Appropriate trust and leadership have been frequently cited as key answer to the problems of cooperation and coordination in contractor’s teamwork. The objectives of this paper are to measure trust level of construction projects team, to investigate trustworthy leadership behavior of project managers, and to model the influence of project managers’ trustworthy leadership behavior upon team trust level. Sixty-one respondents from nine on-going construction projects participated in the questionnaire survey. The analyses show that in general the levels of trust and project managers’ trustworthy leadership behavior are medium (scores of 82.71 and 102.09 respectively). Meanwhile the positive influence of project managers’ trustworthy leadership behavior upon team trust level, modeled through multiple regression analysis with one dependent variable (i.e. trust) and three independent variables (i.e. leadership-results, leadership-integrity, and leadership-concern), is found to be significant. The model is evaluated and validated; the results reveal that the prediction of the model is satisfactory.

Billet scales are by-products from steel rolling mills in Nigeria that presently constitute environmental pollution. This paper reports studies carried out using these solid wastes as a partial replacement for sand in the production of concrete. Various percentages of billet scales were used in a concrete mixture of 1: 2: 4 by weight to cast concrete specimens. The compressive and tensile strengths developed were tested after 7, 14, 21, and 28 days of curing. The result of the compressive and splitting tensile strengths tests indicated that concrete strength increased with curing age. The compressive strength of 0%, and 15% replacement of sand with billet scales as obtained at 28 days are 26.0N/mm2, 26.2N/mm2. 15% optimal replacement of sand with billet scales had similar results as the control mixture of 0%, which could be used in reinforced concrete structures. Other replacements could be useful as mass concrete for non-structural construction applications.

The implementation of safety riding in Surabaya in 2006 featuring some actions including canalization (kanalisasi), daytime headlamp rule, safety belt rule and the standardized helmet are viewed by some as not suitable with the existing condition. Canalization causes unfairness among road users. The canalization lane, mandatory for vehicle such as motorcycle and public transit (bus and mikrolet) tends to suffer bigger degree of saturation compared to the others. Not to mention the indication of overuse of battery and shorter bulbs life time due to the daytime headlamp rule application. Although the evaluation of the safety riding campaign covers several aspects, this paper only discuss the responses of road users to safety riding campaign especially canalization and daytime headlamp rule. The data collecting process is carried out by distributing 332 questionnaires to all road users including motorcyclists, car drivers and public transit users. The instant responses are also collected and summarized from several websites. Furthermore, the descriptive and inference statistical analysis are deployed to give the common view of response of road users as well as tabulate the summary of website-posted response. The results show that, generally most of road users support the safety riding campaign. On the contrary, most of road users agree that the daytime headlamp rule did consume more both battery and bulbs. Meanwhile, the website-posted responses varies between agree and disagree with their own reasons.

This paper presents a site-specific seismic hazard study to determine the recommended seismic design criteria for Suramadu Bridge. The study is performed using probabilistic seismic hazard approach to determine maximum acceleration and response spectra at bedrock and followed by local site effect analysis to determine maximum acceleration and response spectra at ground surface. The probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) is carried out using 3-dimension (3-D) seismic source models (fault source model). Two hazard levels are analysed to represent 150 and 3,300 years return period of ground motion around site location. The local site effect analysis is performed using 1-dimension (1-D) shear wave propagation theory to obtain peak ground acceleration and response spectra at ground surface. Finally, the site-specific surface response spectra with 5 percent damping are developed based on the mean plus one standard deviation concept from the result of local site effect analysis.

is paper presents the comparison of engineering properties between single and double layer porous asphalt (SLPA and DLPA) made of packing gradation. Three nominal maximum aggregate sizes (NMAS) were tested each made up of 10, 14, and 20 mm for SLPA. While for the DLPA with 30, 20, and 15 mm top layer are made of 10 and 14 mm NMAS, with a base layer of 20 mm NMAS. Total thickness of all mixes is 70 mm. Binders used are 60/70 penetration base bitumen and polymer binder styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS). The result shows that the properties of SLPA mix namely permeability and resistance to abrasion loss decreases when the NMAS in SLPA decreases. The abrasion loss of DLPA mixes increases when the porous asphalt top layer thickness decreases, while drainage time value decreases. However, SLPA with 20 mm NMAS exhibits higher abrasion loss compared to all DLPA mixes.

The objective of this research was to examine and to quantify the stability of mixed grain sediment beds previously exposed to different time length of uniform antecedent flow hydrograph. The assessment of bed stability was carried out based on the observation of temporal pattern of eroded sediment during two identical stability tests with time varying flow and higher peak discharge. This was linked to the movement of individual sediment fractions to obtain fractional critical shear stress in a bimodal sediment mixture. The stability tests suggest a considerable increased in the stability of individual grain. Longer exposure time by antecedent flow clearly had an influence in the increasing stability of the bed. The increased rate of fractional critical shear stress during stability tests varied between 16 % and 35 % in the coarse mode whilst in the fine mode the rate of increase varied between 27 % and 39 %.

A meshless local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method that employs polygonal sub-domains constructed from several triangular patches rather than the typically used circular sub-domains is presented. Moving least-squares approximation is used to construct the trial displacements and linear, Lagrange interpolation functions are used to construct the test functions. An adaptive technique to improve the accuracy of approximate solutions is developed to minimize the computational cost. Variable domain of influence (VDOI) and effective stress gradient indicator (EK) for local error assessment are the focus of this study. Several numerical examples are presented to verify the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed adaptive MLPG method. The results show that the proposed adaptive technique performs as expected that is refining the problem domain in area with high stress concentration in which higher accuracy is commonly required.

The effect of loading on the chloride penetration into plain concrete (PC) and fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) was studied experimentally by using modified NT Build 492 – Non-steady state chloride migration test that include the application of loading on the specimen during the test. Three types of polypropylene fibers with different lengths and shapes were used. The concretes were tested for chloride penetration at different stress ratios under static and cyclic loading. The results of the static loading showed that there was a slight reduction in the chloride penetration under low level of compressive stress while an increase in the chloride penetration was found at higher stress level. There are significance difference in chloride penetration behavior of the plain concrete, long fiber FRC and short fiber FRC. Chloride penetration increased even more at cyclic loading conditions showing difference behavior of FRC and PC at difference number of cycle and load level.
