There are over 6,300km of coastlines in the North Maluku province of Indonesia due to tidal waves which originate from the pacific ocean. The waves deposit finely loosed materials and light soil formations on coastlines, therefore causing abrasion. A common example occurred in Toseho, Tidore, and Archipelago districts. Moreover, the local residence has been faced with this challenge for up to thirty years. For this reason, deliberations to construct a dike became significant, although, the soil properties are vulnerable. This reasearch, therefore, compares the empirical calculation to the finite element method (FEM) to ascertain soil foundation capacities. The results showed the safety factor, Fs, for dike height, Hd, of 3.5 m and width bottom, B1, of 12.5m appeared below 2.0 for soil friction s of 10~ 15°, while estimates above 2.0 depicts soil friction s of 20°. Furthermore, the soil stresses beneath the dike were determined empirically at qmax of 5.97 t/m2 and σs of 4.57 t/m2, while FEM evaluated the deformation elastic at 12.5 cm.

The Structural Health Monitoring System on the bridges continue to develop to ensure that the bridge being monitored is in good condition to serve traffic. One of the main bridge's parameter observed is deflection of the bridge. Various methods has been developed to be able to monitor deflection accurately and economically. This study presents a method of determining the maximum deflection of a three-span continuous bridge using rotation data obtained from a tilt meter with linear regression. Initial data were obtained from FEM simulations under various load conditions to obtain the maximum deflection value and the rotations. Furthermore, linear regression was carried out to obtain the relationship between the four rotational data and the maximum deflection. The accuracy of the maximum deflection value is then compared with the results of the analysis using FEM. The accuracy rate obtained in this study is about 93.6%.

Palm Kernel Shell (PKS) is a by-product of the palm oil processing industry that is typically located in areas with very soft soil, particularly in South Kalimantan. It has been extensively studied as a replacement for concrete granular material. Hence, research into the potential use of PKS as a supplement to stabilize soft clay is required. This study aimed to investigate the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of compacted soft clay mixed with PKS. The clay was taken from a location around Banjarmasin. The sizes of PKS were 4.75mm (i.e. sieve No. 4) and 2mm (i.e. sieve No. 10) for CBR and UCS tests, respectively. Based on the dry mass, the clays was mixed with a PKS content of 2.5%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%. The CBR and UCS tests were performed to the compacted specimens. The presence of PKS resulted made it easy in compacting the soft soil and increasing the CBR and UCS of the mixtures. The maximum CBR and UCS were obtained at the highest density (i.e. a PKS content of 2.5%). The values increased 1.5 and 3 times higher for CBR and UCS, respectively, as compared to the soil without PKS.

Bird markets remain part of Jakarta’s cultural interests in the midst of Jakarta’s development path to modernization. It brings us to a time-space imagination where birds were owned and traded to resemble the social status of a person, especially in Javanese traditions. It also, therefore, marks the migration period of Javanese to Jakarta who still retains their tradition and culture in the capital city. Today, several markets even persist in the contestation between the process of space acquisition for bird enthusiasts, the formal grids and regulation of urban development, also endemic animals, and environmental conservation. Although contested, it is suggested that the bird market reflects what Foucault implied about heterotopia. The bird market represents a liminal space of the ideal romantic-traditional society which in reality does not ‘fit’ under the hegemonic urban construct - yet it constructs the way we relate to urban life today. This article seeks through the possibility of exploring ‘this otherness’ the re-positioning of the traditional market in Jakarta today and how it constructs and is re-constructed by the dominant discourse of the city. It is also argued that this memory of a time that the bird market retains cannot be detached from the social networks of bird enthusiasts who are engaged not only in economic activities of selling, buying, or biding but also in chirping contests. Not only the social value, but the bird market also depicts a political-economic logic between traders, contests organizer, competition jury, and the market as to control - boost or suppress the price of birds and promote particular kinds of birds to be included in the competition which often leads to further exploitation of bird in the natural reserve. This paper concludes on how this nexus of the social, political, cultural, and environmental context of the existence of the bird market shapes and re-shapes the city today and how each actor related to it reflects on the tra

