Abstract

The construction industry plays a significant role in the country, while project delays cause various problems. Regarding that, communication is very influential on the project performance, especially time performance. This study aims to identify the factors that affect project communications, identify the effect of project communications management on project time performance, and analyze project communications management strategies for improving time performance. The calculation of the Relative Importance Index was carried out to determine the factors that affect project communications. Meanwhile, a simple linear regression analysis was carried out to find out the magnitude of the effect of project communications management on project time performance. The project communications management strategy was obtained by mapping stakeholders using the power/interest grid method. The data was collected based on observations and the results of questionnaires filled out by 38 respondents, consisting of the owner, supervisor consultant, and contractor on the design-build project used as a case study. The results showed the top 10 factors influencing project communications with the highest Relative Importance Index value. The simple linear regression analysis result showed that project communications management has a positive and significant effect on project time performance with a coefficient of determination value of 69.6%. The suggested project communications management strategy is to optimize the application of the main factors of project communications, tailored to the result of the power/interest grid for each project stakeholder.

Abstract

The strength of the building structure after a fire is determined by the length of time the fire takes place and the cooling process used. According to several previous studies, it is said that the longer the concrete burns, the lower the quality of the concrete will be. This study aims to observe the compressive strength of concrete after the combustion process by cooling through experimental trials on 21 samples of cube model concrete. The concrete sample consisted of three samples of normal concrete and 18 samples of concrete that would be given combustion treatment and the quality of the design concrete was K250. Three samples of normal concrete were tested at the age of 14 days, then 18 samples were prepared for the combustion process with normal fire. A total of nine samples of concrete were treated with combustion for one hour, two hours and three hours with normal cooling in the open air as many as three samples each. Meanwhile, nine other concrete samples that had undergone combustion were given cooling treatment by sprinkling with water. The average compressive strength of concrete with a duration of one hour, two hours and three hours without water cooling respectively is 320.05 kg/cm2, 285.65 kg/cm2 and 235.21 kg/cm2, with the percentage of decrease in the quality of concrete to normal concrete respectively is 9%, 19%, and 33%. Meanwhile, the average compressive strength of concrete with water cooling for the same duration of combustion is 295.72 kg/cm2, 245.34 kg/cm2 and 210.17 kg/cm2, with the percentage of decrease in the quality of concrete to normal concrete respectively is 16%, 30%, and 40%. Based on the results of this study, the duration of combustion and the cooling treatment used can reduce the quality of concrete compared to normal concrete.

Abstract

The development of water treatment and water resources considers the flow rate adjusted using a weir. Weir is designed with many hydraulic factors, including the coefficient of discharge (Cd). Characteristics of the value of Cd show a decreasing trend on triangular and rectangular weirs. The value of Cd varies based on the flow's characteristics and the channel's geometry. Estimation of the best Cd value in flow discharge engineering and sediment deposition is necessary to know the accuracy of weir geometry. Some plans in water treatment and water resource building sometimes assume a Cd value based on literature. This study aims to estimate the value of Cd based on variations in flow rate and was conducted on a laboratory scale with weir shape limitations in the form of triangles and rectangles. The water sample was discharged by a water pump into an open channel. The angle of the weir opening was determined for the rectangular and triangular weir of 90°. Flow monitoring included flow discharge through the use of a current meter. Water was recycled in each measurement with a total of 60 cycles. The Cd values in a triangular weir were greater than in a rectangular weir. The Cd values for the rectangular weir ranged from 0.068 to 0.089, while the Cd values for the triangular weir ranged from 0.557 to 0.598. This value indicated that the greater the flow rate, the lower the Cd value. Therefore, weir configuration of water discharged using a triangular weir was better than a rectangular weir at low flow rates, less than 0.05 m3/s.

Abstract

Finishing is the final work in the building work element. A delicate and neat finish can describe the status of the building as well as provide a liven up the space. The quality of the finish depends on the finishing method and the tools used while doing the finishing. One of the finishing works is plastering the ceiling. Plastering the ceiling is a way to cover the surface using cement plaster, lime plaster or gypsum. Plastering the ceiling aims to cover defects on the original surface of a ceiling in order to highlight the tidiness and provide protection to the ceiling. The initial surveys obtained by the Department of Public Work (PWD) and construction workers at Taman Merlimau Emas Seksyen 1 , it’s found that the problem faced by theirs non-ergonomic ceiling plastering work. This is because this work requires the process of taking mixed plaster from the mixing bucket as well as the process of levelling the plaster on the ceiling by using existing tools repeatedly which can lead to the risk of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs). The objective is to innovate Ceiling Plaster Gun. Secondly, to measure the suitability of the product from the aspect of time taken during ceiling plastering, layer of plaster layer and product design. The effectiveness of this product is to ensure whether this product can be used in the long term or not. Therefore, the tests carried out to measure the effectiveness by comparing existing tools and our products are by conducting on-site tests. In addition, a questionnaire was also conducted to construction workers who use our products to test the effectiveness of the Ceiling Plaster Gun. Overall, the existing plaster tools have a lack of effectiveness compared to the Ceiling Plaster Gun which is able to reduce the risk of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs).

