Abstract

Rotiklot dam is located in Belu Regency that has the tropic climate, with very short wet season (4-5 months) and a very long dry season (7-8 months). The average monthly rainfall in December – April of approximately 300 – 500 mm/month, while in another month only ranges 30- 60 mm/month. During the rainy season, rainwater will overflow as surface water and collect in the river as a flood toward the sea. The construction of a dam is one alternative to overcome the water needs of the community during the dry season. The Rotiklot dam retains the flow of water in the Motamuru River and its reservoir can accommodate 2.9 million m3. Impounding is a process carried out once a dam has been constructed. It is a comprehensive process involving filling time and water inflow. The purpose of this study was to determine the first filling time and the inflow volume in Rotiklot Reservoir in the years of dry, low, normal and sufficient water using the Tank method. It aimed to simulate the initial filling of the reservoir.  Also, the study is expected to evaluate the most suitable Tank model, with parameters calibrated using the Genetic Algorithm optimization approach. The determination coefficient using a four series tank is 0.531 greater than the coefficient obtained from 3 series tank simulation, which was 0.506. The total inflow volume in Rotiklot Reservoir for dry, low, normal and sufficient were 1.946, 7.289, 9.699, 13.822 million m3 respectively. Based on the calculation result of the inflow volume of the year of the low water, the filling time is around three months, starting from mid-December to mid-March.

Abstract

Morotai Island is designated as one of the National Tourism Strategic Area, and has increased demand for pure water. It is known as a dry area where water is difficult to obtain, and therefore, it is necessary to prepare a supply scheme to meet the island's demand. Hence, this study aims to obtain supply protocol from various available sources, in order to meet all water demands, especially for tourism sector development. The several methods used in this research include demand calculation for domestic, industry, irrigation, livestock, and tourism; rainfall-runoff simulation using Wflow model and estimation of groundwater availability using the baseflow recession method. Furthermore, surface balance shows the water availability in each sub-districts is not able to meet the demands. To overcome this problem, a supply scheme has been prepared, e.g. surface water utilization by constructing free intake in North Morotai, groundwater use by constructing dug and drilled wells in many locations, especially coastal areas, spring water utilization by creating a collection system (broncaptering) in Jaya, East and South Morotai. Furthermore, small islands can utilize springs and shallow dug wells, to prevent seawater intrusion from affecting the quality. The scheme suggests an appropriate infrastructural support to supply local communities, as well as develop the Island to be the new primary tourism center in Indonesia.

Abstract

In order to understand the dynamics of shoreline changes due to natural and anthropogenic causes, it is imperative for a coastal manager to comprehend the shore profile characteristics which are dependent on the sediment-wave interaction and can be depicted in a profile equation. Moreover, it is possible to derive the power form for the profile equation of a sandy coast based on the argument of wave energy dissipation per unit bed area and unit time. By using this same argument and considering the phenomenon that the main cause of wave damping over a muddy coast is due to energy absorption by the soft mud bottom, the mud profile equation can also be formulated. The aim of this study was to observe the mud profile equation geometry using best fitting method and to compare the characteristic features of the mud profiles using the field observation data. Shore profile data were measured from the muddy coast of Pantai Cermin in the eastern coast of North Sumatera Province. The data obtained were fitted to both the sand and mud profile equations. The procedures and results of the two best fitting methods, the nonlinear regression and the least square based trial and error search, were exhibited and compared. Several noteworthy features of the mud profile equation were found to be the same with the sand profile equation in describing the profile data. In order to provide a better profile and shoreline stabilization, it is recommended to use more complete observation data and good knowledge of shore profile by the coastal manager.

