Abstract

Pavement recycling is an appropriate technology for constructing and restoring road pavement structures due to the limited supply and high cost of pavement materials. This study aims to improve the recycled mix's performance by replacing the fine aggregate in the recycled mix for road pavement with Buton Granular Asphalt (BGA). The percentage of recycled material (Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement/RAP) in the mixture was limited to 20% and 30% by weight of the total mixture. BGA was added by 3%, 6%, and 9% in each mixture with the RAP variation. Mixture performance was obtained through Indirect Tensile Strength (ITS) testing. The ITS test results showed that the ITS value of the mixture with RAP and BGA increased by an average of 4.7–15% compared to the mixture without RAP and BGA. The Toughness Index (TI) value increased by 3.5–19.8% with the addition of RAP. With the addition of 3% BGA, the TI value tends to increase and subsequently decrease up to 9% BGA levels. The result indicated that adding 30% RAP and 3% BGA to the mixtures improved pavement performance and could be a solution to increase the elasticity and fracture resistance of the mixture. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-06-09 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Composite concrete Filled Tubular Steel (CFT) members, which have excellent deformability due to the well-known confined and constrained interaction between steel tube and concrete, have largely been utilized as bridge piers or columns in high-rise buildings, resulting in increased strength and decreased column size. This study examined the experimental performance of steel tube columns filled with reactive powder concrete (RPC) under axial compression. Three sets of columns were used in the experiment, each with variations in shape (square, rectangular, and circular), length-to-diameter ratio, and compressive strength of the RPC. The first set consisted of five columns, while the second and third sets each had seven columns with three different lengths (750 mm, 600 mm, and 450 mm) and two different compressive strengths (54 and 92 MPa). A new numerical model was developed to calculate the ultimate failure load of the columns by considering factors such as the yield strength of steel, the compressive strength of concrete, the column shape, and the ratio of concrete to steel. This model was validated by comparing the results obtained from the experiments to those predicted by the model, as well as by designing equations from various codes. The results showed that the proposed numerical model accurately predicted the ultimate failure load for columns filled with different types of concrete, especially for RPC, while maintaining conservatism compared to the ACI, AISC, and EN codes equations. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-06-04 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

In this study, experiments were performed on carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) retrofitted postfire reinforced concrete (RC) beams, followed by theoretical analyzes. Experiments were conducted on eleven RC beams, which were exposed to different fire durations and retrofitted with CFRP in flexure and shear. The experimental results indicated that fire shifted the flexure failure to the flexure-shear failure of postfire RC beams. CFRP retrofitted postfire RC beams experienced progressive peeling-off failure. FRP retrofitting significantly increased the yield deflection by 58.2−97.3% but decreased the ultimate deflection by 43.0−55.5% compared with that of the control beam. Consequently, the ductility was reduced by 69.7−74.7%, categorized as low ductility. CFRP retrofitting successfully increased the strengths of 30-min postfire beams by up to 23.1% higher than those of the control beam. Fire significantly decreased the stiffness of postfire beams by 46.4−49.2% compared with that of the control beam, whereas CFRP retrofitting did not fully recover the stiffness of postfire beams. Finally, a simple model of the moment capacity of postfire beams without/with CFRP retrofits was developed based on the practicability of limited data feasibly obtained from real fires. The proposed model, with its simplicity, practicability, and reasonable accuracy, can be a useful tool for structural engineers in the FRP retrofitting of postfire RC structures. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-07-05 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

This article investigates the mechanical and postfire structural performances of concrete under elevated temperatures (200°C, 400°C, 600°C, and 800°C) after 7 and 28 days of concrete curing. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the post-fire behavior of concrete structures and how their modulus of elasticity values influence their structural parameters. Mechanical studies, namely, the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and flexural strength, were performed on cubes, cylinders, and prism beams under normal and elevated temperatures. Non-destructive tests, like rebound hammer and ultrasonic pulse velocity, were also conducted on concrete cubes to obtain the strength of concrete before and after heating the specimens. Microstructural studies, in particular, scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, were done to analyze the changes in the chemical composition of concrete under the effect of the temperatures. The weight loss of the concrete specimens was assessed under the elevated temperatures. The results indicated that the geometric shapes of the specimens influenced the loss in the moisture content of concrete under an elevated temperature scenario. Microstructural studies revealed the changes in the chemical composition under the elevated temperatures. The results of this research can be further integrated for industrial applications. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-08-04 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

