axle vehicles with the aim of shortening the distance and travel time from one place to another, as well as an infrastruture that is needed to support development. The design of the Sisingamangaraja – Lubuk Pakam road pavement consisting of a cement concrete slab as a foundation layer and a foundation laver above the subgrade.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the thickness of the pavement using the Highways Method. The research method used is the secondary data collection method. The data collected include traffic data, concrete data, soil data, vehicle axle free data, CBR modulus of subgrade.
Plaanning the thickness of the road pavement concrete slab using the Highways Method obtained 300 mm. A planner is expected to have “felling engineering” supported by extensice knowledge and experience gained in the field.
This research was conducted to analyze the lateral dynamic pressure distribution on the basement walls and amplification of earthquake motion on the surface using the finite element method Midas GTS-NX. Dynamic soil-structure interaction analysis was carried out by using a sensitivity program to influence soil conditions, earthquake acceleration in bedrock, basement depth, bedrock depth and stiffness of the basement structure with a distance between basements of 15,0 m. From this study, the lateral pressure distribution of the dynamic soil reaches the maximum at the base of the basement with an increase in pressure that is almost linear in soft and nonlinear soil conditions in medium and hard soil conditions. The greatest increase in gradient occurs at a depth of four per five basement walls measured from the surface to the bottom of the basement. The analysis shows that the dynamic lateral pressure distribution has a maximum value at the top end of the basement and tends to shrink to the bottom of the basement.
The function of the basement is to carry the weight of the upper structure into the soil and to resist lateral loads around the basement wall. One aspect of geotechnical engineering that often a problem in basement wall planning is the determination of lateral ground pressure in the basement wall due to earthquake which must be held by the basement wall. In this study, an analysis of the effects of local soil conditions due to dynamic loads is done through analysis of soil-structure interaction. The analysis is done by modeling the local soil with variations in basement depth and the adjacent basement distance to get the lateral pressure distribution due to dynamic load. The analyzed soil conditions are considered homogeneous at land sites SE (soft soil) with the dynamic load input from earthquake loads uses a 10% probability of exceedance in 50 years (500 years). The most influential parameter for soil displacement is the distance of the basement and then the depth of the basement. The most influential parameter on lateral forces is the depth of the basement followed by the distance of the basement.
Concrete is a construction material consisting of a mixture of cement, aggregate, water and with or without admixture if needed. Coarse aggregate and fine aggregate serve as the main filler of concrete as well as reinforcement, while the cement and water mixtured serves as a binder between materials. To find out and study the behavior of each of these concrete constituents, it is necessary to know the characteristics of the materials made as constituents of the concrete. This study was conducted with the aim of comparing the most optimum type of coarse aggregate used and the comparison of the use of cement for coarse aggregate of crushed stone and coarse aggregate of gully originating from North Sumatera area, namely from the Wampu River in Binjai City as a concrete mixture to see its effect on compressive strength of concrete at the same concrete characteristics namely f’c 25 MPa. The results of the normal concrete mix design are obtained by using coarse aggregate of crushed stone and coarse aggregate of boulder in different amounts of cement. The coarse aggregate of crushed stone requires more cement with the amount of cement 411.1 kg/m3 than the coarse aggregate of gum with the amount of cement 388.9 kg/cm3.
