Abstract

Applying the latest building earthquake resistance codes, SNI 1726:2019 to the reinforced concrete structure of the Islamic Center Building shows several column and beam elements that required strengthening, including beam B1, column K-Bordes, and column K3. This case study research aims to determine the appropriate strengthening method, the thickness of the additional column dimensions with the concrete jacketing method, and the number of FRP layers for columns and beams. Systematic steps in the study process starting from collecting existing data, field investigation, evaluation of structures in accordance with ASCE 41-17, structural modeling with SAP2000, and data analysis. The analysis showed that Column K-Bordes was confined with a thickness of 100 mm using concrete jacketing, Column K3 was strengthened with one layer of GFRP at the plastic hinge, and Beam B1 was strengthened with two layers of GFRP at the support area. Pull-off test showed GFRP adhesion strength values to concrete of 3.80 MPa (Beam B1) and 2.50 MPa (Column K3). This approach proves the effectiveness of the combined reinforcement method in increasing the structural capacity according to the latest earthquake codes.

Abstract

Concrete is the primary choice for construction projects, including its use in aggressive environments such as coastal areas. The high sulfate content in these environments poses a threat to the durability and compressive strength of concrete. The impact of sulfate attack on concrete can result in degradation and a decrease in concrete quality. Several methods have been used to maintain the durability of concrete, such as applying coatings to the surface of the concrete or using pozzolanic materials in the concrete mixture. In this study, Fly Ash was used as a pozzolanic material to reduce the impact of sulfate attack on concrete. The experiment involved adding Fly Ash to the concrete mixture in proportions of 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% by weight of cement. Three test specimens were made for each variation in diameter and height of 10 cm and 20 cm, respectively. The durability test of the concrete used a magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) solution with a dry-wet cycle method according to SNI 3407-2008, which was conducted after curing in water for 28 days. The results of the test showed that adding Fly Ash to the concrete mixture has been proven to reduce damage and minimize the degradation of concrete quality due to sulfate attack compared to normal concrete without the use of Fly Ash. The use of Fly Ash also increased the compressive strength of all test specimens compared to normal concrete without Fly Ash.

Abstract

This study aims to identify accident-prone locations (blackspot) on the Cuwiri – Karangrejo road segment in Tulungagung Regency using the Equivalent Accident Number (EAN) and Upper Control Limit (UCL) methods. Accident data from 2021 to 2024 served as the basis for analysis. The calculation results show the highest EAN value of 870 and UCL value of 201.8, indicating a very high accident risk. Out of 23 stations, 7 were identified as blackspots with the highest EAN of 138 at STA 0+600-0+900 and UCL value of 59.27. The most common type of collision was front-rear (40 cases) and the most frequent vehicle involvement was motorcycle vs motorcycle (64 cases). The main contributing factors include human error, vehicle condition, and inadequate road infrastructure. The findings are expected to support the Tulungagung Regency Government in addressing accident-prone areas.

Abstract

The scarcity of natural materials that meet specifications for road rehabilitation has encouraged the utilization of recycled pavement materials, particularly cement-treated recycled base (CTRB). Despite its widespread use, CTRB is susceptible to shrinkage cracking, which can lead to reflective cracking in the surface layer and reduce pavement service life. This study investigates the performance of CTRB and a modified mixture incorporating emulsified asphalt—designated as IRBCAE (In-place Recycling with Cement and Asphalt Emulsion)—to mitigate shrinkage-induced cracking. Both mixtures were prepared using recycled aggregates containing 5.34% residual asphalt, with a composition of 49% surface course and 51% base course aggregates. Resilient modulus testing was conducted to evaluate mechanical behavior, and pavement structural responses were analyzed using KENPAVE software. The results indicate that IRBCAE exhibits viscoelastic characteristics with superior fatigue cracking resistance, whereas CTRB demonstrates higher stiffness and greater resistance to permanent deformation. In practical application, CTRB requires a thicker asphalt overlay to prevent reflective cracking, while IRBCAE enables the use of a thinner asphalt layer. The differences in structural performance between the two mixtures provide a basis for selecting suitable stabilization methods for recycled base layers.

Abstract

The prestressed concrete type I (PC-I) girder is widely used in Indonesia’s flyovers due to its strength and construction efficiency. This paper deals with a case study of the Northern Ring Road Flyover structure in Tasikmalaya. The research is focused on stress and deflection ratios of a range of PC-I girder variations, including the existing girder, a smaller girder with more tendons, and a larger girder with fewer tendons. The loading standard follows SNI 1725:2016, while prestressing and capacity analysis refer to AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications. Result indicated that the H-170 PC-I girder with 3 tendons provides the most efficient design, with a top fiber stress ratio 0.86 and a deflection ratio 0.27 under permanent and live loads, with a total prestress loss of 19.6%.

