Abstract

The small hydropower plant with a run-of-river concept are being increasingly adopted in less developed and developed countries. The optimization of the plant capacity is critical in the successful development of the plant. The adoption of the current technology will assist in the optimization of the plant development. The important criteria in the evaluation of the optimization are the energy output and plant factor of the plant. In this study, twelve scenarios by varying the installed capacity in range of 4MW to 7.5MW has been simulated in order to obtain the most optimum installed capacity of the plant. In respect to the installed capacity, by the adopting the same available net head of 246.75 m, the design flow would be in range of 1.872 m3/s to 3.510 m3/s with the probability of the flow exceeds or equal to the design flow in range of 29.2% to 8.9%. In the energy calculation, the amount of 0.063 m3/s has been deducted from the available daily flow for the ecological flow. It shows that the energy output for the plant 4MW and 7.5MW would be in range 23 589 MWhr to 28 636 MWhr, respectively. The plant factor of the plant based on all the scenarios are 67.32% for the 4MW plant and 43.59% for the 7.5MW plant. Based on the hydraulic parameters, it was found that the most suitable type of turbine for the plant would be pelton turbines. Based on the relationship between installed capacity, energy output and plant factor, it concludes that the optimum installed capacity is at 5 MW plant.

Abstract

Concrete is a building material that consists of a mixture of aggregate and paste. Normal concrete has a unit weight of 2200 kg/m3 to 2500 kg/m3. In addition to normal concrete, lightweight concrete is also known which has a unit weight of less than 1900 kg/m3. The research was conducted to produce lightweight concrete by using aggregate from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic waste as a substitute for coarse aggregate. This study used 40 cylindrical samples of 150 mm x 300 mm with variations in the use of PET aggregates of 25%, 50%, and 100% of the volume of coarse aggregate. The results show that the use of PET aggregates produces concrete with a decrease in compressive strength of 26%–39% and a decrease in water absorption of 2%–32% from normal concrete. Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) testing showed that the concrete with PET aggregates had a lower wave propagation velocity compared to normal concrete. Moreover, Schmidt hammer and splitting tensile test showed that concrete with PET aggregates had lower rebound number and split tensile strength compared to normal concrete. PET substitution percentages of 25% and 50% resulted in unit weights of 2218 kg/m3 and 2102 kg/m3, respectively, which rule out the use of lightweight concrete. However, 100% PET substitution has a unit weight of 1855 kg/m3 with a compressive strength of 14.16 MPa, which can be categorized as moderate structural lightweight aggregate concrete.

Abstract

Aggregate gradation is measured by determining the percentage of various particle sizes in an aggregate sample using a standard sieve arrangement. Gradation is usually expressed as a curve showing the percentage of each particle size on a logarithmic scale. This curve can then be used to determine the optimum mix design for a given concrete grade. The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of adjusting the gradation of the coarse aggregate of crushed clinker bricks on the strength of concrete. Clinkers bricks are bricks that have been burned at temperatures that are excessively high. The coarse aggregate grading is adjusted according to aggregate grading limits based on SNI 7656-2012, which are divided into three types of grading limits, namely upper, middle, and lower limits. A total of 60 cylindrical 150mm x 300mm concrete specimens were used for the compressive strength tests. The findings showed that adjusting the lower limit gradation produced optimum compressive strengths of 29.09 MPa, 35.08 MPa, 39.96 MPa, and 38.82 MPa, respectively, for the specified target concrete strengths of 20 MPa, 25 MPa, 30 MPa, and 35 MPa, which were higher than those of the middle and upper limit gradations. The compressive strength and density of the concrete can be significantly improved by modification of the coarse aggregate grading of the clinker bricks

Abstract

The Kedang Pahu river is one of the tributaries of the Mahakam river. The research plan is located in Damai District, West Kutai Regency, East Kalimantan province. Recently, the Damai District and Damai Seberang areas have flooded activities that have caused the surrounding settlements to flood into residential areas and block existing road access. Planning analysis and knowing the annual flood elevation is essential. The analysis uses the method of calculating the mean annual flood (MAF) to search for the average annual flood discharge data and the search for the average annual elevation. Data validation using a simple linear regression method produces a correlation coefficient of 58.67%, or R-value = 0.5867. The analysis results in the value of Q1 or the 1st year period, the mean annual flood rate of the average annual flood discharge is 2576.0695 m³/second and the value associated with the magnifying factor (GF) is the average annual flood discharge rate of Q5=3014,00 m³/ sec, Q10 = 3529.22 m³/sec, Q20 = 4095.95 m/sec, Q50 = 5049.10 m³/sec, Q100 = 5847.68 m³/sec, Q200 = 6852.34 m³/sec, Q500 = 8423.75 m³/sec Q1000 = 9917.87 m³/sec. The analysis results at HEC-RAS 5.07 based on manning analysis showed the elevation values were Q1=18.47m, Q5=18.85m, Q10=18.86m, Q20=19.18m, Q50=19.74m Q100=19.99m. Researchers only show elevations up to Q100 or the 100th year because of limited data and the reviewed data accuracy.

Abstract

Every construction project faces constraints of cost, schedule, and quality that must be managed to achieve the desired objectives. This research aims to control the aspects of time and cost in construction projects by applying the Earned Value Concept and Crash Program methods. The subject of the study is the Preservation of Roads and Bridges project in Bireuen City - BTS, Lhokseumawe/Aceh Utara, Krueng Mane Buket Rata, SP. Krueng Geukeueh - PEL. Krueng Geukeueh (PEL. Lhokseumawe). The data analyzed includes the Budget Plan (RAB), project schedule, and reports on planned and actual work. This data is processed into three main indicators: BCWS, BCWP, and ACWP, which are then analyzed through Schedule Variance (SV), Cost Variance (CV), Schedule Performance Index (SPI), and Cost Performance Index (CPI). The analysis results show that during weeks 22 to 23, the project had a positive Schedule Variance (SV) (0), which then turned negative during weeks 24 to 28, with an average Schedule Performance Index (SPI) of 1.0096, indicating that project execution was ahead of schedule. Meanwhile, the Cost Variance (CV) was positive throughout the project, and the average Cost Performance Index (CPI) was 1.2118, indicating that actual costs did not exceed the budget. The application of the Crash Program method resulted in changes in heavy equipment rental costs and worker wages, from IDR 1,440,469,946.99 over 50 days to IDR 1,853,072,988.06 over 25 days, with a cost increase of IDR 412,603,041.07 and an acceleration ratio of 1.29. This research demonstrates that the Earned Value Concept and Crash Program methods are effective in controlling time and cost in construction projects, thereby helping to achieve better efficiency in project management.

Abstract

Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) is a type of concrete with an extremely dense matrix and high compressive strength. The compressive strength of RPC was examined in this study to evaluate the effects of the combination of silica fume (SF) and rice husk ash (RHA) with up to 50% by weight of cement, which provided the highest compressive strength and low cement content under normal curing and steam curing methods. The results showed that the combination of 5% SF or 10% SF with 25% - 45% RHA reaches compressive strength over 100 MPa at the age of 28 days with a low cement content of about 650 kg/m3 under both curing conditions and maintains the slump flow more than 200 mm. This study demonstrates that SF and RHA can be used up to 50% by weight of cement to produce RPC with a compressive strength of over 100 MPa.
