Abstract

A reinforced mortar type that can be created with a relatively thin thickness is ferrocement. Using ferrocement as a mechanically sound and sustainable building material has produced several benefits, including less use of raw materials, decreased accumulation of waste materials, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Cement as a constituent material of ferrocement is an environmentally unfriendly material; therefore, a more environmentally friendly cement replacement material is needed, namely Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS). Thus, creating sustainable (green) fertilizers is the main goal of this work. There are three primary stages to experimental work: Using slag cement (GGBFS) in place of partial cement of 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% is the initial step. The primary reinforcement in the second level is wire-welded mesh, with volume fractions of support (Vf) of 1.2%, 1.8%, and 2.4%. During the final phase, a maximum of three different test objects were tested for compressive strength, water penetration depth, and flexure at a 28-day age. According to the findings, employing GGBFS led to good mortar performance. According to studies on mortar, the percentage of GGBFS utilized in a work may be determined by comparing the GGBFS substitution rates of 10%, 20%, and 30%, which show no differences in tendency. The test findings did not considerably improve the bending strength and cracking behavior of ferrocement reinforced with wire-welded mesh. One of them is influenced by the age of the concrete; at 28 days, the added material GGBFS has not yet reached its maximum strength, which results in a negligible improvement in bending strength and cracking behavior.

Abstract

Seepage and slope stability are important problems analyzed in geotechnical engineering. Conventionally, the analysis is performed in conditions where the soil is intact. However, near-surface soil is subjected to various conditions that lead to heterogeneity, for example, the presence of cracks in clay, relics in weathered rock, and plant roots. The presence of cracks and other forms of heterogeneity on the near-surface layer increases the rainfall infiltration into the slope and changes the pore water pressure distribution accordingly. Water infiltration increases the pore water pressure, raises groundwater level, and decreases the matrix suction of unsaturated soils - which is a critical factor for the stability of slopes. This study aims to evaluate the effect of varying permeability of near-surface soil on the rainwater infiltration to slope and, subsequently, the safety factor. In this case, the near-surface soil is modeled as a layer with higher permeability. Numerical analysis performed in this study using SEEP/W and SLOPE/W indicated that considering this condition results in a higher safety factor of the slope because the higher permeability resulting from heterogeneity helps dissipate pore water pressure, which is critical in maintaining the slope stability during heavy rainfall.

Abstract

This research showcased the use of leftover trash as a substitute for aggregate in mortar combined with saltwater. The raw waste materials underwent analysis using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) in order to determine the component materials and crystalline phases present. The choice of Portland composite cement (PCC) was made because of its durability in a hostile environment. Seawater is used to combat the water crisis and prevent corrosion, thanks to its exceptional resistance to corrosion. The attributes of mortar were assessed in terms of its fresh characteristics (slump and flow table) as well as its mechanical properties (compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength, density, and shrinkage). The findings indicate that the dried mortar waste is suitable as a patch repair material for a substrate with a strength of 20 MPa, but only when utilized in a maximum quantity of 20% and with a water-to-cement ratio of 0.3. The repaired concrete with a strength of 25 MPa did not need any waste containment and had a maximum water-to-cement ratio (W/C) of 0.3, whether combined with saltwater or tap water. The possible role of the mortar containing the dried waste was to be the species for brick and other non-structural. Additionally, the use of an alternative cementitious substance is suggested to enhance the effectiveness of the patch repair material, particularly when paired with cathodic corrosion protection in damaged concrete

Abstract

Site selection is one of the main activities in technical system planning to achieve the best design and location of the power plant. Improper site selection methods tend to increase the construction cost, create difficulties in securing primary energy sources, and cause inefficient electricity distribution. The earlier civil site selection process using the scoring method adopted by several utility companies still had some disadvantages that required improvement. This study aimed to propose and test a civil site selection method based on the economic Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) that combines Geographical Information System (GIS), Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Value Based Decision (VBD) simultaneously and based on the collaborative assessment of several engineers. The study investigated Kupang GEPP 40 MW with five alternative locations using the Expert Choice 11 tool to determine the weight of the criteria, alternative locations rating, and the weight of the cost estimate based on GIS data. The analysis revealed that only alternative 1 and alternative 5 are considered feasible. Alternative 5, Panaf, emerges as the most favorable site for Kupang GEPP with a value of 7.087. Further research has been suggested to include more detailed data for site selection.

