Abstract

The interfacial transition zone (ITZ) has a significant negative impact on the structural performance of concrete. This negative impact can be ameliorated by introducing mineral additions into the concrete. In this study, different forms (degree of circularity) of coarse aggregates and three contents (10 %, 15 % and 20 %) of mineral addition (natural pozzolan) were used to prepare ordinary concrete. This article aims to determine the optimal and effective mixture (the best form of aggregate and addition). This article aims to determine the optimal and efficient mixture (the best form of aggregate and addition) on the basis of mechanical (compressive strength), and chemical (immersion in 3.5 % H2SO4 solution) tests. Furthermore, the effect of the interaction between the aggregate and the modified cementitious matrix was analyzed and discussed using the scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results show that the effect of the addition of 20 % pozzolana improves the aggregate/matrix transition zone, which made it possible to develop a maximum compressive strength at 60 days (51 MPa). In addition, the effect of mineral additions varies depending on the shape of the coarse aggregate. Thus, an effective numerical modeling of the compressive strength is based on the approach of the full factorial design taking into account the degree of circularity of the coarse aggregates and the content of the pozzolan.

Abstract

Vanadium has long been used as a corrosion-resistant coating, including as a metal alloy for battery cathodes. However, batteries discovered with non-smooth cathode surfaces due to the fabrication process have a short battery life. So, a cathode coating stage is required via the electroplating method under the influence of a magnetic field or Magneto Electro Deposition (MED). Knowing the limiting current in MED is very important because the optimum mass transport achieves at the limiting current (iB). The smoothest and most compact electrodeposit surface will occur at this limiting current. In this study, Feed Forward Neural Network and Neural-Wiener are suggested and compared as a nonlinear modeling approach to determine the ideal limiting current because of their strong capacity to anticipate the link between input and output from experiment data. The Levenberg-Marquadt optimization technique with hidden neurons was used to evaluate and compare the modeling capabilities of two neural networks, the Feed Forward Neural Network, and the Neural Wiener. The results of this study are presented as a comparison of the Mean Square Error (MSE) values obtained from the nonlinear modeling of two artificial neural network algorithms. The algorithm that models the ideal current limiting has the lowest MSE value (iB).

Abstract

This study develops a linear mixed model (LMM) that includes spatial effects between regions with a spatial autoregressive model (SAR model). Between observations (regions) on that LMM are usually assumed to be independent. However, these assumptions are not always fulfilled due to dependency between regions. There are two important parts in spatial modeling: spatial dependence and spatial heterogeneity. In this study, we are concerned with the spatial lag or SAR models because dependency between variables of interest is easier to predict. On the other hand, all observations are real and can be directly seen from the data patterns. In addition, as a challenge for researchers to find all estimators while the values of the spatial dependence, sampling variance, and component variance are all unknown. This study aims to find all parameter estimators using a numerical approach and exact solutions. All exact estimators obtained are consistent estimators.

Abstract

Eco-hydraulic analyses begin with the arrangement of tributaries. This research aimed to minimize the discharge of flood run-off downstream and map the flood inundation by spatial analysis uses DEMNAS data and mapping of flood inundation areas using ArcGIS. Analysis of return period flood points using HEC-RAS version 5.0.7. The data needed is the cross section of the river, the distance between the sections, the Manning's roughness number, the return period flood discharge and the slope of the river. The integration between topographic maps, watersheds and flood water levels can display areas that are potentially affected by inundation floods, so that the flood inundation limits and flood inundation areas can be calculated. This research examined proper eco-hydraulics design so that it could reduce discharge, identify locations prone to flooding, and describe the magnitude of the flood impact quantitatively. The results eco-hydraulic method obtained the design border width of 100 m, the condition before the existing river border arrangement was carried out, the inundation height was 0.30 – 1.13 m and after the river border arrangement the discharge could be reduced to 113.09 – 209 m3/s and the inundation height is 0 – 0.31 m. Based on the research results, it is known that border arrangement can provide benefits for flood control measures.

Abstract

In connection with the development plan of the USK campus II area, it is necessary to map the area to support and complete the necessary data. Mapping with an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is a strategy or way for large-scale mapping with a faster and more efficient time. It can save time compared to using conventional survey methods. Ground Control Point (GCP) measurements are carried out with geodetic GNSS to improve the accuracy/correction of the geometry of the aerial portrait results. This research aims to provide preliminary information about the topographic conditions and current appearance of the USK campus II development location. The results of the aerial photo research with a spatial resolution of 5 cm/pixel show that most of the area looks green, which is a forest area. Some areas in the west and north, such as in the rectorate block, are C excavation mining areas. Based on contour data in the USK II area, the PON block's ground elevation is 66 to 301 meters, in the faculty block, 50 to 260 meters, and in the rectorate block, 90 to 188 meters.