Abstract

The history of the water resources development in the world is generally inspired by the physical, climate and socioenvironment conditions such as geographical, culture and civilization at the local level. For many years, humans have spent tremendous efforts and time improving the quality of life through adequate water utilization. This research, therefore, aims to analyze the ancient water-related infrastructures as cultural heritages in creating a functional and adequate design. Data were obtained from the Mataram Canal in Yogyakarta Province which was selected due to the success story and various benefits associated with the Indonesian history of water resources in Central Java provinces. Today, some places along the canal have become tourist destinations, and it is more popular in Yogyakarta due to its architectural history. However, the diversification of water utilization in fishery ponds along the canal and the shift in land utilization from rice field to housings, and government buildings may undermine the function of the canal. The factual condition associated with the periodic decrease in irrigation command does not make the Mataram Canal useless. Therefore, efforts to maintain its function through restoration, and revitalization, can enhance water supply for irrigation and other purposes such as fish ponds and, pollutant dilution. The Strength-Weakness-Opportunity-Threat (SWOT) method with some key performance indicators was adopted to access the necessity of the sustainability program of the Mataram Canal as the heritage infrastructure. Some key performance indicators related to Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) program in Indonesia were introduced and utilized to prioritize the necessary actions. The results showed that the SWOT analysis promotes various actions to support the IWRM-related program of Mataram Canal. Furthermore, the implementation of the promoted actions would contribute to the longer sustainability of the Mataram Canal.

Abstract

Cipunagara is the largest watershed in Subang Regency with River Cipunagara as the mainstream. Previous works showed increased activities around Cipunagara watershed, especially in segment 3, leading to a decline in the water quality. The importance of this river increases due to the development plan of Sadawarna and Cilame Reservoirs, which are used for irrigation and other activities. This study aims to identify pollution sources and to analyze the capacity of Cipunagara River in relation to potential pollution load from the watershed for the next 5 years. The study focuses on livestock, which is one of the main sectors contributing to pollution. The main steps include segment selection, calculation of existing pollutant load and prediction within the next 5 years from livestock waste. The segment selection was based on the number of activities from several sectors, the spatial plan of the region, as well as the quality and quantity Cipunagara River. The calculation of existing pollutant load was based on actual pollutant and flow of the river, while the prediction of pollutant load relied on emission factor of each pollutant parameter. The results showed that pollution index in Cipunagara River was severe. The existing and the projected potential pollutant loads in segment 3 include 1,668.76 kg/day and 2,081.25 kg/day for BOD; 4,053.74 kg/day and 5,063.29 kg/day for COD; 8.72 kg/day and 13.34 kg/day for N-Total; and 1.75 kg/day and 2.16 kg/day for P-Total, respectively. These results can be used by the local governments to manage water quality of the river.

Abstract

Gemolong subdistrict in Sragen Regency of Central Java, Indonesia has a rainfed rice area of 2,047.64 hectares. Water is very limited during the dry season and this usually makes farmers use costly groundwater pumps for irrigation. This means conventional method involving the continuously flooded irrigation combined with chemical fertilizers which are considered water-wasteful and hazardous to the soil is the current practice in the area. However, water saving-irrigation with the addition of organic material has been discovered to be an alternative solution to this problem. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of this method on water productivity using four variations of water-saving irrigation treatment and composition of organic application as well as one control treatment involving conventional method with chemical fertilizers. Meanwhile, composted rice straw was used as organic material and applied at 20% and 40% composition. The results showed the application of organic material boosted rice production while the water-saving method increased water productivity. Applying rice straw to the soil at 20% and 40% was discovered to have increased water productivity by 15% and 19% compared to the control treatment. Moreover, the application of 20% rice straw to water-saving irrigation method saved up to 19% water and increase its productivity by 16.5% in comparison with the control treatment. However, 40% under water-saving irrigation method reduced the water productivity by 2% even though it saved up to 27% water needed for irrigation. It is, therefore, recommended that water-saving methods added with 20% organic material be implemented as alternative rice cultivation procedures during dry season and period of water scarcity.

Abstract

The self-weight of a reinforced concrete beam contributes to the permanent loads of a structure. This can be reduced by creating a longitudinal void along the beam so that it will not affect the performance of the beam. In addition, this process can reduce the amount of building cost. Therefore, a finite element model was developed in this study with the aid of a computer program, Ansys, to investigate the behavior of the hollow beam. The model was tested for reliability by comparing the predicted results with those obtained from the experiment in terms of the load-displacement responses, mechanical properties, and parametric responses. The result showed that the reliability of the model was questionable. The main cause of the non-reliability was the inaccurate prediction of the beam deflection by the model. The poor prediction of beam deflection led to significant variations of relevant mechanical properties including stiffness, deflection, and ductility. For beam deflection, only 1/3 of the specimens were correctly predicted with a reliability of 36% while the strength properties were discovered to have higher values as observed in the yield and the ultimate strengths with 73% and 64% respectively. However, both the model and experimental results showed the hollow beam was relatively effective when the diameter of the longitudinal void was 1/3 times the beam width and placed at the neutral axis. For the evaluation to improve the reliability, some revision including the properties of the materials, boundary conditions of the beam support, bonding conditions between different materials, and meshing shape and size suppose to be applied to the model.

