Abstract

Concrete construction is still the main choice because of its high strength, durability, and ability to withstand heavy loads. In reinforced concrete construction, formwork is a fairly important element. Formwork significantly impacts the efficiency of construction implementation. Formwork innovation has found PERI formwork to be a solution that many consider more efficient. Efficient use of PERI formwork is an important focus to increase productivity, minimize time, and reduce construction costs. This research aims to analyze the quality, cost, and implementation time of PERI formwork compared to conventional formwork in 2-story buildings. Quantitative methods are used to evaluate quality (strength of bending, safe deflection, and strength of the shear) using SAP 2000, implementation time using Microsoft Project, and project costs using unit price analysis. The research results show that using the PERI formwork system can provide various efficiencies in formwork work. PERI formwork has been proven stronger in withstanding loads and meets current load regulations. It can save project implementation time by up to 21 working days (24.7%) with a cost reduction of 4.72%. This is because the installation cycle is faster, which can increase productivity and reduce costs. So, using the PERI system formwork has proven efficient and can be the best choice for low-rise building construction projects.

Abstract

Embankment construction is generally carried out using borrow materials. The water content of embankment material significantly affects the compaction quality. Measuring water content in the field typically uses a speedy moisture test (SMT) because the process is simple, and the result is obtained immediately. The accuracy level of the SMT is relatively high. However, it still needs to be corrected using a calibration chart for a more precise measurement. This research aims to determine the accuracy of the SMT tool compared to the standard oven-dry method, especially on borrow materials in East Java. The experimental method was used with soil samples from Pasuruan and Mojokerto borrow. Standard index properties tests and soil compaction tests were conducted to determine soil type and obtain optimum water content. The water content varies in several levels and is measured using SMT and oven-dry methods. The regression was performed to make a correlation, while RMSE and simple paired T-test were conducted to investigate the accuracy level of the correlation chart from this research, respectively. It was found that the soil samples used met the requirements as embankment soil (SW and SM). The proposed calibration chart is presented with the SMT-corrected water content equation (WSMT-corrected = 0.9815WSMT – 1.4323 ). This equation has a coefficient of determination (R2) equal to 0.95, which mean a very strong relationship. The proposed calibration chart performs well according to RMSE, which is equal to 2.41 and paired T-test result. This proposed calibration chart can be widely used in road embankment practice in Indonesia.

Abstract

Plates have an important function in supporting the structural load above them. One important aspect of plate design is the design of the openings or holes. These openings can be needed for various purposes, such as pipe installation, ventilation, and ducts. If the plate openings are not designed carefully, it will cause serious problems such as excessive deflection. This increases the risk of structural accidents and ultimately threatens the safety of building users. This study aims to determine the effect of plates with different types of supports and opening models with 3D modeling. Quantitative descriptive research using the finite element method was used. There are 16 models with different support types (simply and fixed) and opening models (rectangular, square and circular). From the modeling, the deformation and stress values that occur will be obtained. Comparative analysis is carried out to obtain the best support and opening types. The research results show that the increase in stress concentration tends to be higher in rectangular openings, while in square and circular openings, it is smaller than in plates without openings. Circular shapes tend to have high deformation values. Meanwhile, the square shape has the smallest value compared to all models. Simply support has greater stress in rectangular and circular openings. 4-sided fixed support is the best choice because it has the smallest stress and deformation values. Through these results, it is possible to optimize the design of appropriate types of supports and openings to reduce excess stress and improve overall structural performance.