Abstract

Indonesia’s is focusing the electricity power production from non-renewable sources to renewable energy resources. Hydropower might be promising; however, its production is highly affected by seasonal variability. Matenggeng dam is designed as multipurpose dam, namely for supplying the irrigation system, flood control, and utilization in a hydropower system. Based on its design report, the Matenggeng Dam is planned to produce power of about 11.74 MWac at water elevation of +194 m. Due to seasonal variability, the power production decreases to 5.74 MWac at the lowest water elevation. Solar energy, on the other hand, has a great potential in Indonesia, this study is aimed to optimize the decrease in existing electricity production in Matenggeng Dam by hybridization of hydropower with floating solar power plants. According to the regulation of Indonesia’s public affair only 20% of the water surface area at normal condition can be used. By taking into account the reservoir operation pattern and the reservoir various conditions, the optimum water surface area that can be used for FPV installation is 295.7 hectare. The result showed that, the solar power plant successfully produces 14 GWh of energy annually, where the monthly generation is stable at 1,200 MWh per month.

Abstract

Confined masonry walls are commonly found in non-engineered housings in Indonesia. To better understand their behavior and to find improvement to the current practice, experimental studies have been conducted using full-scale (3m × 3m) wall specimens, which represent simple housing wall panels. In this research, the performance of plastered confined masonry walls in resisting lateral loads was studied experimentally. Three wall specimens were constructed following general construction practice in Indonesia. All specimens were plastered on both sides. Model 1 was constructed without continuous anchorage, Model 2 with two continuous anchorages with 1m spacing, and Model 3 with two continuous anchorages with 0.5m spacing. The specimens were subjected to cyclic in-plane lateral loads. The parameters evaluated were damage pattern and failure mechanism, load capacity, stiffness, ductility, and energy dissipation. The study revealed that adding plaster improved the wall’s lateral capacity. The continuous anchorage shows less significant improvement on plastered walls compared to non-plastered walls, but still increased stiffness, ductility, and energy dissipation. The study verifies that having plaster and continuous anchorage improve structural performance while delaying damage. Analytical study reveals that all models have adequate capacity to resist the design seismic load based on the current code.

Abstract

Floating wind turbines and floating houses are innovative solutions to global challenges such as land scarcity and rising sea levels. This study investigates the dynamic responses of both structures under wave excitation. The floating wind turbine is modeled as a cantilever column with a lumped mass at the top, while the floating house is idealized as a single-story portal frame. Both structures are supported by pontoons, which are represented as beams on elastic foundations using the Winkler foundation theory. Wave loads are modeled based on linear wave theory and Froude-Krylov forces. The analysis is conducted in the time domain using the Finite Element Method and Newmark-Beta integration scheme. The results show that the floating wind turbine experiences a maximum drift of 61.986 mm, heave of 104.310 mm, and pitch of 0.141°, whereas the floating house experiences a maximum drift of 35.587 mm, heave of 60.621 mm, and pitch of 0.408°. The highest internal forces occur in the pontoon section of both structures, indicating that the pontoon plays a significant role in resisting wave loads. This study contributes to a better understanding of the dynamic behavior of floating structures and demonstrates that a simplified 2D modeling approach can be effectively used as an initial step in designing stable and efficient floating systems.

Abstract

The increasing demand for concrete in the construction industry has led to high cement production, contributing to global CO₂ emissions. This research examines the potential of pineapple leaf ash as a partial cement substitution material to produce more environmentally friendly concrete. An experimental study was conducted with seven variation percentages of pineapple leaf ash substitution (0%, 7.5%, 10%, 12.5%, 15%, 17.5%, and 20%) by cement weight, using 150x300 mm cylindrical specimens. Testing included workability, density, and concrete compressive strength at 28 days. The results showed that slump values decreased with increasing percentages of pineapple leaf ash, from 9.5 cm in normal concrete to 3.0 cm at 20% substitution. Concrete density increased from 2250 kg/m³ in normal concrete to a maximum value of 2335 kg/m³ at 12.5% substitution, then decreased at higher percentages. Optimal compressive strength was achieved at 12.5% substitution with a value of 34.70 MPa, increasing 22.79% compared to normal concrete (28.26 MPa). This research concludes that the optimal pineapple leaf ash substitution is at 12.5%, resulting in significant improvements in concrete density and compressive strength, although with a decrease in workability that must be considered in its application.

Abstract

As an archipelagic country, Indonesia has extensive coastal areas that are intensively developed for infrastructure. Kosambi District in Tangerang Regency is one of the rapidly growing coastal regions due to its proximity to Soekarno–Hatta International Airport. However, the area is predominantly underlain by soft marine clay soils with low bearing capacity and high compressibility, which pose challenges for infrastructure development. To improve soil stability, soil stabilization methods are required to enhance unconfined compressive strength and undrained shear strength. This study aims to analyze the effect of cockle shell powder addition on the unconfined compressive strength and undrained shear strength of soft marine clay. Laboratory tests were conducted on untreated soil and soil stabilized with 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% cockle shell powder by dry weight of soil. The results indicate that the optimum performance was achieved at a 10% addition, resulting in a 24.86% increase in unconfined compressive strength compared to untreated soil. In addition to improving strength, the addition of cockle shell powder reduced water content and enhanced interparticle bonding, thereby improving soil stability. These findings demonstrate that cockle shell powder has strong potential as an effective stabilizing material for soft coastal clay soils.
