Abstract

This study aims to reveal the lifting power of the bamboo raft in holding the weight of the house on stilts so that it stays floating on the water. This research was conducted on the shores of Lake Tempe, precisely in Laelo Village, Tempe District, Wajo Regency. The method used in this research is a field study to determine the real situation in the field so that the real condition of the floating house is known. Furthermore, calculating the load used on the floating house based on the results of field studies. The final stage of the research is to test the raft lifting capacity of the floating house. The data will be analyzed according to Archimedes' Law, so that it can be seen that the bamboo raft can stay afloat even though it is given an Architectural building as heavy as a simple stilt house. The results of this study revealed that the average number of bamboos used as a raft was 175 stalks, and the mean diameter of bamboos was 7.67 cm or 0.077 m. It is known that the volume of the rod segment cavity is 0.103 m³, so the total volume between sections on the floating raft on Lake Tempe is 18.058 m³. The lifting capacity of bamboo rafts is directly proportional to the volume of bamboo joints used as rafts. The experimental test results obtained revealed that the lifting capacity of bamboo per m3 was 874.51 kg, so the lifting capacity of the bamboo raft in Tempe Lake was 18.058 m³ x 874.51 kg / m³ = 15,789.13 kg. While the results of the calculation of the burden of a simple house are known by calculating the house's own load and the living load experienced by the house, and the weight of the house is 9,314.121 kg. With the ability to lift a bamboo raft of 15,789.13 kg, the difference between the lifting capacity of the bamboo raft and the weight of the floating house is 6,475.01 kg. The ideal number of bamboo culms is 129 with a safety factor of 25%. There is an efficient use of 46 bamboo sticks.

Abstract

Urban communities are social beings who have a high level of activity. One of the activities to release fatigue is a refreshing type of activity. A developing city like Makassar needs open space for the public as a container for community activities, including refreshing activities. The Losari Beach Pavilion is present as an open public space that is visited by the majority of visitors in groups to carry out refreshing activities. This public space has a space configuration whose design is available in several parts of the room as a stopover for visiting activities. This part of the space shows that the activities are overlapping so that space is used in the transit space and some of it becomes empty space. Therefore, this research was conducted to explain the effects of what happens to transit space and empty space, in this case the space that is not functionally stopped. This study used the descriptive qualitative method. The data collection technique uses the behavior mapping method by recording activities and sketches to get an image of the activity pattern carried out by group visitors then presented in tables, pictures and descriptions. The results of the study show that the transit space is a place of stopover because of the influence of spatial area, visibility, historical area, iconic elements, social interaction, while the shelter space was not functionally visited due to the influence of minimizing visibility, social interaction, and arrangement of attribute elements.

Abstract

This study aims to find out the intensity of light in the study room of Islamic boarding school of DDI Lil Banat Parepare. Measurements are taken in rooms that are often used by students to learn, namely classes and dormitories. The type of research used is quantitative by simulation method. Variables are tied to exposure measurement i.e. light intensity. While the variables are free, namely the arrangement of light points and the layout of the study room. Measurements were carried out over three days using a digital lux meter tool. The measurement results showed that the intensity of light in the dormitory did not meet the Indonesian National Standard for study space both night and day. During the day classrooms meet Indonesian National Standards but not at night. Although students as a space user is comfortable with the condition of light intensity in the study room and can learn according to these conditions, students still feel some complaints in the form of sore eyes, tense eyes and difficulty focusing. Thus, researchers made recommendations on the design of study rooms that can make students more comfortable learning in dormitories and classrooms so as to reduce complaints while studying. Lighting design recommendations are made in several alternatives by adding the number of lamps and changing the type of lamp using Dialux simulation. The simulation results of the study room lighting design recommendations have met the standards for use so that it can be applied to dormitories and classes at the Islamic boarding school of DDI Lil Banat Parepare. Keywords: Artificial lighting design; study room; light intensity

Abstract

In urban areas where land for parking is very limited, drivers often waste time, fuel, and emissions circling around without information if unoccupied parking spaces are available or not. In this paper, we design and implement a low-cost wireless system to count the number of cars and motorcycles in a parking lot. The system consists of two sensor devices, which are installed at an entrance gate and an exit gate of a parking lot. Each device has a NodeMCU ESP8266, an HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor, and an MPU-9266 accelerometer. We use REST API as the web service to connect sensor devices and users, who will access the parking information using a web browser. The C4.5 algorithm is utilized to construct a decision tree to classify detected objects as cars, motorcycles, or people. We show by experiment that our sensor devices and the wireless monitoring system work correctly.

