Suatu kajian bereksperimen telah dijalankan untuk menentukan kesan paip air hujan tersembunyi di dalam tiang konkrit bertetulang dalam bangunan bertingkat. Sebanyak empat belas tiang telah diuji dalam tujuh set dengan saiz dan tetulang yang berbeza dengan satu paip saliran PVC yang terletak di tengah keratan rentas setiap satunya. Satu kaedah penghampiran penjajaran tiang juga telah dibangunkan dan jajaran tiang yang dibina telah dijalankan sebelum memulakan uji kaji. Kekuatan muktamad yang diperoleh dari uji kaji ini telah dibandingkan dengan kekuatan reka bentuk yang disarankan oleh kod amalan British (BS 8110) dan kod amalan Amerika (ACI). Tiang menunjukkan kemerosotan ketara dalam kapasiti menampung beban dan faktor keselamatan yang didapati adalah jauh lebih kurang daripada nilai nominal yang disarankan oleh kebanyakan kod amalan. Kata kunci: Tiang konkrit bertetulang, kapasiti menampung beban, paip saliran, tegasan, keterikan, faktor keselamatan An experimental study has been carried out to investigate the effect of concealing rain water pipes inside reinforced concrete columns in multistorey buildings. Fourteen columns in seven sets, having different sizes and reinforcement, with a PVC drain pipe positioned at the centre of crosssection of each one of them have been tested. An approximate method of columns’ alignment has also been developed and the alignment of the constructed columns has been carried out before their testing. The ultimate strength of the columns obtained from the present investigation have been compared with the design strengths recommended by the British code of practice (BS 8110) and the American code of practice (ACI). The columns showed significant reduction in their load carrying capacities and the safety factors obtained were much less than the nominal value usually recommended by various codes of practice. Key words: Reinforced concrete column, load carrying capacity, drain pipe, stress, strain, factor of safety
This article aims to describe and interpret the Zapin Arab and Zapin Malay dances. Zapin dance comes from Arabic and developed within the scope of the Malay community. At first the Zapin dance culture was brought by merchants from Gujarat to various regions in the archipelago in the XV century. Zapin dance has a heroic background, because the movement was originally a sense of uplifting the spirit of the companions of the prophet for war. The development of Zapin Arabic and Malay dances are both expressed in the form of performing arts. The problem in this research is focused on the structure of the Malay zapin dance. In order to approach this problem, the structuralism theory reference from Levi Strauss' model is used. Structural theory is applied to describe Malay society. The data were collected through statements and experiences of sources, observation, and document review, then analyzed descriptively qualitatively. Data analysis uses textual and contestual interpretations, namely interpreting denotative and connotative structures. This study concludes that, (1) the Arabic Zapin dance has Arabic cultural content, and (2) the Malay Zapin dance is an Islamic expression of Malay culture.
The UTM’s M.Arch programme revitalized its Design Studio programme, also known as the Architectural Design Thesis (ADT), when it introduced the Thesis Supervisory Panel system in 2013. Developed as an expansion from the preceding 5-year B.Arch and 3+3 Integration programme, the ADT expanded the previous 2-stage final year Design Studio spanning over two semesters into four, introducing the TSP, implementing the vertical studio and allowing students to choose their own paths. The programme was developed from the Workbase system, a hands-on, master-led Design Studio approach influenced by Ecole des Beaux Arts and Bauhaus. The authors intend to tell the story of the programme and its changes throughout the years. This paper records the growth and development of the TSPs in the M.Arch programme, tracing its origin in the Workbase practiced since the 1980s with data collected from the Thesis Coordinator’s files, departmental publications and documentations and have been organized in a simple narrative. By framing the narrative on the back story of the TSPs, the paper offer better understanding on the inner workings of the UTM M.Arch studio programme and encourages improving and strengthening the established system and opens up new studies that could enrich and diversify it further.
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.
