Kualanamu International Airport is located in Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra Province. The development of air transport movements at this airport indicates that the passenger terminal facilities which have an existing area of 118,930 m2 with a capacity of 8.9 million passengers per year are no longer able to accommodate the existing passenger volume. This can be seen from the increase in t…
Traffic congestion is a common issue in urban road traffic, and the resulting traffic jams adversely affect road users. Congestion occurs when traffic approaches the road capacity. HR Soebrantas Road is a collector road connecting the city of Pekanbaru and Kampar Regency. This road has four lanes, two in each direction (4/2)D, and holds the status of a provincial road. Each segment of the road …
In Indonesia, industrial waste such as elastic rubber powder from used vehicle tires and fly ash from power plant waste can be used in construction. Fly ash is a geopolymer substance or alternative adhesive that can be used in place of cement in mortar mixtures. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of silicate modulus (Ms) variation on the resistance of hybrid fly ash geopolymer …
Concrete is a material that has high strength to withstand loads. One of the uses of concrete in the construction field is as a road pavement which is often called rigid pavement. Rigid pavement is brittle so it cannot withstand large tensile loads, so it requires rubber crumb as an added material. Waste rubber crumb from used tires has good benefits for concrete to increase the strength of con…
Eggshell is a type of solid waste that is mostly produced from the food industry. Eggshell ash produced through the combustion process at 900oC will produce a CaO content of 44.4% so that it has the potential to be a substitute for lime in making cement. This study aims to assess the maximum compressive strength, UPV, tensile strength and shrinkage of concrete with cement substitution using egg…
Eggshells are a waste that is generated in large quantities. In fact, eggshells have potential as a sustainable material in construction because they contain calcium carbonate which can increase the strength of concrete and reduce the use of cement. However, eggshells also have disadvantages, especially in terms of impermeability to water and aggressive substances. These weaknesses can be compe…
The utilization of waste rubber and waste fly ash as basic materials in the manufacture of materials is an effort made to mitigate negative impacts on the environment. Rubber powder waste that is elastic and resistant to high temperatures is derived from old vehicle tire waste. Fly ash from PLTU waste is one of the geopolymer materials or alternative adhesive to replace cement. Both wastes can …
Excavators are construction machines comprising an Upperstructure, including a cab, boom, arm, and rotating bucket. The Upperstructure is supported by an undercarriage consisting of tracks or wheels. The Hydraulic and Pneumatic Laboratory of the Mechanical Engineering Faculty at the University of Riau has developed an excavator model using a pneumatic system and a 12V battery controlled by a wi…
Currently, the availability of fossil fuels in nature is very limited and new energy alternatives must be found. One of the newest innovations that is being widely developed is electric cars. Riau University also participated in innovation by designing an electric car called Narasinga. After the design is carried out, it is necessary to analyze the performance of this vehicle so that it operate…
This research supposed to identify and optimize activities of sheeter machine repair at the converting 1 Finishing Departmnet PT. Riau Andalan pulp and paper by applying the maintenance value stream mapping and autonomous maintenance methods. This research methodology uses sheeter machine breakdown and downtime data in range May 2023 to June 2023. Then, maintenance value stream mapping analysis…
River water resources are developed as an effort to support human life by providing and utilizing water. In practice, planning the development of water resources in a watershed (DAS) requires field discharge data as the main data. However, discharge measurement data in the field is generally limited and the most common data is rainfall data. Therefore it is necessary to transform rainfall data…
The Waduk Buatan built by the government in the 80s is a reservoir for the Ambang and Merbau watersheds located in Lembah Sari Village, Rumbai Pesisir District, Pekanbaru City, which was initially used as a source of irrigation water for the surrounding area's rice fields, which was later converted into a PDAM raw water source. The basic contour of The Waduk Buatan is needed to determine the ma…
The development of construction needs to pay attention to the condition of the subgrade so that it can carry the load above it. Peat soil is known to have high moisture content, organic content and pore number. Therefore, it needs to be stabilized before being used as a subgrade. Microbial-induced calcium carbonate (CaCO3) precipitation is an environmentally friendly soil improvement that can …
Mandau District is the largest economic and market center in Bengkalis Regency. Buying and selling activities in the Mandau Market area cause crowds of people shopping, thus affecting the level of service for pedestrian facilities. This research aims to determine the characteristics and level of service of pedestrian facilities in the Mandau Market area. This level of service refers to Minister…
Peat soil has low strength, high compressibility, and high moisture content. Therefore, peat soil must be stabilized so that it can be used as a base for construction. MICP is an environmentally friendly soil stabilization method using bacteria. The bacteria will produce calcium carbonate that will fill the space between the peat soil voids. The use of sand as an additive is considered to impro…
The ratification of Law No. 17 of 2019 about water resources confirms that the state guarantees the sustainability of the function of water and water sources which includes prevention, mitigation and restoration efforts. hydraulic structures, one of which is the Pulau Dompak reservoir which is in the Bukit Bestari District area of Tanjung Pinang City. Therefore, the performance of reservoir is …
Tribology is the science that focuses on friction, wear, and lubrication of surfaces interacting in relative motion. Lubrication is an effective way to minimize friction and wear. To reduce the use of environmentally unfriendly mineral oil-based lubricants, alternative lubricant sources, such as vegetable oils, are being explored. One commonly studied vegetable oil in current research is palm o…
High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is a chemical compound with the molecular formula (-CH2-CH2-)n. HDPE has slightly opaque characteristics and is transparent and elastic. This chemical has a melting point above 127°C at 1 atm pressure. One of the processes that can be used in synthesizing HDPE is the CX-Mitsui process with Ziegler-Natta catalyst which operates at a pressure of 0.2-0.7 MPa and a…