This study aims to identify significant risks and their relationship to the successful operation of the Trans-Sumatra toll road in Indonesia. The research utilizes the Delphi and DEMATEL methods, along with rough set analysis, to identify and evaluate 28 risks associated with toll road operations in Sumatra. The research identifies 13 dominant risks, including policy changes, government intervention, inflation, financial distress, fluctuation of interest rate, fluctuation of currency, high cost of maintenance, low volume of traffic, competitive routes, overloading vehicles, many infrastructure defects, and natural disasters. In this case, natural disasters, inflation, and vehicles with excessive loads are the most dominant cause factors because those risks have the highest cause value based on the cause-effect diagram. Furthermore, the prominence diagram reveals that income risk, policy changes, and financial distress have notable implications for operational activities. The study presents a MCDM risk assessment approach that incorporates rough set analysis, providing a comprehensive understanding of the critical risk relationship factors for toll road operations. By integrating rough set analysis, this research contributes to the field of toll road operations and risk assessment. The identified risks and their relationships serve as a foundation for developing effective strategies for toll road operational management. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-09-03 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

In arid and semi-arid regions particularly vulnerable to climate change, optimizing the long-term operation of multi-purpose reservoirs is paramount. This study derived an optimum two-dimensional rule curve to jointly operate the parallel reservoirs of Mosul and Dukan, Northern Iraq. A hybridized optimization technique combining conventional dynamic programming with the shuffled complex evolution algorithm (SCE-UA) was developed to solve this problem. The results showed that the proportion of normal water supply areas increased from the beginning of the flood season (October) to its highest levels in April (58.77% of the total water supply area). The proportion decreased to its lowest in September (25.04% of the total water supply area). The newly derived 2D rule cure was compared with the current operation policy and was found to optimize the amount of water shortage by 21.1% during the operational period. It also reduced the shortage period and avoided catastrophic water shortages during droughts. In addition, the developed model optimized the amounts of water more than the joint water requirements, suffering from a significant deficit in meeting the demand during some months of the operational years. As a result, the storage in each reservoir was improved and thence can be adapted to face water shortages during future climate changes. This study proved the new hybridized model's applicability and can serve as a tool for sustainable water management. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-07-016 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

