Abstract

The availability of embankment material and the quality of the material is one of the problems in planning a dam, especially impermeable material which must be watertight. With the GeoStudio application, the dam will be modeled to observe the stability of the dam, especially against landslides and seepage. Modeling I is modeled with core zone material using upstream borrow clay material and modeling II using downstream borrow clay material. Modeling III and IV used the same core material with the addition geomembrane material between the transition zone and the upstream filter. The geomembrane was added to observe and compare the effect of use on the stability. The weir body was analyzed under conditions when the weir body was completed, flood water level, normal water level, low water level and rapid drawndown water condition. Modeling III with upstream borrow clay material and geomembrane between the transition zone and upstream filter is the design with the best stability with the most critical avalanche safety factor of 2.459 downstream of the weir under flood water level conditions. The seepage discharge downstream of the weir is 0.0017 m³/dt/m and the maximum seepage discharge is 0.0026 m³/dt/m under flood water level conditions.

Abstract

Supplementary Cementitious Materials have been widely researched for application in concrete works, primarily to reduce dependence on cement as a binding medium. This research sought to add to that knowledge base by determining the effect of crushed waste glass powder on the durability performance of hardened concrete in an aggressive environment. Crushed waste glass powder was added to the concrete mix at 10%, 20% and 30% respectively by weight of cement. Fresh concrete was subjected to slump test while hardened concrete was subjected to compressive strength, water absorption, sulphate attack and electrical resistivity tests. The results were then compared to the control mix as well as previous studies. Optimal results were obtained at 30% addition of crushed waste glass powder into the concrete mix, noting an increase in compressive strength by 32.5%, water absorption reduced by 5.9%, sulphate attack effect was low while electrical resistivity reduced by 14.7%. Keywords: Absorptivity, Crushed Waste Glass, Durability, Electrical Resistivity, Pozzolanic Activity, Sulphate Attack.

Abstract

The United Nation states that vehicle fuel gas emissions from the transportation sector are a significant contributor to global warming. One of the preventative steps that universities can take is to limit the use of vehicles to and within the campus environment. Andalas University as one of the largest campuses in West Sumatra is very interested in taking an active role in reducing vehicle fuel gas emissions. The first aim of this research is to observe the ratio of vehicles entering campus to the campus population, and calculate the percentage reduction in private vehicle use, in order to increase the UI green metric level. Second, identifying potential private vehicle users who will switch to using Trans Padang public transportation. Traffic volume data collection is carried out using video recordings. A questionnaire interview survey was also carried out to analyze the campus population's preference for switching to public transportation. The survey results show that the volume of vehicles entering campus is more than twelve thousand vehicles. To achieve an increase in the value of one level of the UI green metric requires a reduction in private vehicles of 63.4%. The results of the chi-square test for the variables of employment, private vehicle ownership, and monthly income influence the variable frequency of private vehicle use. Users of motorbikes, private cars, online taxis and paratransit wish to shift mode using Trans Padang, and conventional motorcycle taxi users really wish to shift mode using Trans Padang.

Abstract

The slope deflection method assumes all joints are considered rigid, which means the angle does not change under any loads. This ensures that compatibility and deflection are neglected due to shear and axial stress. The numerical determination of forces and deformation in structures through applying the slope deflection method necessitates a relatively extended computational time and demands high-precision results. An effective tool can efficiently and precisely determine internal forces and structural deformations. This study utilizes the Frame Design Application version 5177, initially released on 24 June 2012 and has since been updated as of 2 February 2022, an Android-based application. Utilizing the Frame Design Application facilitates the expeditious and precise determination of internal forces and structural deformations. It is a valuable tool for professionals in civil engineering, mechanical engineering, and architecture, as well as students seeking to build 2D hyperstatic frames through Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The primary objective of this paper is to evaluate the precision of the Frame Design Application to determine its suitability for educational purposes. This paper will also evaluate the precision of the analysis outcomes by manual calculations and the utilization of SAP2000 Software. The provided analysis results exhibit negligible disparities. The Frame Design Application is a highly recommended tool for those in civil engineering, mechanical engineering, architecture and students seeking to design 2D hyperstatic frames through Finite Element Analysis (FEA).

