ABSTRACT Concrete is one of the main construction materials widely used in infrastructure development due to its high compressive strength and good durability. However, achieving optimal compressive strength typically requires a relatively long curing period, approximately 28 days. To address this limitation, admixtures such as Bestmittel are used to accelerate the hardening process and improv…
ABSTRAK In the implementation of excavation work on the Revitalization of Lake Bakuok project in Kampar Regency, heavy equipment assistance is needed to facilitate the work process, one of which is in excavation and soil transportation. The gradual or relay excavation method causes problems such as high equipment efficiency and fuel consumption so that operational costs increase and the du…
Consuming fast food leads to excessive intake of sugar, salt, and fats. Approximately 69% of urban populations consume fast food, which is a risk factor for dysmenorrhea—lower abdominal pain (symphysis pubis) occurring before and during menstruation. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 50% of women in every country experience dysmenorrhea, leading to disrupted daily activit…

ABSTRACT The CWR-01 AKSI ADB UNRI Integrated Classroom Building contruction project had only reached 70.051% progress by the end of October 2023, while it was supposed to be 100%, resulting in a 29.498% delay. Because of this, it’s important to identify the risk that caused the delay. This study aims to identify potential delay risk using the Item-Level Content Validity Index (i-CVI), and an…
ABSTRACT The increasing development of construction projects has led to a rising demand for concrete. Concrete is a mixture of Portland cement or other hydraulic cements, fine aggregates, coarse aggregates, and water, with or without admixtures. The purpose of adding admixtures is to modify one or more properties of the concrete. Concrete with Type E admixtures (water-reducing and accelerating…
ABSTRACT In the design of multi-story building structures, load distribution is one of the key factors that significantly affects the stability and seismic performance of the building. One common load found on the roofs of high-rise buildings is a water tank. An asymmetrical floor plan, such as an L-shaped layout, can result in the center of mass and the center of rigidity not coinciding, whic…
ABSTRACT The distribution of clean water remains a challenge, especially in rural areas. To address this issue, the government has implemented the PAMSIMAS Program as an alternative solution for providing clean water. However, due to the conventional distribution system being less than optimal, further analysis is conducted through numerical simulations using the EPANET 2.2 software to identif…
