Abstract

Bridges are a critical part of transport infrastructure networks for social activities and economics of human life. Dynamic analysis of bridge is very important to perform in order to ensure the ability of the bridge to withstand loads and maintain the sustainability of transport infrastructure. This paper presents a methodological framework for monitoring dynamic behavior of the bridge (e.g., natural frequencies, displacement time history) by using civil engineering micro-tremor technique and numerical modeling. The study was conducted at the Alue Raya Bridge located in Lhokseumawe City, Aceh Province, Indonesia. To capture the dynamic behavior of the bridge under traffic loading, the micro-tremor techniques, e.g., Short Period Seismograph (SPS) sensor was placed underneath the bridge at the mid span of the bridge girder. The obtained vibration data were processed using Geopsy software. A three dimensional (3D) model of the bridge was then developed by using CSI Bridge software. The modal analysis was conducted to obtain the modal natural frequencies of the bridge due to traffic loads. The natural frequency measurements using SPS were compared with the simulation results. Through analyzing the measured results, it was found that the natural frequency of the bridge is around 4,3275 Hz which is very close to those obtained from numerical modeling using CSI bridge software. The measured maximum vertical displacement of the bridge girders is below 5mm under normal traffic condition which is under the allowable serviceability limit state requirements of the bridge. The outcomes of this study could have the potential to enable maintenance and capital works decisions which are an important component of the sustainability of transport infrastructure.

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

Aceh is one of the most earthquake-prone regions in Indonesia. It is, therefore, essential to design seismic resistance structures according to applicable standards. To reduce damage to building structures, the Indonesian government has updated the seismic-resistant design code for building and non-building structures. The seismic resistant design standard has been updated from SNI 03-1726-2012 to SNI 03-1726-2019 due to a significant change in spectrum response data. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the impacts on the seismic base shear and the cross-sectional area of columns, beams, and tie beams of buildings in 23 regencies in Aceh Province based on SNI 03-1726-2012 and SNI 03-1726-2019. A typical five-story office building with medium-type soil is used in the study. For structural analysis, a particular moment-resistant frame was considered. The determination of the design response spectra is carried out by using coordinates and soil types through the website “indo spectra”. The method used is spectrum response analysis. Some different requirements in the two standards include the spectrum response curve, mass participation, and dynamic base shear. The study’s results revealed that the dynamic base shear in Sabang City had grown by 192.05 percent. Aceh Barat Daya Regency was observed to have the smallest increase in dynamic base shear, which was only 8.16 percent. The required cross-sectional area of structural columns, beams, and tie beams in Sabang City increased by 96%, 40%, and 44.44%, respectively; in the meantime, the required cross-sectional area of columns, beams, and tie beams in several regencies in Aceh province remained unchanged.

Abstract

A foaming agent is a concentrated solution of surfactant material that must be dissolved in water before mixing with other concrete material. The foaming agent is used to produce lightweight concrete with a density is £ 1.900 kg/m³. Using foam agents may affect the compressive strength and absorbency of the concrete. Hence, adding clam shells is expected to improve the compressive strength of the foam concrete. In addition, it is also essential to investigate the effects of utilizing foam agents and clam shells on the density of the foam concrete. Nine concrete mixes namely 1 variation of standard concrete, four variations of concrete mixes with foam agent, and four variations of concrete with foam agent and calm shell have been studied to investigate the parameters.The variation of foam agents in the eight concrete mixes were 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% by water weight. The last four variations contained clamshell of 5% by weight of fine aggregate. The foam agent wasfoamingduced by mixing with a ratio of water and foam agent of 40:1. The experimental results show that at the variation of 20% foam agent, the density reduced by 34.55% and 26.89% for foam concrete with and without clam shell compared to normal concrete. I contrast, adding clamshell also lowered down the compressive strength of foam concrete by 79.86% and 74.96% for the variations. Meanwhile, the highest absorption rate of 1.65% or increased about 6.45% from normal concrete occurred at a variation foam agent of 15% mixed with clamshell. It was concluded that the use of clam shell in the foam concrete seems to decrease the strength of the foam concrete. However, in terms of density, the use of clam shells benefits foam concrete by lowering the self-weight of 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

Multi-storey buildings are very susceptible to lateral forces, so reinforcement is needed to stiffen the building by adding a system of stiffeners to the building structure. In steel building structures, the system of stiffeners bracing and confessor shearwall can provide rigidity and strength by limiting the movement of the structure. In addition, the placement of stiffener systems in the right locations can also increase the rigidity of the building structure. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of structural behavior using a stiffener system based on the value of the fundamental period (T), the base shear force (V), the drift between stories (?x). In this research using a steel structure model that functions as an office building with a height of 10 levels, one variation of the model without stiffeners and four models with stiffeners, with two variations of the position of the stiffeners, namely in the middle and on the edge of the structure. The results of this study indicate that the addition of a stiffener system can increase the rigidity of the structure. The most effective structural model is found in the structural model with stiffeners shearwall the stiffener position in the middle which has a fundamental period value in the X and Y directions of 17.67% and 18.32% is better than the other models. For the base shear force values in the X and Y directions are 0.95% and 0.95% smaller than the other models. The deviation values between floor levels in the X and Y directions are 9.67% and 34.17% better than the other models. Meanwhile, the inefficient structural model is found in the structural model with stiffeners bracing on the edge which has a fundamental period value in the X and Y directions of 8.96% and 9.32% which is no better than the other models. For the base shear force values in the X and Y directions are 18.02% and 18.02% greater than the other models. The deviation values between floor levels in the X and Y directions are 1.69% and 13.15%, not better than the other models. So in this study it can be concluded that the stiffener system with a position in the middle is better than the position on the edge.