Abstract

The destruction of forests in watershed areas has now become a concern of many parties, resulting in floods, landslides, and droughts that continue to increase. Watershed damage is accelerated by increased utilization of natural resources due to population growth and economic development, conflicts of interest, and lack of integration between sectors between the upstream-middle-downstream areas. For this reason, it is necessary to assess land capability in a watershed so that land development follows the land capability class. The research was carried out in the Krueng Peusangan Hilir Sub-watershed, Bireuen Regency, Aceh, Indonesia, from October 2021 to February 2022, which is geographically located at 95°58''00” - 96°52''00” East Longitude and 5°06''00- 5°17 ''00" North Latitude. Land use in the study is dominated by dry land agriculture, covering an area of 19,100.28 ha with a topography area from  0-8% to 25-40%. A survey method by analyzing land capability classes at the study site was carried out for each land map unit (LMU) by comparing land conditions with the land capability evaluation Hockensmith and Steele’s criteria (overlaid of determined thematic maps). The result shows that soil erodibility decreased linearly with increasing organic matter in the soil. Soils with high organic matter content have high erodibility. For the limiting factor on slopes in land capability classes found in  II, III, IV, and VI class categories that are found in all LMUs, if these LMUs are used for agricultural cultivation, soil conservation measures are needed, such as making mound terraces or canal mound terraces, planting in strips and using mulch. The results show that the land capability classes consisted of 16668.30 ha in the land capability II class, 4184.06 ha land capability in the III class, 4524.91 ha in the land capability IV class, and 190.79 ha land capability VI class with a factor inhibiting soil erodibility (medium – very high) and slopes (wavy - rather steep)

Abstract

The tensile test is reliable for revealing the fundamental stress-strain relationship. However, researchers have challenges when applying sufficient equipment to comprehend and assess the tensile characteristics of low-to-medium-strength materials. This study describes the design and construction of a portable universal testing machine (UTM) for investigating the mechanical characteristics of medium-strength materials. The components of this machine include two stepper motors, a load cell, a load cell amplifier, a linear potentiometer, and a data acquisition system. The capability of this machine component is designed for a load of 10 kN with a maximum stroke of 150 mm with vertical motion. Samples of jute and glass fiber composites were tested at room temperature on this machine. The generated results were compared with those obtained from a commercial UTM to validate the developed machine. The values of the mechanical characteristics that a commercial UTM measured are quite similar to those acquired from the measurements that were taken by this machine. The conclusion is that this testing machine is simple, portable, reliable, and might be constructed cheaply

Abstract

Landslides frequently occur on the Subulussalam – Lipat Kajang road segment as a result of heavy rain that lasts for a long time. In addition to landslides, the Subulussalam area is vulnerable to earthquakes because it was once the site of a tectonic earthquake with a magnitude of 6.7 on the Richter scale. The extent of the destruction, as well as the number of victims, was caused by a lack of emergency planning. This research aims to see if the slope conditions are safe when subjected to an earthquake load and if appropriate handling methods can be found based on the soil characteristics at the research site. The slope is considered dangerous after being given an earthquake load of 1.044; according to the results of the safety factor value in the existing condition, sheet pile strengthening is required. The slope has been reinforced with sheet piles and is now in a safe state of 1,940Keywords : Slope stability, safety factor, sheet pile.

Abstract

In this paper, we propose an extension for a model of unsaturated soils developed by Van Genuchten (1980) and obtain a thermos-hydric model to study the influence of temperature on the water retention curve. A brief presentation of the model is described using the independent parameter modeling method. The proposed hydrometric model makes it possible to predict, from the experimental measurements carried out on drainage-humidification paths for an ambient temperature, the WRC (water retention curve) at high temperatures, while knowing the initial state of the soil studied (Compacted or in the form of a paste). We show in this model the existence of the hysteresis phenomenon between the drainage and humidification path and the shift of the downward retention curves showing a slight decrease in the water content as the temperature increases. To validate this model, three experimental results from the literature are simulated. The results obtained by simulating the experimental curves show the ability of the proposed model to predict WRC at high temperatures. These results considerably reduce the number of experimental trials in geotechnical and geothermal unsaturated soils.

Abstract

Wind energy is renewable energy used as an energy source for wind power plants (PLTB). The most common distribution method used to model wind speed distribution data is the Weibull distribution. The Nakagami distribution has begun to be widely used in several studies to model wind speed distribution data. The Nakagami distribution is considered an alternative to the Weibull distribution in modeling wind speed distribution data. This study aims to compare the distribution of Nakagami and Weibull in analyzing wind power potential and calculating the resulting Wind Energy Production (WEP), using wind speed distribution data from both distributions in Kuta Raja, Banda Aceh and Lhoknga, Aceh Besar. The wind speed data used is satellite data (secondary data) downloaded via windguru.cz, with the most stable wind speed being a wind speed of 3-5 m/s. The value of wind power potential at the Kuta Raja location, Banda Aceh was obtained at 64.16% with the Nakagami distribution and 62.73% with the Weibull distribution, and 73.60% with the Nakagami distribution and 73.28% at the Lhoknga location, Aceh Besar. The comparison of these two distributions produces a Weibull distribution that is superior to the Nakagami distribution for both locations, where the Weibull distribution has a smaller error value and produces a WEP value that is in accordance with the actual/observable data compared to the Nakagami distribution. In this study, the Nakagami distribution has results that make this distribution an alternative or comparison to the Weibull distribution in distributing wind speed data with further research.
