Abstract

A column is a structural element that carries axial compressive loads. This compressive axial load causes the shortening of the structural column. It causes the column to be subjected to a tensile force in its axis perpendicular to the compression axis. This tensile force causes the column to collapsereinforcement methods to improve the quality of concrete in resisting higher axial compressive loads. 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 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. This study conducted the test by applying a compressive load to concrete specimens reinforced with NFRP restraints. Specimens were cylinders with a diameter of 150mm and 300mm in height. NFRP was applied at the cylinder circumference area (jacketing method) by using manual wet-layup techniques. 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

The multi-reservoir operation rules require accuracy in developing its technical parameters. This is done to prevent operational failure in one of the reservoirs. The water transfer concept is to manage the water resources distribution between the receiving watershed and the donor watershed. The availability of transferable water must be prioritized, meeting the water demand of the donor reservoir. Storage capacity in both reservoirs aims to meet water demand, especially in the recipient. The elevation of the interconnecting tunnel is the minimum limit for water use in simulation. The interconnected tunnels' location and capacity will determine the multi-reservoir's operation rule. The interconnected tunnel in the Rukoh Tiro reservoir transfers water in the operation of the two reservoirs. The simulation is carried out in three seasons, considering the inflow of each watershed, the reservoir's downstream water demand, and the reservoir's technical conditions. The simulation results of the Rukoh Tiro reservoir operated simultaneously in all three seasons show that the fulfillment of irrigation water demand can reach 100% as needed. The water transfer process through interconnected tunnels occurs throughout the year. The reservoir operating rule is expected to be a reference in the multi-reservoir operation to obtain an optimal reservoir operating rule.

Abstract

A good strength level of the ground surface is the main concern in an area with rapid housing infrastructure development,such as Baitussalam district-Aceh Besar, Indonesia. A seismic refraction method was applied with three similar profile lines using PASI 16S 24P equipment and 10 Hz vertical geophones to identify the sub-surface layer. The result was processed using Winsism software and Surfer 8. The results of seismic refraction were deduced and correlated with conventional geotechnical investigation obtained by a previous study. The results of 3 survey lines show that the area has two main layers. The first layer was interpreted as overburden (soil and clayey sand) with a compressional wave velocity (Vp) value of fewer than 1.8 km/s. The second layer produces a high velocity of more than 2 km/s. This second layer is interpreted as highly to moderately weathered rock. The results of seismic refraction surveys of the present study suggest a reasonably good correlation with the standard penetration test (SPT) and rock quality designation (RQD) obtained in the previous investigation. The strength level of the second layer showed N-SPT of 65 and RQD of at least 50%.

Abstract

Teurebeh Irrigation scheme is one of the promising irrigation areas in Aceh Besar District, Aceh Province. It is also one of the buffers in the agricultural sector, covering 750 hectares of agricultural area. However, the construction has shrunk over time, and the evaluation at the end of 2020 classified it as "Poor Performance and Requiring Attention." This study aims to determine the handling priority for the irrigation networks at the Teurebeh Irrigation scheme. Data on irrigation network inventory was used as input. The determination of handling priority was conducted using the MannWhitney method. The ranking for determining the priority of irrigation assets is based on the condition and function of the irrigation assets. ArcGIS and Google Earth software were used to determine the condition and handling of all assets. The results show that the handling priority levels are between the primary and secondary channels. The priority for handling irrigation structure in the secondary channel is for two tapping structures, and one divider structure are ranked 1 to 3. They must be fixed immediately as severe to moderately damaged conditions are not functioning correctly. Furthermore, the priority for handling irrigation structure in the primary channel is for two bridges, and one divider structure are within priority 1 to 3. The Mann-Whitney test on the proposed hypothesis comparing the urgency level between the two channels is insignificant, indicating no significant difference between the handling of primary and secondary channels, as both have similar conditions and functions. The results are expected to contribute to decision-making at the Irrigation Department in designing proposals for renovating irrigation networks.

Abstract

Land cover changes affecting the area's ecology align with the development and increase in urbanization. Tarogong Kidul Subdistrict, Garut Regency, experienced changes in the land cover which changed the soil surface temperature. This study aims to determine the relationship between changes in land cover and land surface temperature. This study used Landsat 8 Surface Reflectance Tier 1 satellite imagery to extract information on the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index and process ground surface temperatures for three periods, 2014, 2017, and 2020, and the guided classification method. Image collection and processing were carried out using Google Earth Engine and software. ArcGIS Pro. The distribution of land surface temperature was then correlated with changes in the NDVI (value of the land cover vegetation index) using simple linear regression analysis and spatial correlation. This study reveals that land cover change is closely related to an increase in soil surface temperature, as indicated by the rise in soil surface temperature in areas experiencing land use change. The results of the linear regression analysis (84.49%) showed that changes in land cover and the greenness index of vegetation were the most critical driving factors for changes in soil surface temperature.