Abstract

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a technological tool used in the sustainable construction process, beginning with the planning phase and continuing through the construction and post-construction phases. BIM has excellent capabilities and is being adopted by construction service providers in the process of implementing sustainable construction. However, many barriers remain in the adoption process, particularly with regard to the intention to use it. The purpose of this study was to determine the intention to implement BIM based on the variables of benefits and barriers. In order to parse the phenomena that occur in research, this study employed a quantitative method. Survey data in the form of a questionnaire were collected from the Special Region of Yogyakarta using a purposive sampling method for this study. Questionnaires were distributed via Google Form to respondents from the construction sector (Civil & Architectural Engineering) and BIM application users (students, workers). The findings of this study have provided an overview of the challenges and benefits of implementing BIM in sustainable construction. The barriers presented are financial, technological, and policy barriers, depending on the company's classification, while the benefits presented are environmental benefits and innovation.

Abstract

The objective of this research was to improve the bearing capacity of the soil located on Kampung Juhut Street, Pandeglang Regency, which initially had a bearing capacity of 3.01%, through stabilization methods. The plastic powder was selected as an additive due to its non-cohesive characteristics, which counterbalance the cohesive nature of clay soil. The study aimed to identify the soil type and classification, evaluate the impact of soil physical properties, and examine the changes in unconfined compressive strength after incorporating plastic powder in proportions of 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, and 10%, with curing durations ranging from 0 to 28 days. The results indicated that the soil belonged to the category of organic clay soils with moderate to high plasticity according to the USCS soil classification system. The plasticity index decreased from 22.9% to 12.2% at the 8% variation and 11.9% at the 10% variation. The initial unconfined compressive strength of the soil was 1.1 kg/cm2. The greatest improvement was observed at the 8% variation, resulting in an unconfined compressive strength value of 3.4 kg/cm2, indicating a highly rigid consistency.

Abstract

Delays in road and bridge construction projects pose significant challenges within the construction industry. These delays can be attributed to various risk factors that have the potential to disrupt project timelines. This study focuses on identifying the risk factors that contribute to delays in road and bridge construction projects in the Pemalang district. A comprehensive review of relevant literature was conducted to identify these risk factors, which were then incorporated into questionnaires distributed among contractors, owners, and consultants. The questionnaire data was analyzed using the mean score ranking method, along with validity and reliability tests, and descriptive statistical analysis facilitated by the SPSS program. The research findings unveiled a total of 54 risk factors categorized into 11 distinct categories. Among these, the top 10 causes of delays in road and bridge construction projects in the Pemalang district were identified based on mean values ranging from 4.18 to 4.57. These factors encompassed issues such as shortages of construction materials (4.57), delays in goods delivery (4.48), equipment delivery delays (4.40), difficulties in contractor funding (4.37), inadequate workforce or inability to meet project demands (4.37), rainfall intensity (4.35), poor material quality (4.30), ordering time inaccuracies (4.27), insufficient skilled labor (4.23), and equipment damage (4.18). Furthermore, interviews were conducted with experts to discuss the 10 risk factors with the highest impact. Strategies to mitigate these risks were derived from these discussions. The outcomes of this research are anticipated to provide valuable insights for stakeholders involved in the planning and execution of road and bridge construction projects. By understanding the underlying risk factors and implementing the recommended strategies, it is expected that project delays can be significantly reduced in future endeavors.

Abstract

Travel expenses are a significant factor in transportation planning. In addition to the other aspect, travel time, the community considers expense as the necessary element in deciding which mode the communities should take. However, there is a gap between the actual transport expense and the commuter's perception. Thus, comprehensive knowledge is urgently needed particularly to be seen as a major variable in transportation planning that sided with underprivileged groups of transport poverty. The study focused on describing the correlation between income and commuting transportation expenses. The analysis was carried out using two methods. The first method is a descriptive analysis used to provide insight into the patterns and characteristics of the data obtained from interviews with 421 respondents. The second method is regression analysis (linear and nonlinear) to explain the relation pattern between the dependent (commuting transportation expenses) and independent (income) variables. The study's findings demonstrate that transportation expenses follow a negative polynomial regression pattern on income, further implying that the percentage of transportation expenses in low-income communities is significantly higher than those in high-income communities.

Abstract

This study aims to provide an alternative soil improvement that can be applied in the Petobo area, which experienced liquefaction on September 29, 2018. Ferronickel slag is utilized as a binding agent. Furthermore, large concentrations of alkaline solutions (potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide) are utilized as activators to activate kaolin and initiate the geopolymer production process. From the test results, it can be concluded that sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide solutions are effective to be applied as an alkaline solution. The maximum unconfined compressive strength of the sample is about 530 kPa with a concentration of 10% of ferronickel slag and 10M of alkaline activator. This value is twice larger than if we applied cement to the soil with the same amount of concentration. Hence, the effect of the admixture of ferronickel slag and alkaline activator is more dominant than the admixture of cement only. Furthermore, the Scanning Electron Microscope and X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometer tests were also carried out to investigate the chemical bonds that occurred in the samples. It is revealed that the geopolymer matrix envelops soil particles resulting from the geopolymer reaction. The composition of SiO2 and Al2O3 in the treated Petobo silty sand decreased. It might be due to the geopolymer reaction that occurs in the sample so that the content of SiO2 and Al2O3 compounds is reduced. Because it uses an activator in the form of a KOH and NaOH solution, there is an increase in the levels of MgO compounds in the sample compared to untreated Petobo silty sand.
