Abstract

Cold bonded lightweight aggregate generated from fly ash (FA LWA) has become an interesting approach to increase the consumption of fly ash and prevent over-mining of natural aggregate. However, using the cold-bonded hardening method could increase the number of open pores in LWA, making the concrete containing this LWA face an increased risk of degradation due to water ingress. Thus, in this research, the effect of using FA LWA in concrete on the mechanical and transport properties in a salt environment is being investigated. Three aggregate replacement ratios of 0, 50, and 100% were applied, while the salt environment was mimicked with NaCl and Na2SO4 solutions. The results show that the optimum replacement rate of FA LWA was 50%. Regarding the transport properties, exposing concrete to a salt environment (NaCl or Na2SO4) proved to slow down the capillary imbibition rate slightly.

Abstract

Indonesia, with its vast geographical characteristics, requires efficient and sustainable long-span bridges to improve regional connectivity. This study aims to determine the optimal arch height for steel-bound arch bridges with cable network configurations and inward slopes based on structural performance. The analysis was conducted using the finite element method through SAP2000 v.25 on a 150 m span bridge with a cable angle of 74° and variations in arch height of 23 m, 24 m, and 25 m. Structural performance was evaluated based on maximum deflection and normalized structural weight on a scale of 0–1. The results show that increasing the arch height reduces the deflection from 148.55 mm to 131.41 mm with a relatively small increase in weight, which is around 0.5%. The 25 m arch height produces the best performance and is recommended as the optimal configuration for an efficient and sustainable tied arch bridge design.