Abstract

This research aimed to enhance the current density and specific capacitance of electronic device materials to replace traditional metal materials. Composite materials that include Nata de Coco, TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl), and MXene achieve this improvement. Composite materials that include Nata de Coco, TEMPO, and MXene accomplish this improvement. Initial testing has shown that these materials initially demonstrated lower electrical properties, particularly in current density and specific capacitance, than conventional metals. To enhance their electrical properties, we employed a boiling method with variations in boiling time. The time intervals chosen were 30, 300, and 480 minutes. In the manufacturing process, Nata de Coco, previously oxidized by TEMPO, was boiled in an MXene solution at a temperature of 70°C. We tested the electrical properties of the resulting composite film, focusing on current density and specific capacitance. The measured current density values, corresponding to the different boiling times, were as follows: 0.000239 A/cm² for 30 minutes, 0.000307 A/cm² for 300 minutes, and 0.000320 A/cm² for 480 minutes. The specific capacitance values were 1.7005 F/g for 30 minutes, 1.9707 F/g for 300 minutes, and 2.0364 F/g for 480 minutes. The percentage increase in current density and specific capacitance values from 30 minutes to 300 minutes of boiling was 22% and 13.7%, respectively. For boiling from 300 to 480 minutes, the increase was 4.06% for current density and 3.22% for specific capacitance. These findings suggest that longer boiling times result in improved electrical properties. Subsequently, characteristic tests were performed, including XRD (X-ray diffraction) and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) analyses. The XRD results indicated that longer boiling times caused a rightward shift of the diffraction peak with a narrower peak width, signifying increased crystallinity. The highest X-ray intensity was observed in the composite boiled for 480 minutes, with a power of 847.23 counts per second (cps) and a two-theta angle of 21.31°. Additionally, the smallest crystal size was achieved with a 480-minute boiling time, measuring 138.2851 Å. In the SEM analysis, it was evident that longer boiling times led to a higher fraction of MXene within the composite film.

Abstract

The 3-phase induction motor is an electric motor with a strong, reliable, and easy-to-operate construction, and it is cheaper compared to other types of electric motors, making it widely used by the public. Although this motor is considered reliable, it still has some drawbacks, such as low performance, including starting torque, power factor, and efficiency compared to other types of electric motors. Therefore, research to improve the performance of this motor is ongoing. This paper aims to outline some methods that have been used by previous researchers to improve the performance of induction motors based on literature studies. Some of the methods discussed in this paper include the use of permanent magnets on the rotor, operating the 3-phase induction motor on a single-phase system, developing ferromagnetic materials for the motor, increasing the number of coil phases, and optimizing coil design in the motor. The advantages and disadvantages of using these methods to improve motor performance are briefly outlined.

Abstract

The aim of the research was to study enzyme activity as biosensors for peatland degradation in oil palm plantations. The study was conducted in Pesisir Selatan,West Sumatra, on two peatlands with different thicknesses and location coordinates, namely peat with a thickness of <3 m S: 02o18'45.5", 101o00’37.3” and peat with a thickness >3 m S: 02o20’07.5”, E: 101o00’22”. The oil palm in these two locations is 11 years old (planting year of 2007). Observations and sampling of peatlands were carried out on the plantation blocks using the transect method. The transect was set perpendicular to the drainage canal. Peat samples were collected outside the roots (non-rhizosphere) of oil palm. Observation sites were at a distance of 5, 15, 25, 50, 75, 100, 150 m from the edge of the drainage canal and at the thickness of the root layer of 0-25 and 25-50 cm. Peat characteristics observed were water table level, laccase activity, water content, pH, total Fe, and Cu. The water table level in one transect ranged from 60-80 cm and was still within tolerable limits. The laccase activity as a peat degradation biosensor in oil palm plantations in Pesisir Selatan peatland was higher in the 0-25cm layer with an average of <0.5 µmol/g. The increase in water content decreased the laccase activity along with increasing of the distance from the drainage canal and the thickness of the peat layer. The increase in Fe and Cu resulted from increased levels of ash, particularly in peat with a thickness of <3 m, may suppress laccase activity. Peatland in the oil palm plantation of Pesisir Selatan is still relatively stable despite the decomposition processes characterized by laccase activity as a biosensor for peat degradation.

Abstract

Distributed Generation (DG) will become a future generation system known as a renewable energy source. Renewable energy is a topic being developed due to being environmentally friendly. It fulfills the need for electrical energy to replace fossil energy sources to reduce climate change due to carbon emissions towards net-zero emissions by 2050, reducing climate change by 1.50 C to 20 C. Solar photovoltaic (PV) is an energy source that has been widely developed and has enormous potential; where PV can be integrated off the grid and on the grid. Integrating PV into the network is challenging, so the network remains stable and reliable due to intermittent energy generation. This paper reviews the integration of PV-DG distribution networks. Topology, optimization, and impacts on the distribution network are also discussed in this paper. The literature review results show that PV-DG integrated into the grid has an impact caused by intermittent PV generation.

Abstract

Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya is experiencing road traffic congestion which gets worse at peak times. Amongst, the interventions tried to help reduce the congestion is the introduction of commuter rail services. However, almost 11 years after commissioning the usage of the service is still very low and the roads are still experiencing congestion. The aim of this study is to determine the influence of the commuter rail service in decongesting the roads in Nairobi. The study made use of questionnaires to determine the stakeholders’ perception on the influence of travel cost, travel time, convenience and reliability in attracting them to the usage of the commuter rail. The results indicate a direct relationship on the influence of travel time, travel cost, convenience and reliability of the commuter rail to decongestion of roads. The improvement of the travel aspects of time, cost, convenience and reliability is expected to attract users to the commuter rail in effect reducing road transport users leading to less congestion on the roads
