Abstract

Four full scale and fully instrumented mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) test embankments were constructed to 6 m high for analyses and comparison of their behaviour, namely: one on hard ground, one on DCM improved ground and two on soft ground. The MSE on hard ground was reinforced with strong polymer geogrid in one side as well as metallic grids and strips in the other side. The MSE on improved ground was reinforced with hexagonal grids. Due to the negligible vertical and lateral movements in hard and improved ground, the consequent maximum tension lines were observed to closely follow the bilinear Coherent Gravity Method with standard distance from the facing of 0.3H where H is the equivalent height of the reinforced embankment. Moreover, two fully instrumented MSE were constructed on soft ground having similar trapezoidal cross-sections. One embankment was reinforced with polymer geogrids and the other with steel grids. The resulting large vertical and lateral movements of both embankments have almost identical patterns. The maximum tension lines of both embankments closely resemble to that of Coherent Gravity Method but with location of the vertical line portion at closer distances of 0.1H to 0.2H from the embankment facing.

Abstract

Water is one of the main factors in human life. This fact brings us to the problem that often occurs, namely the use of low-quality water for the purpose of washing, bathing, cooking and drinking. The characteristics of such water in general, among others, the water is cloudy or dull, sometimes somewhat smelling rust and rancid, if exposed to sunlight for a long time, changes color to brownish black. In addition to feeling less comfortable, if this water is used to wash it will give a yellow stain on the clothes. A healthy way is to use a pipe or closed channel. Commonly used water lines are using bamboo pipes, which are rather expensive are PVC pipes and iron pipes. Especially if you use a large pipe size and for long distances, the required costs will be expensive. For rural areas, of course the problem of the availability of costs also needs attention. By paying attention to the things mentioned above, we will develop a method of making pipes that are simple, using materials that are easily available, and more importantly can be made alone, namely pipes with a mixture of palm fiber and cement. With the use of cement fibers, it is intended to apply the operational process to water with good quality.

Abstract

1g model test is carried out to evaluate the ultimate lateral capacity of the spiral model pile in dense and medium dense cohesionless soil. The spiral model pile is scaled down using a proper similarity equation considering the equivalent second moment of area. The equivalent second moment of the area was obtained from a four-point bending test on a flat bar and compared with a spiral bar. In order to identify the lateral capacity of the spiral model pile, the conventional pipe and flat bar model piles were conducted as well. Winkler's model was adopted to predict the rigid spiral pile's ultimate lateral capacity in cohesionless soil. A simplified model is proposed by developing ultimate lateral soil pressure. The novel shape factor for spiral was obtained for the evaluation of ultimate lateral soil pressure by considering the projected area of the pile. The projected area of the spiral pile was compared with the pipe pile. The comparison study was conducted to spiral, flat, bar, and pipe pile, respectively, for inspecting accuracy. Among the comparison, the proposed model was indicated as a more accurate model than others. The spiral pile was shown a similar performance with a flat bar in both the empirical and the experimental results.

Abstract

Earthquakes can cause damage to the structure of the soil layer, one type of hazard resulting from an earthquake is liquefaction. Liquefaction is an event where the loose sand soil layer experiences a drastic loss of shear strength due to increased pore water pressure as a result of the occurrence of cyclic stresses in very fast soil vibrations in a short time. This liquefaction potential can be analyzed using Cone Penetration Test (CPT) data by considering the value of earthquake acceleration (pga). This study aims to analyze soil conditions in the event of potential liquefaction using CPT (Cone Penetration Test) data through GIS and Surfer applications, computer applications which serves to analyze and create distribution contours from coordinate data and output data from CPT.

Abstract

Soil is one of the factors that has the most important role because it bears the burden of all the constructions that stand on it. Based on this very important role of soil, prior to the start of construction in a location, a soil investigation must be carried out first to find out the condition of the subgrade at the construction site. One of the most frequently used soil investigation methods is Cone Penetration Test (CPT). The purpose of this study includes two things, namely to determine the soil profile at the CPT test location, and to determine the correlation between the data from the Cone Penetration Test results with soil parameters (Soil Volume Weight, Cohesion, and Internal Shear Angle). The method used in this study is to analyze the data from the Cone Penetration Test using the results of the research that has been carried out as a basis for determining the soil profile and the required soil parameters. The results obtained are, the first is based on the data plot on the soil type graph at the Cone Penetration Test (CPT) test location spread over 4 zones, namely Zone 3, Zone 4, Zone 5, and Zone 6. The second is the correlation between soil unit weight and Conus Resistance values are directly proportional, as are Cohesion and friction angles. In addition, the equations used in this paper cannot be used as the main reference, but only used to predict soil parameters when in the field

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to conduct the material flow accounting (MFA) in the integrated catfish breeding system with purpose to evaluate the pollution reduction and the economic benefits gained from the system. An amount of 21.17% of water is evaporated into the air, 4.73% is accumulated in the compost and biomass of cultivation plants, and the larger part of 74.1% after being treated by using aquatic plant flowing in the water ponds is discharged into receiving canal. The pond bottom sludge after being mixed with other organic components in the system is used as compost for fertilizing the cultivation plants. The organic matters accumulated in cultivation plants and soil are 1.95% and 9.6% respectively, and the remaining amount is accumulated in the compost. A larger scale system is recommended for 9 catfish breeding families in the area. However, the wastewater generated from these 9 households is not totally reused for watering purpose due to the limited cultivation land area at these households, thus another households in the neighboring area need to be included in the system in order to form more effective integrated aquaculture system leading to pollution reduction and sustainable livelihood for the local farmers.

Abstract

Solid waste from construction residues can be used as a material for economic value recycled agregate concrete.The use of concrete waste as a substitute for coarse aggregate is expected to be able to overcome problems in environmental pollution.The addition of a superplasticizer to fresh concrete mixtures can increase the strength of the concrete produced with a small amount of water. This study aims to to determine the morphological composition of the recycled concrete microstructure by SEM testing and to determine the effect of natural aggregate substitute materials on the mechanical properties of recycled concrete. Variations of concrete waste used are 0%, 50% and 100%. The compressive strength and flexural strength test was carried out at 28 days of concrete. The test results show that the value of compressive strength of concrete is 43,52 Mpa at the variation of 100% concrete waste. Aluminum (Al2O3), Sulfur Trioxide (SO3), Phosphorus (P2O5) and Lime (CaO) are the most dominant elements in the hydration process of concrete.

Abstract

Mining operations generate large volume of wastes and due to its potential toxic nature, it is managed in accordance to very strict environmental regulations in Ghana. The spent ore can be reutilized as a construction material especially for road, however, due to its granular nature, it is not possible to compact the materials to achieve the required strength for engineering purposes. Laterite which is abundantly found in Ghana was used to improve the engineering properties of spent ore for road base and subbase construction. The laterite was added to the spent ore in range of 10% to 50% to form composites. Physical and engineering laboratory tests including moisture content, Atterberg Limits, compaction and Californian Bearing Ratio were conducted on the composites in accordance with British Standards. The results show that the Liquid Limit of the composites are between 18.7% and 30%, the Plasticity Index are between 1.3% and 11.3%. The soaked CBR values are between 32% and 62%, the unsoaked values are between 31% and 64%. The results show that, 30% addition of the laterite will improve the spent ore for only subbase construction based on Ghana Highway Authority standards for base and subbase materials in Ghana.
