The purpose of this research was to get the best treatment addition of microorganisms B-DECO3 as a reducing agent contamination of waste pollution palm factory with the addition of microalgae Chlorella sp. This research used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD)with 5 treatments and 3 replications. The treatment used against waste pollution palm factory was P0 (without addition of B-DECO3 microorganisms), P1 (addition 5ml/L of B-DECO3 microorganisms), P2 (addition 10 ml/L of B-DECO3 microorganisms), P3 (addition 15ml/L of B-DECO3 microorganisms), P4 (addition 20 ml/L of B-DECO3 microorganisms). The data obtained were analyzed statistically using Anova and DNMRT at 5 % level. The result showed that the addition of microorganism B-DECO3 had significant affect for COD, BOD, TSS, oil, and pH. The treatment chosen from the result of this research was the P4 treatment which had a value of COD (330,63 mg/L), BOD (94,53 mg/L), TSS (266,46 mg/L), Oil (2,50) and pH (8,64).
A vertical irregularity setback in reinforced concrete (RC) building affects its performance and response especially subjected to earthquake ground motions. It is necessary to understand how the seismic damage is established due to setbacks and avoid damage concentration on the irregularity section. The objective of this study is to propose a formula to estimate the damage distribution along the height of the setback building from a geometric measure of the degree of irregularity. First, previous experimental tests for two types of setback buildings, a towered and a stepped setback frames, were analyzed to verify the accuracy of the frame analysis. The results of the frame analysis considerably matched the experimental test results. Furthermore, to study the relationship between the degree of setback and the distribution of damage, a parametric study was conducted using 35 reinforced concrete setback frames, consisting of models with stepped setback type and towered setback type with different degrees of setback. The inelastic dynamic analyses of all the frames under three earthquake ground motions were conducted. The irregularity indices proposed in literature were adopted to express the degree of setback and the structural damage was expressed by the Park–Ang damage index. Using nonlinear regression analysis, formulas to estimate damage index ratio between two main structure parts (tower and base) from setback indices were proposed. Finally, the proposed formula was applied to the experimental test results to confirm its validity.
Castellated steel beam is a beam with a regular section cut into half with a particular pattern and regrouped with welding to increase its height compared to the original. This structure element has been developed in building constructions since many years ago. However, its uniform section along the span will make the modification no longer effective in cantilever structure, unless it has additional adaptation. Therefore, in this study, it is proposed to use a castellated steel beam with a tapered shape to be applied as cantilever structures. A steel beam with IWF section 150x75x5x7 is the primary sample type in this research. Some variations were made such as openings angle for 450 and 500, openings space for 50 mm, 70 mm, and 90 mm, openings diameter for 50 mm, 75 mm, and 100 mm, and span length for 2 m, 2.5 m, 3 m, and 3.5 m. Two open-source software namely FreeCAD and LisaFEA were used to draw solid 3-dimensional samples and to conduct the numerical analysis to determine stress and deformation respectively. From the result, it is known that the smallest stresses and deformations can be achieved by a different angle of openings, openings space, and diameter for each span length.
Periodical seismic safety evaluation for concrete buildings are necessary since they have been used for many years. Many approaches can be used to evaluate them, one of them is pushover analysis. This analysis is performed by applying incremental loads then reading the displacement that happen and comparing it to the response spectra demand to retrieve the performance point. Moreover, time history records can be used to determine the displacement appear in structure. This study aims to perform 3D evaluation of reinforced concrete buildings. The building sample was selected from academic building in Yogyakarta, Indonesia which has 7 storeys. The analysis was performed using STERA 3D software. Three timehistory records namely El Centro, Kobe, and Parkfield earthquakes were used to determine the displacement. The result shows the performance level of the building and the displacement resulted from inputting time history, compared to the displacement limit from ATC-40 and FEMA 356. The result shows that the preliminary performance level indicated with spectral displacement is achieved at 13 cm on pushover analysis which complies the 0.01 height limitation from ATC-40 and FEMA 356. Since it is a preliminary study, it is hoped that further study could consider more aspects such as ductility, prediction of failure positions, and comprehensive pushover analysis based on FEMA 356.