Over Dimension Over Load (ODOL) vehicle is claimed to be the cause of a number of fatal accidents and damage to road infrastructure in Indonesia and has become a serious issue for roads and bridges maintenance. Over loaded vehicles can result in damage to the bridge, reduced bridge capacity and can even result in collapse of the bridge. Therefore the characteristics of the actual vehicle load need to be known and compared to the bridge design load according to the bridge design code and standard. In this paper, an analysis is carried out on the actual traffic load data obtained from the measurement results using Weight in Motion (WIM) in Kaligawe, Semarang, Indonesia. Monte Carlo simulation is used to simulate the arrival of the vehicle. The results of vehicle load simulation are then applied to a simple span bridge with a span of 30, 40, 50 m. The bending moment and shear force obtained due to actual load compared to the magnitude of the bending moment and shear by applying Indonesia Bridge Loading Standard. The results show that 43 percent of vehicles are overloaded. The bending moment and shear force caused by actual load is less than the design bending moment and shear force for 30 m, 40 m and 50 m bridge span.

Southeast Sulawesi Province has numbered material sources, used as barrow to meet road infrastructure needs. Nickel slag production was a waste material of the nickel mining manufacture carry on to growth in this province. This research is one of the exertions to use waste nickle mining manufacture by mixing local barrow material. The mixture of materials is expected to meet specification of pavement layer for road constructions. This research uses quarry sirtu material in Nanga-Nanga and Lasolo Villages as foundation layer material. The method used is an experimental method on the form of gradation, compaction of modified proctor and CBR test. The result showed that the barrow material with nickel slag composition to material from Nanga-Nanga was 60:40 and Lasolo 50:50 met the grade specification as B class foundation material. Base on the AASHTO classification, this material mixture was included within the A1 category. According to CBR test result with unsoaked compaction conditions, Lasolo material has a CBR value of 26.83% dan Nanga-Nanga material reaches 61.78%. The mixture of material Lasolo is not good enough to be used as a highway barrow material. Whereas mixture Nanga-Nanga with nickel slag is applicable for highway capping layer material.

The renovation of the St. Yohanes Evangelist Church project located on 197, Melawai Street Kebayoran Baru, Jakarta with a building area about 1480.9 m2 was chosen as a research object because the Church Construction Committee wanted to accelerate the renovation project from 2 years 5 months targeted to 1 year 5 months. This is because the Church of St. John the Evangelist as a place of worship can be immediately used again. The PERT method can be used to manage projects more efficiently and effectively; to be able to know the possibility of accelerating the duration of the project carried out on activities in the critical path and the shortening of the duration of each work on each alternative is equalized. In this study, the critical path compression step of the network using Microsoft Project and the results of the Project Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) method, obtained a probability of 99.88%, so the renovation project of Saint John Evangelist Church can be an accelerated project to 1 year 5 months.

Clean water is one of the most important needs, including for daily drinking, because 70-80% of the human body is water. There are many benefits of consuming adequate drinking water for health. Consuming clean and healthy water is one of the keys to getting a healthy body, because water also plays a role in oxygen transportation throughout the body. To produce clean and healthy water, technological innovations are needed, one of which is to use a nano filter-based device which can reduce solutes, colour, hardness and high metal ions by up to 70%. The purpose of this research is to produce drinking water that is healthy and can be useful in health therapy with nano material-based filters. The resulting water product is drinking water with a pH of 8+. This nano material-based tool has been tested using 3 water samples, namely well water, PDAM water and river water. The results showed that well water with a pH of 8.71, TDS (total dissolved solid) 282 and a test of 4 heavy metals (Pb, Cu, Zn and Cr) were below the threshold and the results after filtering were the most ideal among other water samples and recommended for consumption that can afford for health therapy.
