A 5-storey portable steel tower based on prefabricated frame concept has been built in Jamilus Research Centre, UTHM. It is now undergoing laboratory testing for static and dynamic performance. In this study, the mechanical properties of the connections were investigated via their connection condition between elements (beam and column) and connectors. The frame elements were designed based on S275 steel grade of 77 mm x 77 mm hollow section with 3 mm thickness, and 8 mm thickness of connectors' plate. The connection was subjected to single shear plane action which fastened by bolts. Mild steel (grade 4.6) and high tension (grade 8.8) bolts with 10 mm diameter size were used. Shear, bearing and tensile strengths of the bolts and steel plates were determined via tension testing using 50 tonnes of Universal Testing Machine (UTM). From the results, all bolts and steel plates have satisfied the design strengths requirement of 640 N/mm2 (high tension bolt), 240 N/mm2 (mild steel bolt) and 275 N/mm2 as required by EN 1993-1-8. Meanwhile the ultimate shear force of bolts was found within ranges of 25% (high tension) and 12.5% (mild steel) from their respective ultimate tensile force. Bearing failure was occurred at bolt hole of 3 mm thickness of steel plate but only when it was fastened to high tension bolt. No bearing failure occurred when mild steel bolt was used. It has proven that all bolt spacing and edges distances were sufficient, without tearing failure observed in all testing. Finally, the permissible bearing resistance were checked based on the ratio of experiment against the EN 1993-1-8 relationships, when it has shown to satisfaction if the value is less than 1 as recommended by previous researcher.

An experimental investigation of the influences ammonia concentration variation to the performances of pump less ammonia-aqua absorption refrigeration system with water flooding evaporator is described. The heat generated in generator and refrigerating effect in evaporator, cooling capacity, coefficients of performance (COP) are investigated. The objective of this study is to investigate the characteristic and influences of the ammonia concentration variation to the performance of pump less absorption refrigeration system with water flooding evaporator as a refrigeration load.. In this research, the generator temperature has been setting constant in 80°C using electric heater, the ammonia concentration in 500 ml solution would be varied in 18%, 27%, 37%, 47%, and 59%. It is concluded that heat generated in generator and refrigerating effect in evaporator decrease with increasing ammonia concentration, while the cooling capacity and COP would increase with increasing ammonia concentration. As a result, it is found that increasing the ammonia concentration would effect on increasing of cooling capacity and COP. The highest the ammonia concentration, the highest cooling capacity and COP would be resulted. The highest cooling capacity and COP resulted respectively are 0.7180 kW and 0.829 at 59% ammonia concentration.

This study reports an investigation of psychological factors influencing student behavior to reduce using cars for traveling to campus from the perspective of the Norm Activation Model, with the addition of students’ car access, and car use habits for traveling to campus. Students from three different university campuses completed a survey on their car commuting behavior. Results indicated that a car use habit, awareness of consequences, and ascription of responsibility explain 63% variance of personal norm. Personal norms explain 47% variance of the behavioral intention. In turn, behavioral intention, car use habit, and car access explains 54% of the variance of actual car use. A car use habit and ascription of responsibility were the strongest factors that influence personal norms, and car use habit was the strongest factors that influence actual car use behavior, while car access significantly influence car use habit and actual car use behavior. Implications of these findings are that in order to alter the use of car, universities should implement both structural and psychological intervention. To be effective interventions should be design to removing opportunities for enactment of car use habit, also to enhance the sense of responsibility towards the negative impact of car use.

Remote sensing is a method usually used for conducting geothermal reconnaissance surveys by mapping surface alteration anomalies, which are captured by a satellite sensor. This study analyzes the characteristics of the surface alteration zones in the Wayang Windu geothermal field (WWGF). It employs a remote sensing method using multispectral Landsat 8 imagery and is validated by ground truth data from field surveys. The WWGF is located in Pangalengan, West Java with an elevation of 1500-2600 m.a.s.l., and lies in a quaternary volcanic arc. The rock types in Wayang Windu consist of andesite, basalt, tuff, breccia, and pumice. Fractures and faults are identified as lineaments in this area and based on their structures, were directed to be oriented northwest-southeast and northeast-southwest. This research combined a field survey and remote sensing methods to enhance the spatial data. Field surveys yield 18 spots for obtaining soil samples and laboratory analyses were performed. Spectral reflectance analysis was performed to determine the reflectance and mineral composition of the samples, X-ray diffraction was performed to determine the mineral composition, and X-ray fluorescence was performed to determine the abundance of elements. A scene from Landsat 8 image acquired on September 10, 2013 was evaluated using a principal component analysis-based method. The surface alteration zones in the WWGF correlated with joints and faults. Based on the mineral composition, the surface alteration zones in WWGF were identified as advanced argillic zone with the occurrence of secondary minerals such as cristobalite and halloysite, and a propylitic zone with the occurrence of secondary minerals such as epidote and chlorite.

A coffee bean dryer simulator that would be able to fully simulate the whole process of coffee bean drying using heat recovered from geothermal energy source has been thermally designed. This simulator is planned to educate people living near the geothermal resources or power plants about the direct use of geothermal energy, especially in coffe drying. The maximum capacity of this simulator is 5 kilogram of fresh coffee bean that is dried using hot air at 45°C and mass flow rate of 0,23 kg/s. The duration of drying is about 3000 seconds which should be adequate to represent the drying process. The heat exchanger proposed for this thesis is a compact heat exchanger with staggered pipe arangement. The total number of pipes is 10 pipes at 36 cm in length and 65 flat plate alluminium fins measured at 0,6m x 0,16m x 0,005m. The fin efficiency value and the overall surface efficiency value are 72% and 73% respectively.

The urbanization and construction of modern infrastructure lead to the increase in surface runoff and decrease in infiltration . Groundwater is one of the most important water sources in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. The amount of groundwater extraction over the years has been greater than the natural replenishment capacity, as a result the water table has significantly decreased. This study mainly aims to identify critical locations for groundwater recharge . The land covers in 1996 and 2011 were generated based on Landsat satellite image with a 30 × 30 m resolution. The 2030 land cover was modeled with a land change modeler, The Arc-Curve number tool was used to calculate the curve number (CN). Runoff was calculated with the SCS runoff equation. Compared to that in 1996, the forest and agriculture area in 2011 decreased, whereas the vegetation and built-up areas increased. From 2011 to 2030, no changes in forest, decrease in vegetation and agriculture area, and increase in the built-up area are observed. The water area throughout the study periods is less than 0.2%. The city center of Kathmandu Valley has higher CN, greater than 85, for all the observed periods, as a result, a higher runoff is observed. The weighted average CNs are 63 and 65 for 2011 and 2030, respectively. The northern and southern parts of Kathmandu Valley has lower CNs; hence, the lower runoff and possibly higher infiltration indicate critical locations for the groundwater recharge. The northern area includes, Lapsephedi, Gagalphedi, Nayapati, Sundarijal, Chapali, Bhadrakali, Budalinilkantha, and Baluwa and southern area includes Devichour, Nallu, Bhardv, and Godawari.
