Abstract

Many researches on the synthesis of hydrophobic coatings have been carried out, but in use, the coating is easily scratched, easily damaged by contact with other objects and easy to corrode, thereby reducing the quality of the coating. This can hinder the application of hydrophobic coatings in industry and others. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a hydrophobic coating that is strong and durable and anti-corrosion so that it can improve the quality of a surface. For this reason, research is carried out by mixing a substrate that has anti-corrosion properties such as silica and is hard such as manganese in order to overcome the problems that occurred previously using the spin coating method. The precursor was made by adding 0.5 grams of polystyrene composition, with varying SiMn composition. The coating was carried out using the spin coating method and the calcination temperature was 60°C using an oven for 1 hour. The results of this study from the composition variation showed that the SiMn/PS nanocomposite layer was hydrophobic based on the contact angle test. The largest contact angle at 50%:50% composition.

Abstract

Utilization of waste pensi shells (Corbicula Moltkiana) in Lake Maninjau has not been fully optimal so that a more economical business is needed. One of them is the use of calcium oxide in pensi shells. Calcium oxide is one of the most commonly used calcium in the manufacture of dentures. This study aims to determine the value of the optimum flexural strength of the denture in order to obtain a higher quality denture material on the pensi shell that can be utilized and which has economic value. The method used is the experimental method. The sample used in this study with a size of 90 mm X 18 mm X 8 mm for testing flexibility / flexural strength. The total samples used in this study were 12 samples for testing the flexibility/flexural strength using a bending testing machine. For the use of pensi shell material, a calcination process was carried out at a temperature of 1000℃ on the pensi shell material and then characterized using XRF to determine the ingredients. The results of the characterization using XRF showed that pensi shells contain calcium elements of 97.121% and about 3% other elements such as Si, Al, P, Ag, Mn and Fe. Then the pensi shell material is mixed with other ingredients such as felsdpar, quartz, and kaolin. The material is mixed and then molded for flexural testing specimens. Based on the test results of this study, the highest flexibility value for denture samples was found in sample 4 with the most variations of pensi shell powder. The highest denture flexibility value is 25.778 MPa with a variation of 30 gram pensi shell powder in sample 4. The lowest denture flexibility value is 5.727 MPa with a variation of 0 gram pensi shell powder in sample 1. This is due to the addition of pensi shell powder. can increase the value of flexibility in dentures. The increase in the flexibility value was influenced by the CaO content obtained from the pensi shell powder.

Abstract

The city of Padang is an area severely affected by the earthquake that occurred in the Subduction zone. Earthquakes with large magnitudes greatly affect the damage to buildings, one of the factors that can determine the size of the damage is the peak ground acceleration. The peak ground acceleration and earthquake intensity in Padang City can be calculated using an empirical formula. The research area is on the grid with a distance of 0,02°, in order to obtain 196 calculation points. The empirical formula used is Mc. Guire, Si and Midorikawa, Fukushima-Tanaka, and Donovan which were validated with peak ground acceleration data from accelerographs so as to produce an appropriate empirical formula used to calculate the peak ground acceleration value in Padang City. From the validation process it was found that the Fukushima-Tanaka formula is the appropriate formula used to calculate the peak ground acceleration value in the city of Padang with the lowest average error percentage. The results of the calculation show that the highest peak ground acceleration value is in Bungus Teluk Kabung District, which is 69-73 gal, while the lowest peak ground acceleration value is in Koto Tangah District, which is 60-65,5 gal. Based on the peak ground acceleration value, it is known that the intensity of the earthquake in Padang City has a scale of VI MMI.

Abstract

West Sumatra Province has four active fault segments, namely part of the Sumatran fault zone which causes frequent earthquakes. Therefore, it is necessary to research b-value analysis and PGA in the province of West Sumatra by using the maximum likelihood method and empirical formula for earthquake disaster mitigation efforts. This study aims to determine the b-value associated with rock stress and PGA as the level of earthquake activity and analyze the distribution map. The data used is earthquake data for the period 2007-2020 with a magnitude ≥ 5 SR and a depth of ≤ 100 km. The results of data processing produce a map of the distribution of b-value and PGA in the province of West Sumatra. The b-value in each region ranged from 0.8421-1.4477. Based on the b-value distribution map, the area that has the smallest b-value is in region 6, while the largest value is in region 2. A low b-value correlates with high rock stress conditions. This value illustrates that area 6 has a high chance of a major earthquake occurring. Furthermore, the calculation of the PGA value refers to the general form of Lin and Wu's empirical equation to obtain a new empirical formula model. The value of the coefficient a=−1.20543, b=−0.839093, and c=6.88858. The PGA value of West Sumatra province ranges from 10.87-376.98 gal. The city/regency with the largest PGA value is in the Mentawai Islands Regency, which ranges from 84.11-328.17 gal and the lowest value is in Dharmasraya Regency, which is between 10.87-35.28 gal.

Abstract

The Mentawai Islands are one of the areas that are active in seismicity. An earthquake measuring 7.2 on the Richter scale on October 25, 2010 resulted in many casualties and material losses. Many buildings collapsed and facilities were damaged so that space managers needed a seismic hazard map to be able to organize the space by considering the disaster aspect. This prompted researchers to conduct research aimed at making seismic hazard maps and knowing the level of earthquake hazard in the Mentawai region. Seismic hazard maps are useful in planning earthquake-resistant buildings and can describe the effects of earthquakes at a location which will help in anticipating community preparedness and earthquake disaster mitigation efforts. Seismic hazard data processing uses the Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA) method. PSHA is based on earthquake parameters that produce the largest ground motion. The magnitude of the intensity at a location due to an earthquakein the earthquake source area with a magnitude of M and a distance of R, the attenuation function can be used. The attenuation functions in this study are Joyner-Boore (1997) and Young et al (1997). This type of research is descriptive, namely by collecting NEIC/USGS earthquake catalog data for the period 1950 - 2021 with M 5 SR.The results of this study indicate that the area of ywhich has a high level of seismic hazard is found in the Siberut area with a maximum PGA range of 1.17 g - 3.70 g. The area with a low seismic hazard level is the Pagai area with a PGA range of 0.80 g - 2.86 g. This result represents a 10% chance of being exceeded in 50 years.
