditions, climate, and availability of local resources
in effectively implementing this technology.
Introduction
Areas in earthquake-prone zones often face a high risk of disasters, especially
regarding the strength and frequency of earthquakes (NADIA, 2023). Earthquakes can
cause serious damage to infrastructure, including people's homes, and can result in
significant human and economic losses. Therefore, constructing earthquake-resistant
houses is urgently needed in these regions (Ferdinand & Pamadi, 2023).
According to the Indonesian Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency
(BMKG), most parts of Indonesia are in earthquake zones with varying levels of
vulnerability. For example, the islands of Java and Sumatra are located on the Pacific
Moch Afrizal Subakti, Yudi Setio Prabowo
Jurnal Indonesia Sosial Teknologi, Vol. 5, No. 4, April 2024 1836
Ring of Fire, one of the most seismically active regions in the world. Major earthquakes
here can cause extensive damage to buildings, including people's homes (Jatmiko, 2024).
In this context, constructing earthquake-resistant houses is a key strategy to reduce
the risk of damage and protect people's lives and property. By building houses specifically
designed to cope with earthquake vibrations, we can reduce the adverse effects that can
arise during and after an earthquake (Lauranti, Djamhari, Mawesti, Nurrahamah, &
Farhan, 2017).
Ferrosement technology has emerged as an innovative alternative in constructing
earthquake-resistant homes to increase the strength and resistance of buildings to
earthquakes (Efendi, Taqiuddin, & Evendi, 2022). Ferrosement, also known as "cement
mortar composites reinforced with metal," is a construction method that utilises regularly
placed cement-metal alloys to increase the durability of a structure (Hermawan, Kusum,
& Febrinita, 2022).
The main advantage of ferrosement technology lies in the even and dense
distribution of the metal inside the cement matrix. A thin metal layer, often a mesh or
mesh, is placed inside the cement structure to provide additional strength (Aditia &
Asmariati, 2021). This increases earthquake resistance and improves the structure's
tensile strength, reducing the risk of cracking and damage during earthquake events
(Shomad, Djatmiati, & Suheryadi, 2018).
One of the advantages of ferrosement technology is its ability to improve adhesion
and load distribution throughout the structure. Ferrosement materials offer better
resistance to temperature changes, corrosion, and earthquakes, making them particularly
suitable for areas within earthquake-prone zones (Mentari & Basuki, 2021).
In the context of building earthquake-resistant houses, ferrosement technology can
be an effective solution to face unique environmental challenges. The sustainability,
strength, and earthquake resistance provided by ferrosement makes it an attractive option
to improve the quality and safety of buildings in areas prone to earthquakes.

Research Methods
Research Design
This study will use a comparative method to analyse the cost needs of building
earthquake-resistant houses using Ferromen technology.
Research Location
The research location is in Pandeglang Regency, and the selected house is one of
the beneficiaries of a government program called Self-Help Housing Stimulant
Assistance (BSPS).
Research Variables
a. Controlled Variables
Types of Construction Materials
b. Dependent Variables
House Construction Cost
Data Collection
a. Cost of Construction:
1. Analysis of the cost of construction materials.
2. Comparison of price and availability of ferrosement material.
Data Analysis
a. Analysis Methods:
1. Use of descriptive statistics to analyse cost data
Results and Discussion
The price of materials and work wages
The unit price of materials used is obtained from the Standard Price of Goods and
Services of Pandeglang Regency in 2024.
Unit Price Analysis (Ahs)
The Unit Price Analysis (AHS) was calculated using AHSP in 2016, 2021, and
2024 as the standard units of construction work. Job analysis is obtained by multiplying
the index by the regional unit price (Arham, Sjaf, & Darusman, 2019).
AHS = SNI coefficient x Material Unit Price.
