Study on the awareness of the installation of Lightning Protection System (LPS) by using Structural Bonding Method (SBM) in the building among civil engineering consultants

Abstract

Structural Bonding Method (SBM) is one type of Lightning Protection System (LPS), design to protect human, structures, contents inside structures, electrical equipment, transmission lines and other from the lightning flash. Besides, SBM is a standard LPS that comply with technical standards or codes of practice or called as conventional Lightning Protection System. In order to know the level of the Awareness of the Installation LPS by using SBM in the building among Civil Engineering Consultants, conducting survey need to be done. This report presents the Research Design and Research Strategy in conducting the survey. Research design is a sequence of research study which shows that what researcher will do from the beginning until to the final analysis of data. For the Research Strategy in this study, it is explaining about the way before conducting the survey which are determine the population of sample (Consultant Company at Northern Region Area), samples of respondents (Civil Engineer at Consultant Office with the number of sample is 40), data collecting process (primary and secondary data), structure of the questionnaire form and the way in analysis the data (using SPSS version 22). After the analysis the data, the result of the level of Awareness in the Installation of LPS by using SBM are moderate.