Abstract

A deck construction must be strong enough that it will not suffer structural damage if it works under a given load. In this case the strain stress becomes very important from the strength of the deck, as for one that affects the strength of the deck construction, one of which is the stiffener distance. This study aims to analyze the maximum strain stress on the deck of the Ferry Ro - ro. The method used is Finite Element Method (FEM) by varying the stiffener distance in the deck construction. The research results obtained, namely the variation of the stiffener distance of 600 mm. 285.5 N/mm2 and the maximum strain released is 1.76 x 10-3 mm, at a variation of 700 mm stiffener distance the maximum stress released is 378,075 N/mm2 and the maximum strain released is 1.77 x 10-3 mm, at a stiffener distance variation 800 mm the maximum stress released is 383,737 N/mm2 and the maximum strain released is 1.78 x -3 mm, at 900 mm stiffener distance variations the maximum stress is 389,188 N/mm2 and the maximum strain released is 1.79 x 10-3 mm, at variations in distance stiffener 1000 mm the maximum stress released is 425,388 N/mm2 and the maximum strain released is 1.8 x 10 -3 mm, The value of strain increasingly increases followed by the farther distance of the stiffener equal 0.6%, and the stress value is at a variation increasingly increases followed by the farther distance of the stiffener equal 12.24%.

Abstract

One of the types of tofu industries in Indonesia is that the small-scale tofu industry was located in the East Jombor, Ketapang Village, to be precise, on the Blorong River. The Simplified Tofu Industry, with a 1300 kg/day production capacity, produces liquid waste that is disposed of into the Blorong River with a BOD parameter of 2,726 mg/L, COD of 4,972 mg/L, and TSS of 388 mg/L.These values greatly exceed the quality standards based on the Regional Regulation of Central Java Province Number 10 of 2004 concerning Tofu Industry. The entry of these pollutants into the Blorong River, over time, can cause water bodies to become toxic and pollute the Blorong River. Therefore, one of the efforts to protect this river's environmental conditions is to increase the efficiency of the Wastewater treatment plant and substitute the determined fuel through alternative scenarios. In the MBBR scenario, substituting diesel fuel into biomass is a type of biodiesel. Biodiesel has an advantage for the fire tube boiler industry because it can reduce exhaust emissions compared to diesel. Meanwhile, the existing wastewater treatment is substituted for the MBBR unit. The choice of MBBR as a wastewater treatment unit is because it is economical, does not require large land, is simple in development design, and is accessible in operation and maintenance. In the second scenario (SBR), a transition of Diesel fuel to LPG. LPG as a fuel input in the cooking process will result in cleaner emissions, especially on the SO2 parameter, and better because it has a higher heating value than diesel, 47,3 Tj/Gg. Both scenarios are analyzed regarding the magnitude of the impact on the environment using the OpenLCA method. The resulting impact magnitude on the OpenLCA method from each alternative is evaluated to obtain the best scenario. In the Tofu Industry, the best design the resulting impact is smaller than the SBR alternative.

Abstract

A method is presented for determining the free vibration frequencies of doubly curved, isotropic shallow shells under general edge conditions and is used to obtain accurate natural frequencies for wide range of geometric parameters. Based on the shallow shell theory applicable to thin thickness shells, a method of Ritz is extended to derive a frequency equation wherein the displacement functions are modified to accommodate arbitrary sets of edge conditions for both in-plane and out-of-plane motions. In numerical computation, convergence is tested against series terms and comparison study is made with existing results by other authors. Twenty one sets of frequency parameters are tabulated for a wide range of shell shape and curvature ratio to serve as data for future comparison and practical design purpose.

Abstract

In the design of viscoelastic materials used in rubber products, not theoretical approaches but experimental approaches have been usually employed. This is due to the difficulties in mathematical procedures of the dynamic material characteristics such as the dependencies of strain amplitude, frequency and/or environmental temperature in deformation. In mathematical approach there are two kind of analytical models for a complex module of the material, which are a fractional derivative model and a spring-dashpot model. However there are few papers dealing with the study of the identifications of parameters for the experimental modulus actually obtained not only by using the fractional derivative model but also by using the spring-dashpot model and the discussion of the comparisons of the two models. In the present paper, the complex elastic modulus for a rubber material are obtained experimentally for a wide range of excitation frequency, and the modulus-frequency relations are derived analytically by using the two models, respectively. Finally, the applicability of the models are discussed from the numerical results.