This study is focused on evaluating the factors affecting the performance of fiber-reinforced subgrade under cyclic loading. To achieve the objectives of this study, a series of dynamic triaxial (DT) tests was performed, and the following parameters, such as resilient modulus (MR), number of loading cycles (N), cyclic stress (CS), resilient strain (RS), and stress-strain hysteresis response of both the reinforced and unreinforced subgrades were evaluated. Subsequently, a series of scanning electron microscope (SEM) tests was conducted to track the fiber-soil interfacial bonding after the completion of DT test. The results indicated that N and CS triggered an appreciable decrease in MR with significantly high RS deformation for the unreinforced subgrade. However, reversed responses were noted upon the inclusion of sisal fiber due to fiber-soil adhesion and a high ductility response was portrayed by the reinforced subgrades. A reversed response was significant upon 0.25% and 0.5% fiber inclusion, beyond which the CS resistance slightly decreased. The stress-strain hysteresis loop was observed to increase as the axial strain increased proportionally with an increase in fiber contents, thus causing a significant increase in energy absorption in specimens. The SEM micrograph showed tightly knitted fiber-soil adhesion after the DT test. This study indicated that the reinforced subgrade sustained the CS, N, and improved energy absorption capacity, and MRupon fiber inclusion. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-08-015 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Microtremor and geoelectrical resistivity surveys have been conducted in areas where the April 10, 2021, earthquake of 6.1 Mw caused the most damage. Wirotaman Village, Malang Regency, was one of the regions with the most extensive damage. This study aims to investigate the seismic vulnerability and subsurface conditions that result in severe damage at the research location. This study's Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio Analysis (HVSR) curve was derived from the recorded microtremor signal in the frequency domain. The frequency parameter and amplification factor obtained from the curve are used to determine the seismic vulnerability index. In addition, a geoelectrical resistivity study with a dipole-dipole configuration was conducted at the site with the most extensive damage. The results of this study show the correlation between the results of the HVSR curve analysis and geoelectrical resistivity in determining the seismic vulnerability of an area. The results indicated that the high seismic vulnerability index value ranged from Kg= 12.0 to 18.0, with the most severe damage concentrated in the Southwest at SA 05 and SA 06. Based on the results of the geoelectrical survey, information was obtained that several points of damage to buildings at SA 05 (red circle) were on the same line, where this condition was associated with the possibility of new faults at that location. This microtremor and geoelectric resistivity investigation reveals thick sedimentary deposits with a high seismic vulnerability index and low resistivity. This study's findings can be utilized as a guide for micro zonation studies in research areas. This research contributes to the surrounding community in the form of disaster mitigation, where construction must avoid local fault positions that have been found to reduce the level of damage when natural geological disasters occur. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-09-014 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Peat is a problematic soil, and it is a common problem faced by engineers in construction. The characteristics that have been noted before are high moisture content, poor shear strength, great compressibility, and long-term settlement. For this research study, it focuses on stabilizing peat soil using EPP and CaO. There are three main tests that were conducted in this research study: index properties testing, compaction testing, and For Index Properties testing, five (5) experiments were conducted to study the index properties of disturbed peat soil, which are moisture content, fiber content, liquid limit, organic content, pH, and specific gravity. Next, for the Compaction Test, using a 4.5 kg rammer, define the optimum mixture of stabilizer that is mixed with different volumes of 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% of stabilizer. In this study, the expected result is to inspire an in-depth study of the use of EPP material and chemical CaO as peat soil stabilizers for better utilization of problematic soil. The main finding was that the mixture with the exact amount of moisture, EPP, and CaO helped stabilize the soil and cure peat soil. Thus, this study confirms the idea of treating peat with EPP and CaO, enhancing the properties of peat soil, and sustaining the settlement over loading for a period of time accordingly. 20% mix of EPP and CaO produces the highest dry density, showing that dry density increases linearly with the amount of mixture to stabilize peat. The crystallization process between peat and EPP was pronouncedly observed where smaller particles identified as EPP filled the gaps in between the pores identified from SEM. The silicon (Si content developed from each spectrum ranged from 14.4% to 17.7%. The EDX results show significant results where mineral crystallization occurred in the coagulation process. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-07-011 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Concrete is a widely used building material known for its cost-effectiveness and high resistance compared to alternative materials. However, uncertainties in the casting process due to variations in the environment and human error can compromise its strength, increasing the risk of collapse when subjected to seismic excitations. Previous studies have demonstrated the detrimental effects of earthquake vibrations on buildings and infrastructure. This study aims to fill the research gap by investigating the seismic behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) structures constructed with lower-quality concrete under near-fault pulse-like ground motions. The main objective of this research is to assess the impact of diminished concrete strength on structural rigidity and susceptibility to ground disturbances. Specifically, the study aims to quantify the extent of performance changes in defective structures, particularly those constructed with poor-quality concrete, in response to seismic activities. To achieve this, the research involves developing multiple finite element models and conducting nonlinear analysis to scrutinize their behavior. A key focus of the study is to compare the performance of various RC buildings with concrete defects to that of a benchmark model. This comparative analysis highlights the influence of suboptimal quality control on the nonlinear behavior of RC structures. Furthermore, the study examines the correlation between changes in building response and earthquake characteristics to provide comprehensive insights into the potential risks associated with substandard construction practices. Based on the results of this study, it was found that inadequate quality control of concrete significantly impacts the performance of RC frames subjected to pulse-like ground motions. The decrease in compressive strength of the concrete led to noticeable increases in various structural parameters, including story shear, overturning moments, story displacement, drifts, accelerations, and hysteretic energy. These findings highlight the detrimental effects of compromised concrete quality on the overall structural response. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-08-010 Full Text: PDF