Abstract

One of the main causes of flooding is the disruption of river flow due to silting or narrowing of the river basin. The high volume of water in the rivershed will overflow and cause flooding in the surrounding area of the river. The object of this research is the Tukad Biluk Poh River, a river in the Jembrana district, Bali, which has 28 km long and empties into the Indian Ocean. The study aims to measure a flood water level limit at the river bridge that crosses the National Highway Gilimanuk-Denpasar so flooding on that section can be avoided. This quantitative descriptive research analysis uses the Nakayasu HSS (Synthetic Unit Hydrograph of Nakayasu) method for a while in 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, and 1000 years. Next, a hydraulics analysis to determine the flood water level limit uses the HEC-RAS model and results in MAB heights for a similar period. The research results revealed the height at the pavement section and the bottom of the girder section. At the end of this paper, the height of bridge that needs to be elevated at the bottom of the bridge's upper structure and a guard height for a certain repeat time are discussed. Therefore, it is believed that the research outcome will make an important contribution to the local government in issuing the Tukad Biluk Poh rivershed policy.

Abstract

Various studies and research have been conducted to find alternatives to liquid insulation. One that is considered the most potential is vegetable oil since it has various advantages, including non-toxic, biodegradable, renewable waste products due to reactions in the form of CO2 and water, high flash points, and better thermal characteristics. In this study, Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) was used as the raw material for insulation oil with the addition of an additive in the form of nano-silica, which improves the quality of the insulation oil. As for determining the feasibility of insulation oil, characteristic tests were carried out in the form of density, viscosity, moisture content, acid number, pour point, flash point, and breakdown voltage. Based on the results of the tests, it was obtained that the lowest density in pure oil was 0.8757 g / cm³, the lowest viscosity in oil with the addition of 0.13 wt% nano-silica was 4.0248 cSt, and the lowest acid number in pure oil was 0.5797 mgKOH / g. It was also discovered that the pour point value is the same for each sample, the moisture content is 0.05%, the flashpoint is > 104 °C, and the breakdown voltage is ≥ 60 kV for each sample. The data show that the insulation oil made from POME has the potential to be used as an alternative to insulation oil.

Abstract

Pediatric patients are generally uncooperative during radiology examinations. Radiographic images can become blurry due to movement. This will cause to repeat examinations, thereby significantly increasing radiation exposure, and it can pose significant risks to children, patient families, and radiation workers. The research aims to create and test the effectiveness of a fixation device equipped with Audio-Visual elements for pediatric chest radiography examinations in Anteroposterior and Lateral projections. The experimental method involves developing the fixation device in the Radiodiagnostic Department Laboratory of Poltekkes Kemenkes Jakarta II. The effectiveness of the fixation device is assessed through surveys and interviews involving 66 respondents at hospitals in Jakarta from January to July 2023 during pediatric chest examinations. The average results indicate that the device can be used in hospitals (3.27±0.63), it’s safe to use (3.00±0.74), and highly effective (3.17±0.67). The overall average value of 3.16±0.68, suggests that the fixation device is suitable for use in pediatric chest examinations. The obtained images from the Anteroposterior and Lateral projections optimally describe of lung organs, the heart, and blood vessels within the thoracic cavity. Suggestions for further development of the safe device include the addition of leg supports, pediatric chair can be moved forward/backward and patient restraints to prevent falling or movement

Abstract

A traffic accident is an unexpected and inadvertent road event involving a vehicle with or without other road users that results in human injuries and possibly property damage. This study identifies and analyses the characteristics of Indonesian and Malaysian road traffic incidents. The method used was the identification of crash data coordinates and the Equivalent Accident Number (EAN) score per road segment. Accident characteristics are based on the type of road traffic accident, and collision is the most common type of accident. Speed data of two vehicles, cars and motorcycles, was collected through the test driver method by using the same vehicles for cars and motorcycles and following their normal driving habits. From the analysis results, some factors causing accidents on the Bekasi Narogong Road Section are the lack of traffic signs, road surface conditions, and lack of clear road markings. While on the FT050 Johor federal road, every kilometre per segment and along the segment, motorcycles are faster than cars in terms of speed.

Abstract

The cloud computing sector, including mobile networks has increased in the present time. Because of advanced features and security related information in cloud. So many methods are available for handling these problems. Cloud security, large number of methods existing for provide security. Among that, so many widespread techniques cast-off to protected data in cloud based on Individuality based encryption. This method specialty is allowing only authorized end users for access legal data and avoid smalevolent attack. Individuality -based encryption method follows up the four stages like Name, Key generation, encryption and decryption. Among these Key generation is most important for generating secure key. It provides unbreakable and non-derivable secure keys to provide strong security. This paper provides a novel approach for providing advanced security called identity-based encryption. This approach uses segment of a bitidentity thread in demandto evade seepage of user’s data identity, if any attacker decodes the key also. Statistical reports show that the proposed algorithm takes less time in the process of decryption and encryption compared to other traditional approaches. One more feature of our novel method is skinning the user’s uniqueness by using parametric curve fitting. It contains a polynomial interpolation function.
