Abstract
One of the issues from land subsidence consequences is tilting on building. At the places where differential subsidence is existed we might literally see the building tilted. Jakarta is a mega city in Indonesia where significant land subsidence (e.g. 1-26 centimeter per year) is happening today. Issue of tilting on buildings due to land subsidence in Jakarta has been raisin. There is one high-rise building namely Menara Saidah which is judging to be tilting. As consequences the building has been abandoned. The building in the office of House of Representative is also being rumored to be tilting. Judging and rumored are not scientific, we need real measurements. There are more than two hundreds of high-rise buildings established in Jakarta city. We use the Terrestrial Laser Scanner survey to investigate the issue of high-rise building. This technology has capability to create 3D object with milimeter accuracy. Tilting on the building can be seen simply by their verticality. We have chosen several high-rise buildings to accurately measure, especially where large subsidence is there. This paper is a highlight on the investigation. As the conclusion we found the verticality of investigated buildings are still within the tolerance.
Highlights
After around twenty years since its development, a highrise building called Menara Saidah in southern part of Jakarta city has been suddenly abandoned
In the early 2000 the building of the House of Representative of Indonesia located in west Jakarta has been suggested to be demolished and replace by the new one because the rumor of tilting
The averages of RMS for cloud registration were noted in only order of few centimeters. These results indicated good modeling produce by the Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) surveys and support the good analysis of tilting
Summary
After around twenty years since its development, a highrise building called Menara Saidah in southern part of Jakarta city has been suddenly abandoned. A rumor of tilting on the building was rapidly spread out. Parking yard was experiencing some cracks and unleveled. Nobody would dare to enter the building anymore and so the owner experiencing financial loss from building rental, event, etc. In the early 2000 the building of the House of Representative of Indonesia located in west Jakarta has been suggested to be demolished and replace by the new one because the rumor of tilting. The land subsidence is believed to be the cause of tilting on the building. In the northern part of Jakarta, an Old Dutch building is tilted quite sharply (figure 1) where area surrounding suffering land subsidence with significant rate
