Roads play an important role as a connection between locations and can facilitate the efficient mobility of people's economic activities. Five tests are involved in evaluating of the porous concrete, such as the slump test, compressive strength test, permeability test, flexure test, and load capacity test (loading test). Meanwhile, there are three types of soil: peat, clay, and hard. The compressive strength test measured an average compressive strength between 24.17-27.36 MPa. According to the permeability test, the average speed of water infiltration on the porous concrete rigid pavement was 20 seconds on clay soil and 55.344 seconds on peat soil, with large areas drained on porous concrete rigid pavement of 346.185 cm2 with 5 litres of water used, whereas it was 6.554 seconds with a flow area of 288.75 cm2 and 2 litres of water used on hard soil. The Loading Test was conducted with a 10-ton. The maximum difference in deflection was 1-2 cm. In addition, there were no cracks in the porous concrete rigid pavement with a porous concrete rigid pavement thickness of 15 cm in three different soil conditions. A track with porous concrete rigid pavement on clay, hard soil, or peat soil can accommodate a maximum payload of 10 tons.
One of the methods used to reduce the weight of a construction is by reducing the weight of the walls of the building. In such a case, a wall made of red brick has a volume weight of 1,500–2,000 kg/m3, and concrete masonry bricks made of CLC have a volume weight of 400–1,800 kg/m3. So, in comparison, concrete masonry bricks have a volume weight that is ≤ 50% of that of red brick. In the manufacturing of concrete masonry bricks, one variant is CLC (Cellular Lightweight Concrete), produced using a mixture of cement, sand, chemical admixture and water, with the filler material in the form of air generated as microscale soap bubbles (microbubbles), also known as foam agent. In the manufacturing of concrete masonry bricks, the cement as a binder material clearly affects the physical and mechanical properties of the bricks produced. This research is conducted to investigate the effect of the amount or composition of the cement used on the physical and mechanical properties of concrete masonry bricks. The composition is varied among 200, 250, 300, 350 and 400 kg/m3 of cement usage.
Ketapang Regency's increasing demand for electrical energy could lead to an energy crisis. According to these issues, the Sungai Kinjil and Kinjil Pesisir coastal communities in the Ketapang Regency have wave potential that can be used as energy for marine wave power plants. As a result, The expertise required to evaluate ocean wave resources and determine the output power of electrical energy produced by ocean waves. CEDAS and ArcGIS software is used for wave modeling, with CEDAS input data in the form of wave forecasting from BMKG wind data, bathymetry, and coastline data obtained from the official Indonesia Geospatial website, and primary data in the form of wave electric power measurement data obtained from Wave energy conversion system prototypes. CEDAS processing results show the highest wave height of 0,998 meters at a depth of 1,3 meters. The potential for electrical energy at the research site is 1,908–4,512 kw/m2.
One of the methods used to reduce the weight of a construction is by reducing the weight of the walls of the building. In such a case, a wall made of red brick has a volume weight of 1,500–2,000 kg/m3, and concrete masonry bricks made of CLC have a volume weight of 400–900 kg/m3. So, in comparison, concrete masonry bricks have a volume weight that is ≤ 50% of that of red brick. In the manufacturing of concrete masonry bricks, one variant is CLC (Cellular Lightweight Concrete), produced using a mixture of cement, sand, chemical admixture and water, with the filler material in the form of air generated as microscale soap bubbles (microbubbles), also known as foam agent. In the manufacturing of concrete masonry bricks, the mineral admixture as a filler material clearly affects the physical and mechanical properties of the bricks produced. This research is conducted to investigate the effect of the amount or composition of the mineral admixture (gypsum) on the physical and mechanical properties of concrete masonry bricks. The composition is varied among 15 kg/m3, 30 kg/m3, 60 kg/m3, 75 kg/m3 and 120 kg/m3 of gypsum in the making of CLC masonry concrete brick.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
