Abstract

The impact of flooding requires innovative solutions for enhancing flood preparedness and reducing societal and economic losses. This study explores the potential of digital twin technology as an innovative tool for flood predictions, enabling real-time monitoring and data integration, contributing to developing more resilient communities and reducing flood risks. This study aims to enhance coastal flood resilience in Malaysia by examining challenges and strategies by applying digital twin technology. The objectives of the study are (1) to identify issues and countermeasures of flood in coastal areas (2) to compare the most relevant issues and countermeasures of flood in the coastal area for different organizations for application in digital twin technology and (3) to analyses the interrelationship among organization for application in digital twin technology in Malaysia. The survey gathered collaboration data from 122 participants, comprising clients, consultants, and contractors. Finally, the data were analysed using each criterion's mean score ranking, normalization techniques, Kruskal-Wallis's, spearman correlation, and overlap analysis. The top 4 critical issues are F05, F07, F06, and F02. The high cost of implementation due to the increased amount of sensor and computational resources needed is considered the most critical. While for the top 3 countermeasures are S04, S06, and S07. Improved planning and prediction for floods are considered the highest rank among the countermeasures. The findings of this study will provide practical insights for organizational practitioners in identifying critical elements and countermeasures when implementing digital twin technology in Malaysia. Future industry studies can build on the strong foundation laid by this research, deepening the understanding of digital twin applications in flood management and risk reduction.

Abstract

Waste management is increasingly crucial worldwide, and integrating agro-waste into pavement construction offers a promising approach for sustainability and enhanced material properties. This research investigates the use of wood ash as a filler in asphalt mixtures, using varying proportions of 0%, 2%, 4%, and 6% replacement by weight of asphalt. Experimental tests, including softening point, penetration, Marshall stability and flow, indirect tensile strength, and abrasion loss, were conducted to assess the influence of wood ash on asphalt mixture properties. The findings reveal that wood ash can improve certain performance aspects such as stiffness and density at an optimal content of 4%, balancing tensile strength and flow properties. However, higher wood ash percentages negatively affected the mixture's overall durability and stability. These results underscore the importance of optimizing wood ash content to enhance asphalt performance. This study demonstrates that wood ash is a sustainable alternative to conventional fillers in asphalt production, contributing to environmental conservation and waste management. Further research is recommended to explore various aggregate gradations, binder types, and the potential of wood ash as an asphalt modifier for quality improvement. Such studies are vital for advancing pavement technology, improving infrastructure quality, and addressing environmental challenges.

Abstract

Coconut is extensively utilized in everyday existence, with around 3.18 million tonnes of waste, including grated coconut, being generated. Utilizing grated coconut waste as an ingredient in bitumen could alleviate the challenges encountered by environmental authorities. This study aimed to examine the impact of grated coconut waste on the characteristics of bitumen and evaluate its performance in the bitumen mixture. A mixture of bitumen 60/70 penetration grade and grated coconut waste was created, with varying percentages of 0%, 1%, 2%, and 3%. The mechanical qualities of grated coconut waste as a bitumen modifier were assessed using several tests, including the indirect tensile strength test and the Marshall stability test. The physical and mechanical characteristics of grated coconut waste as a modifier for bitumen were assessed utilizing tests for softening point test and penetration test. Based on this study, the findings for physical properties of penetration and softening point test, the used up until 3% grated coconut waste can give effect to the bitumen stiffness. One of the more significant findings to emerge from this study is that higher stability and tensile strength of 1% grated coconut waste at 10420 N and 271 kPa, respectively. In conclusion, the used of 1% grated coconut waste as a bitumen modifier resulted the positive effect to the physical properties and mechanical properties of the bitumen mixture.

Abstract

The rising flash floods disrupt communities, damage infrastructure, and strain economic resources, highlighting the urgent need for effective flood management strategies. This study examines the causes and impact of flash floods in Malaysia to provide a holistic understanding and actionable insights for flood risk management. A comprehensive content analysis was performed from 2013 to 2023, utilizing scholarly articles, governmental reports, and newspaper data. The research identifies key causes contributing to flash flood vulnerability, including inadequate drainage systems, rapid urbaniza-tion, reclamation projects, developer negligence, and insufficient urban planning as specific activities associated with new development projects. These activities disrupt natural water flows, increasing runoff and flood risks. The analysis indicates that flash floods disrupt daily life and economic activities, such as the construction industry, leading to project delays and in-creased costs. This research contributes significantly to flood risk manage-ment by highlighting the importance of integrating resilient design tech-niques, enhanced coordination among local authorities, enforcing stricter regulations, and promoting sustainable development practices. It provides a foundation for future research and policymaking aimed at reducing flash flood vulnerability. The findings recommend future of flood management lies in breaking down silos between engineering, planning, and environmen-tal management, ensuring that guidelines such as MASMA, NPP, and the USMM work in unison toward a common goal of flood resilience.