Abstract

This research has utilized fish bone wastes of tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) collected at the Lampulo fish market in Banda Aceh. Inorganic oxides have been derived from those fish bone wastes through the decomposition method at high temperatures, namely the calcination process in air atmosphere at 900C for 4 hours. The physicochemical properties of obtained inorganic oxides were characterized using XRD and SEM-EDS techniques. The characterization results indicated that the composition of the calcined fish bone contained hydroxyapatite, CaCO3, and CaO, in which the hydroxyapatite phase has been the major component. Furthermore, the calcination process positively impacts improving the physical morphology and crystalline phase of inorganic oxides. Finally, those obtained inorganic catalysts based on fish bone waste have been applied for transesterifying Coconut oil with methanol, resulting in three main compounds: trimethyl borate, methyl laurate, and methyl octanoate.

Abstract

Facies classification is the process of identifying rock lithology based on indirect measurements such as well log measurements. Usually, the facies are classified manually by experienced geologists, so it takes a long time and is less efficient. In this paper, two machine learning (Support vector machine and K-Nearest Neighbor) were adopted to increase the effectiveness and shorten the time process of facies classification in Z Field, Indonesia. The machine learning algorithm was carried out in 4 steps, i.e. data selection, training phase, verification, and validation stage. The machine learning input data are density log, gamma ray log, resistivity log, SP log; and the output facies target are Sandstone, Siltstone, Claystone, and Limestone. The data is divided into train data for the training process and test data to validate the machine learning output. In Support vector machine results, the training accuracy is 70.1% and the testing accuracy is 47.4%, while in KNearest Neighbor results, the training accuracy is 70.1% and the testing accuracy is 63.3%. This result showed K-Nearest Neighbor has better accuracy than the support vector machine in facies classification in the Z field.

Abstract

The population growth rate is a factor that causes changes in land use that impact land ecology due to increased population activities related to social, economic, and cultural aspects. Land use change aims to develop facilities and infrastructure to meet the population's needs. This research seeks to interpret land-use changes in 1999, 2008, and 2019 and predict land use in the Peusangan watershed in 2030. The map overlay method analyzes land use change in 1999-2008, 2008-2019, and 2019-2030. In predicting land use, this study uses the Cellular Automata approach. The results of the analysis specifically show that the trend of land use change until 2030 is a decrease in the area of forest land use covering an area of 11,014 ha (4.27%), open land covering an area of 31 ha (0.01%), shrubs 6,083 ha (2.36%), and water bodies covering an area of 459 ha (0.18%). On the other hand, it is predicted that in 2030 the Peusangan watershed will see the most significant increase in land use for plantations of 14,225 ha (5.52%), followed by land use of 1,664 ha (0.65%), 817 ha (0.32%), settlements covering 710 ha (0.28%), 132 ha of rice fields (0.05%), and 28 ha of pond land use (0.01%). The results of this study are expected to be input for policymakers regarding land use planning in the Peusangan watershed in the future.

Abstract

The existence of forest park areas plays an essential role as carbon sequestration can reduce the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Analysis of carbon potential is essential in determining the amount of available carbon potential. This study aims to analyze the carbon potential in the forest park area Pocut Meurah Intan Forest Park. The study used a descriptive method with the sampling technique of the path system. Data analysis and calculation of carbon potential using allometric equations to calculate the total biomass. Spatial analysis using Arc.GIS 10.4 software and the carbon content analysis was carried out using the ashing method. The results showed that the potential carbon stock of Pocut Meurah Intan Forest Park was 640,282 tons. The carbon potential is the carbon stored above the ground in the form of carbon from above-ground biomass (trees, poles, saplings, undergrowth) and organic matter (necromass and litter). The highest carbon potential was found in the secondary dryland forest land cover with a total of 555,204 tons or 167.6 tons ha1 , followed by shrubs of 78,949 tons or 33.3 tons ha -1 , and the lowest potential carbon stock was found in the open field of 303 tons or 2.8 tons ha-1 . The increase in land cover in secondary dryland forests causes increased carbon storage. The low potential for carbon stocks is due to land clearing and a small number of stands, resulting in a decrease in potential carbon stocks.
