Abstract

Earthquake that occurred within a period of several years may be caused reinforced concrete column fails to maintain its performance. Reinforcement methods to improve the quality of concrete in resisting earthquake loads are needed. Strengthening the column with external restraints is expected to increase the strength of the concrete. The use of synthetic Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) as a composite material for external restraint on structures is one of the materials that has been widely used for strengthening concrete structures. Considering the environmental impact, natural FRP materials have been developing nowadays. One of the natural fibers that have been researched and used as a composite material for Natural Fiber Reinforced Polymer (NFRP) is abaca fiber. This research aims to find the contribution of abaca fiber in increasing the compressive strength of confined concrete as a preliminary study. In this study, the test was carried out by applying a compressive load to concrete specimens reinforced with NFRP restraints. The NFRP was investigated with variations in the number of NFRP layers. The results showed that NFRP-confined concrete has a higher compressive strength of 34.73% than the controlled specimen

Abstract

Land cover changes occur along with development and an increase in urbanization, affecting the region's ecology. Tarogong Kidul Sub-district, Garut District, experiences land cover changes that change land surface temperature. This study aims to determine the relationship between land cover changes and land surface temperature. This study uses Landsat 8 Surface Reflectance Tier 1 satellite imagery to extract Normalized Difference Vegetation Index information and process soil surface temperatures for three periods, 2014, 2017, and 2020 as well as supervised classification methods. Image collection and processing are done via Google Earth Engine and ArcGIS Pro software. The results were in the form of the distribution of land surface temperature correlated with changes in the value of the land cover vegetation index using simple linear regression and spatial correlation analysis. This study reveals that land cover change is closely related to the increase in land surface temperature indicated by the rise in land surface temperature in areas experiencing changes in land use. The results of linear regression analysis (84.49%) confirm that land cover changes and the greenness index of vegetation are the most critical driving factors for changes in land surface temperature.

Abstract

Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) waste contains 50-60% Zn. EAF waste synthesis has the potential to produce ZnO, which can be used in a variety of applications. The hydrothermal method is used in the synthesis, with time variations of 3 and 6 hours and temperature variations of 120 °C, 150 °C and 200 °C using precipitating reagents in the form of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and oxalic acid (C2H2O4). UV-Vis spectrophotometer characterization result shows the absorbance value at 365 nm, which is the absorbance characteristic of ZnO material. The result of increasing the Zn element was revealed by XRF characterization. The XRD characterization revealed zinc oxalate dehydrates. This result depicts the hydrothermal with the oxalic acid solvent used to produce zinc oxalate dehydration at various temperatures and time variations.

Abstract

Establishing a spatial mathematical model that uses diverse data types such as ratio data, interval data, and ordinal and nominal data is a challenge. This paper describes how the mathematical model of the rate of natural forest cover change was developed by considering the causes and/or driving forces that come from the society's biophysical and/or socioeconomic aspects. The main objective of this research is to establish a spatial mathematical model using the environmental and socioeconomic variables that play a significant role in determining the rate of natural forest cover change. From a number of variables considered in the analysis, coupled with any other reason, the rate of natural forest cover change (y), in units of ha per year), this study found that there are 10 potential variables, namely the proximity of the road (x4), the proximity of the river (x5), the proximity of the settlement (x6), proximity from the regency capital (x8), the proximity of the capital city of the district (x9), proximity of the edge of the forest in 2015 (x11), the proximity of the plantation area in 2009 (x12), the proximity of the plantation in 2015 (x13), slope class (x16), and elevation class (x17). The standardization process successfully transformed the non-ratio data type into a ratio data type. Using the standardized data, the study obtained spatially mathematical models that are reliable in estimating the rate of forest cover change, namely y = 0.017 + 0.00040x9 with SR of 17.3% and R2 is 88.0%. The study concludes that the most significant factor affecting the natural forest cover change in the study site is the proximity of the district's capital city (x9). Therefore, a spatial mathematical model can facilitate the government in monitoring forest cover.

Abstract

Eco-hydraulic analyses begin with the arrangement of tributaries. This research aimed to minimize the discharge of flood run-off downstream by involving the community's participation in planting vegetation on the river border. An eco-hydraulic analysis is divided into two stages: calculating eco-hydraulic analysis on the existing border width and on the design border width of 100 m and calculating the inundation height and flow velocity. Minimizing flood discharge in tributaries is important because the maximum discharge in the downstream tributaries will affect the discharge in large rivers. The data needed are the cross-section of the river, the distance between the sections, Manning's roughness number, the return period flood discharge, and the river's slope. The integration between topographic maps, watersheds, and flood water levels can display areas 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. Based on the study's results, it was found that the arrangement of river borders can provide benefits for flood control measures; this arrangement is the basis for determining river border lines. 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 arrangements can provide benefits for flood control measures.

Abstract

Mapping with UAVs is a large-scale mapping strategy or method that can shorten the implementation time compared to conventional survey methods that sometimes cannot represent an area as a whole. Aerial photos recorded by drones generally still have a level of position error of up to several meters, so tie points are needed to improve the accuracy of aerial photos. This research aims to utilize drone camera technology to produce geospatial data, both in the form of raster data from aerial photographs and vector data in the form of land contours showing the height of the land surface in Gampong Cot, Gampong Blang, Krueng Kalee, and Angan in Darussalam District, Gampong Durung and Neuheun in Masjid Raya District, Gampong Labuy and Lam Ujong in Baitussalam District. Aerial photo processing produces highresolution image data of 5 cm/pixel. Ground Control Points (GCPs) are used as tie points to improve the accuracy of aerial imagery. GCP measurements use geodetic GNSS, which has an accuracy of cm to mm. Aerial photos that previously had an error rate of 2-7 meters, after being bound with GCP points, the error rate decreased to below 1 meter. Aerial photographs also show that the land cover in the study area is partly forest. Some areas in the west and north are C excavation mining areas. Based on the contour extraction results, the ground elevation in block 1 (Gampong Durung, Gampong Cot, Gampong Angan, and Gampong Lam Ujong) is 66 to 301 meters, block 2 (Gampong Neuhen) is 50 to 260 meters, and block 3 (Gampong Lam Ujong and Labuy) is 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 9558''00 - 9652''00 East Longitude and 506''00- 517 ''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 Steeles 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 interfacial transition zone (ITZ) significantly negatively impacts 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) based on 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 adding 20% pozzolana improves the aggregate/matrix transition zone, making 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, effective numerical modeling of the compressive strength is based on the full factorial design approach, considering the degree of circularity of the coarse aggregates and the pozzolan content.

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-mediumstrength 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 1,940.