Abstract

Seawater intrusion promotes the degradation of groundwater quality through excessive pumping activities or natural phenomena such as tidal floods which are popular with coastal areas. Pekalongan city is one of the areas affected by this phenomenon and was analyzed in this study with reference to the 1986 Ad Hoc Sea Water Intrusion (PAHIAA) Decree which classifies water into five based on salinity. This involved using the Integrated Distance Method (IDW) to map and applying the logarithmic equation to determine the dispersion relationship. The results showed seawater intrusion has already affected groundwater quality up to 6.52 km from the coastline for total dissolved solids and electrical conductivity and 7.22 km for chloride ion.  The distribution of TDS, EC, and Cl- in the freshwater zone was also recorded to have reached 28.59 km2, 28.36 km2, and 23.95 km2 respectively. It is predicted that in 4 years, there would no longer be freshwater in Padukuhan Kraton Village due to decreasing groundwater quality caused by seawater intrusion. Furthermore, 23.03 km2 Pekalongan area which spread into 4.34 km2 to the West, 0 km2 to the South, 14.39 km2 to the North, and 1.28 km2 to the East of the district has also been affected and was discovered to be caused mainly by tidal flood from Bremi and Tirto rivers.

Abstract

The bond strength between rebar and concrete is important for the quality performance of reinforced concrete structures. At the interface, bond strength development mainly depends on surface configuration. Different rib configuration improves the strength significantly in high yield rebars as compared to mild steel. This study examines the bond strength behavior of ordinary MS (Mild Steel) rebars, HYSD (High Yield Strength Deformed) parallel rib, and HYSD diamond rib rebars. Experimental analysis to obtain pull-out behavior of rebar in concrete was based on IS 2770 Part I – 1967: Reaffirmed 2007; Indian Standard Methods of Testing Bond in Reinforced Concrete. Importantly, the concrete of M30 grade was used and a total of nine specimens were tested. The cubes of size 150mm x 150mm x 150mm were cast with centrally embedded rebar provided up to 20 mm from their bottom faces. Additionally, the pull-out test was conducted in 1000 kN capacity Universal Testing Machine. The usable bond strength values were calculated from the load at 0.025 mm free and 0.25 mm loaded end slips. The results showed that the usable bond strength value of HYSD diamond rib rebars is very large compared to MS and appreciably greater than HYSD parallel rib. Moreover, the usable bond strength of HYSD diamond rib rebars is 60.06% and 35.60 % greater than that of the MS rebars and HYSD parallel rib pattern rebars, respectively. The high frictional resistance developed in the bond strength test of HYSD diamond rib rebars because of the better mechanical interlocking. This was primarily due to the presence of a more frictional surface area of lugs.

Abstract

The emergence of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) at the end of 2019 has transformed from an epidemic to a pandemic disaster. As of 12 April 2020, this outbreak has spread to more than 210 countries and territories and caused 108,837 deaths. The development of this outbreak has resulted in the closure of several major cities in the world (such as Wuhan, Daegu, and Manila) to country-wide lockdowns as observed in Italy and Malaysia. This also affects the construction sector as a labor-intensive industry. Force majeure has become one of the critical points of discussion, considering that this provision allows a contract party to hinder from fulfilling its obligations on the grounds that events are beyond a party’s control. Nevertheless, the application of this provision often faces challenges considering that in prior legal cases, the Courts tend to interpret this clause narrowly. Thus, it would be problematic when the force majeure clause does not include an epidemic outbreak as a force majeure event in the contract. This paper aims to explore the potential of the COVID-19 outbreak as a force majeure event in construction contracts. A qualitative approach consisting of two-step interdependent methods was done to highlight the fundamental elements of force majeure and to analyze whether the COVID-19 outbreak constitutes a force majeure event or not. Finally, a decision model was developed to assist the contracting parties in determining the COVID-19 outbreak potential as a force majeure event. This paper contributes since research related to the impacts of epidemic or pandemic outbreaks on the construction industry has not been intensified.
