The Palu River in Central Sulawesi is one of the rivers prone to flooding in Indonesia, especially in the middle and downstream segments. The intensity of flooding has also increased after the 2018 Earthquake and Tsunami due to bed subsidence around Palu Bay triggered by the earthquake. This paper intends to investigate the impact of configuration changes and bed subsidence on flow characteristics, particularly the upstream return flow associated with high tide. Hydrodynamic simulations have been performed for tracing the water level profile upstream using the HEC-RAS Package. The simulation was applied for three conditions: minimum discharge, average discharge and maximum discharge, and it established high tide levels as a condition of the downstream boundary. The high tide level is defined as the simulation boundary because high tides generally cause inundation in the estuary due to backflow during both low and high flows. The simulation results based on the geometry of the river after the 2018 earthquake and tsunami show that the backflow to the upstream of the Palu River due to high tides has been seen in all three simulation conditions. High tide has triggered the longest return flow at minimum discharge reaching nearly 3 km upstream with varying heights along the water level profile. This backflow has the potential to cause bottom silting due to reduced flow velocity.

A modified chitosan-polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel was developed by incorporating Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Four chitosan-Fe3O4 (ChFe) hydrogel types were developed based on chitosan:Fe3O4 ratio as 1:0, 1:1, 1:0.5 and 1:0.25. Batch sorption experiments were conducted with different pH, dosage, kinetics, and isotherms. The exhausted ChFe hydrogels were evaluated for their regeneration and reuse capability with different acids and bases. The best hydrogel for arsenic (V) [As(V)] adsorption was 1:0.5 ratio ChFe hydrogel. The highest As(V) adsorption (89 %) was at pH 4 and the adsorption capacity gradually decreased with increasing solution pH. Within the pH 4–6 range, the hydrogel surface became positively charged due to protonation of –NH2 and –OH groups in the polymer chain and the positive surface attracted H2AsO4− and HAsO42− oxyanions. The experimental kinetic data was well-fitted to the Elovich model (R2 of 0.99) while the Freundlich isotherm model best described the isotherm data (R2 of 0.97). The models predicted chemisorption mechanisms on ChFe hydrogel composites. Electrostatic attractions with –NH3+ and –OH2+, ligand-exchange inner-sphere complexes formation and bidentate corner-sharing (2C) and bidentate edge-sharing (2E) trimetric surface complexes formation have been proposed as the adsorption mechanism of As(V) into ChFe hydrogel. 0.1 M CH3COOH showed the best regeneration pattern with 75, 96, 81, 53 and 43 % of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th adsorption respectively. Because of this re-usable capability, the As(V) adsorption capacity is not a single value from one adsorption cycle, but a cumulative value of several adsorption cycles and it was 17.39 mg/g for five adsorption cycles. Open for regeneration and reuse, no post-treatment is needed for adsorbent-water separation, allow applications of the ChFe hydrogel composite in a wide range of applications such as water filtration and purification systems. The modification with ChFe further expands the application

The truss bridge is a type of bridge that is widely used in Indonesia because of its practicality and can be constructed in short period of time. The relatively light weight of the truss bridge structure also facilitates the transportation of superstructure materials to bridge locations located in remote areas. The dimensions of the large truss bridge and the relatively light weight cause the figure bridge to be vulnerable to wind loads. Meanwhile, the bridge loading regulations including wind load is continuing to change. Previous design code BMS 1992 and SNI T 02 2005 has been superseded with SNI 1725 2016. One of the main changes to the loading regulations is related to the magnitude and how wind loads are calculated and applied to the bridge structure. This study will compare the magnitude of the wind load in the previous loading regulations in Indonesia with the latest regulations and also with wind loading according to AASHTO on steel truss bridges. A 60-class standard steel truss bridge from the Ministry of Public Works which is used for Case study. The results showed that there was a significant increase in wind loading by applying SNI 1725 2016 loading regulations
