Abstract

This study investigates the effect of using sea sand as fine aggregate on the compressive strength of concrete. The experimental research involved preparing concrete samples with varying proportions of sea sand, comparing their performance against conventional river sand. Compressive strength tests were conducted on the samples at 14 days, revealing that samples containing river sand exhibited significantly higher compressive strength than those with sea sand. The average compressive strength for concrete with 100% river sand was found to be 18.23 N/mm², while the presence of chlorides in sea sand, despite washing, adversely affected the strength. Statistical analysis confirmed a significant difference in strength between the control and sea sand mixtures. While sea sand presents an environmentally sustainable alternative, particularly in coastal regions, its use requires careful consideration of chloride content to prevent corrosion of steel reinforcement. This study concludes that sea sand can be a viable option for non-load-bearing or temporary structures, provided that appropriate measures are taken to mitigate potential risks.

Abstract

Infrastructure development projects, particularly bridge construction, have significant impacts on the social lives of communities. This study aims to analyze various aspects of the social impacts caused by bridge construction projects in Indonesia, focusing on social, cultural, economic, and environmental changes. The methods used in this research include field surveys, in-depth interviews, and secondary data analysis. The results indicate that while bridge projects can enhance accessibility and create job opportunities, there are negative impacts such as population migration, land-related social conflicts, and changes in community lifestyles. This study suggests the need for better management strategies and community involvement in the planning and implementation of projects to maximize benefits and minimize negative impacts on the community.

Abstract

The findings reveal that modern construction methods significantly enhance efficiency and reduce overall project costs, primarily through innovative techniques such as prefabrication and modular construction. In contrast, traditional methods excel in craftsmanship and cultural significance, often resulting in distinctive architectural features that reflect local heritage. While traditional practices demonstrate lower environmental impact through the use of locally sourced materials, modern methods are increasingly incorporating sustainable practices to mitigate their ecological footprint. This study advocates for a hybrid approach that integrates the advantages of both methodologies, suggesting that such an integration can lead to improved project outcomes while promoting sustainability and preserving cultural identity. The research contributes valuable insights for industry stakeholders seeking to balance efficiency and quality in an evolving construction landscape. Future studies are encouraged to explore practical applications of this hybrid model to enhance decision-making in construction projects.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the application of Lean Construction methods in controlling costs and time in high-rise building projects located in urban areas. Lean Construction, which focuses on reducing waste, improving workflows, and enhancing coordination, has proven to be effective in increasing project efficiency. Case studies were conducted on several high-rise projects that implemented Lean principles such as the Last Planner System (LPS), value stream mapping, and daily huddles to identify and address issues related to cost and time. The findings show that the application of Lean Construction resulted in a reduction of project costs by up to 20% and a decrease in project completion time by up to 15%. However, challenges such as resistance to change, lack of training, and the adaptation of Lean methods to the specific challenges of urban environments were identified as barriers that need to be addressed. In conclusion, Lean Construction methods offer an effective approach for managing costs and time in high-rise projects in urban areas, with success dependent on the extent to which Lean principles are comprehensively implemented.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of rice husk ash (RHA) and lime for stabilizing clayey soil, with the aim of improving its properties for road construction applications. The experimental tests, including Atterberg limits, compaction, unconfined compressive strength (UCS), cyclic wetting-drying, and California Bearing Ratio (CBR), were performed on untreated and stabilized soil samples. The results showed that the addition of RHA and lime significantly reduced the plasticity, improved the compaction characteristics, increased the strength, and enhanced the durability of the clayey soil. The optimal mixture, consisting of 10% lime and 10% rice husk ash, exhibited the highest improvement in soil properties, making it suitable for road subgrade and foundation materials. The study highlights the potential of utilizing agricultural waste, such as rice husk ash, in soil stabilization, offering a cost-effective and environmentally sustainable solution for road construction.

Abstract

Microcatchment rainwater harvesting systems offer a promising solution for improving water availability in semi-arid regions, where rainfall is both scarce and irregular. This study investigates the impact of different microcatchment designs on the efficiency of rainwater harvesting in semi-arid environments. The research focused on comparing various microcatchment configurations, including differences in catchment area size, shape, soil type, and the presence of drainage and diversion features. Data collected during the rainy season revealed that larger and concave-shaped microcatchments were significantly more efficient in capturing rainwater compared to smaller or convex designs. Additionally, soil type played a crucial role in determining the infiltration rates and water retention capacity of the systems. The study also assessed evaporation losses and suggested that evaporation control measures, such as shaded or covered storage, could further improve efficiency. Hydrological modeling predicted that optimized microcatchments could increase water collection by 30-40% compared to traditional systems. The findings emphasize the importance of tailoring microcatchment designs to local environmental and economic conditions to enhance both water conservation and agricultural productivity in semi-arid regions.

Abstract

This study investigates the seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) structures with basalt fiber reinforcement (BFRC) using nonlinear pushover analysis. The main objective is to evaluate the effect of basalt fiber reinforcement on the seismic response of RC structures located in earthquake-prone regions. The analysis focuses on key seismic parameters, including base shear, displacement, energy dissipation, and crack propagation. The results show that BFRC structures exhibit significantly enhanced seismic performance compared to conventional RC structures. The BFRC structures demonstrated higher base shear capacity, greater displacement capacity, improved energy dissipation, and better crack resistance. These improvements suggest that basalt fiber reinforcement can effectively enhance the ductility and strength of concrete structures, making them more resilient to seismic forces. The study highlights the potential of BFRC as a sustainable and efficient material for improving the seismic resilience of buildings in high seismic zones.

Abstract

This study explores the use of real-time data from Google Maps and machine learning algorithms to predict traffic congestion in medium-sized urban areas. By applying various machine learning models, including Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Neural Networks, and Random Forests, this research aims to evaluate the accuracy and effectiveness of congestion predictions based on data such as weather conditions, time of day, road type, and special events like accidents or public gatherings. The results indicate that the LSTM model provides the most accurate predictions, with an accuracy rate of 89.4%. The study also identifies key factors influencing congestion, such as time of day, weather conditions, and local events. These findings can be used to improve traffic management in medium-sized cities by employing data-driven prediction systems to reduce congestion and enhance traffic efficiency.
