Abstract

Structural stability in construction, especially in buildings exposed to lateral forces due to earthquakes, is very important to consider. This research aims to explore the effectiveness of using Independent Wire Fibre Core (IWFC) steel wire rope braces in strengthening two-dimensional (2D) concrete portals. The method used is a series of laboratory tests to measure the performance of concrete portals equipped with IWFC braces. Concrete portals with dimensions of 1.00 m in the width direction and 1.50 m in the height direction were tested with lateral loading to simulate the effects of earthquakes. The test results showed that the use of IWFC braces increased the load resistance capacity of the portal by 16.13%, from 14.00 kN to 26.13 kN, and reduced the deviation by 30.43%, from 2.30 mm to 1.68 mm. In addition, the analysis showed an increase in the response modification factor (R) from 4.69 to 5.03, while the Cd value of the non-braced portal was 3.29 using braces was 3.02 and the Ω0 value of the non-braced portal was 3.50 and after using braces was 2.84. These findings open up opportunities for the application of better structural strengthening techniques in order to improve the safety and stability of buildings in earthquake-prone areas.

Abstract

This research was conducted to review the feasibility of beach sand from the Batu Bolong village of West Lombok Region as an alternative fine aggregate in concrete manufacturing. The background of this research is based on the decreasing supply of sand from rivers and mountains. The main objective of this research was to evaluate the compressive strength of concrete using beach sand, both with and without a washing process, and assess whether this material could be applied in structural construction. In addition to technical aspects, the local community's habit of utilizing beach sand is also part of the consideration in this study. The result oh the tests showed that the compressive strength of normal concrete without admixtures at 3, 7, and 28 days of age were 16.42 MPa, 19.21 MPa, and 23.39 MPa, respectively. The addition of the "BETON MIX" admixture increased the strength to 20.78 MPa, 23.38 MPa, and 26.44 MPa. Meanwhile, concrete using washed beach sand showed compressive strengths of 22.67 MPa, 23.61 MPa, and 25.16 MPa. The concrete with unwashed beach sand produced strengths of 21.72 MPa, 22.40 MPa, and 23.08 MPa. The results of this study indicate that sand from Batu Bolong beach has the potential to be a substitute for fine aggregate in concrete. However, its use must still consider ecological impacts so as not to disturb the balance of the coastal environment.

Abstract

Spun pile foundations were used in the construction of the Mayor's Office Building in Jempong Village, Mataram City, West Nusa Tenggara Province, as elements that transfer structural loads to more stable soil. This study aims to analyze the bearing capacity of spun pile foundations manually to obtain the ultimate bearing capacity and allowable bearing capacity values by comparing the Luciano Decourt and Tomlinson methods based on SPT data. Through this analysis, it is hoped that the most efficient and appropriate method for application in the soil conditions in the area can be determined. Based on the calculation results, the Luciano Decourt method produced a bearing capacity and allowable bearing capacity of 137,344 tons and 54,938 tons, respectively, while the Tomlinson method produced a bearing capacity and allowable bearing capacity of 89,489 tons and 35,795 tons, respectively. It can be concluded that the most efficient and appropriate method to use in pile foundation planning for the soil conditions in the area is the Tomlinson method because it produces a more conservative bearing capacity. The use of this conservative bearing capacity can help avoid the risk of foundation failure.
