This image is telling us to learn how the wood beams works in the traditional house building construction. Beam in java language we call “Blandar”. This structure has a function to make rigid structure system for all construction, combine with the foundation, sloof, coloum, beam and roof structure. The traditional house from java likes Limasan house and Joglo house is modified by wood structure. Wood that is usually used likes teak wood, Sonokeling, acacia wood, Jackfruit wood, Coconut wood and other Java wood. This wood type is differentiating the economics level peoples in Java. Peoples with have good economics level, usually will apply teak wood as component of the house, while the peoples with crummy economics will apply coconut wood as the house construction.

Them meeting between extensions column, the beams and roof structure is made with the systems that is each other locks, so that burden structure flattens and in focusing on prop columns. The key for strength construction of wood is at the wood fibers. Increasingly fiber solid wood from wood type applied, so the construction gains strength. This Construction character is more elastically than concrete structure. On the happening of shocking like earthquake, this structure still can stands up because of flexed the following gravitation of earth. This traditional structure ought to still be used for areas which earthquake disaster gristle, but because of this modern style, so this building structure starts to be leaved.
