Abstract
Abstract The fact that Indonesia is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire in which some big earthquakes frequently occur has increased concern on the needs for temporary shelter and building safety. Hence, the use of lightweight pre-cast wall becomes one of the ideal choices to fulfill the need of rapid temporary shelter and to increase building safety. This paper reported the investigation of the properties of pre-cast hollow concrete wall panel with different thickness of partition using self compacting concrete technology. The test of concrete properties consists of compressive strength of mortar, flexural strength of hollow concrete wall, the density of the wall. In addition, the flexural strength is tested on the hollow concrete panel wall with the dimension of 1,000 x 300 x 120 mm. The result shows that the hollow concrete panel wall satisfies the properties requirement for concrete wall. Moreover, the pre-cast hollow concrete panel wall with the partition thickness of 15 mm is the most optimum dimension of the panel wall and becomes one of appropriate technologies to provide rapid shelter for post disaster area.
