Concrete is a construction material that is extensively used to build various infrastructures. The increasing of basic human facilities and the resulting infrastructures in increasing needs of concrete and cement concrete as the material forming. Many problems in the concrete producing industry are not sustainable. Because of concrete production uses enormous natural resources and the main binding material in concrete is cement. Cement is the result of calcination of lime roomates in the process results in the release of carbon dioxide (CO2). To mitigate this problem and for sustainability concrete, many researches have been done to find a replacement for cement. Geopolymer concrete is an alternative to reduce part of cement. Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) that consist of silica and alumina can be used as a binder to replace part of the Portland Composite Cement (PCC). In this study, concrete compressive strength tests were carried out on 48 specimens of concrete cylinder 15x30 cm. The ratio of substitution GGBFS/PCC used were 0/100, 40/60, 50/50 and 60/40. The specimens were cured at room temperature then tested at the age of 7, 14, 21 and 28 days. The results show that the average compressive strength of concrete at the age of 28 days that GGBFS/PCC ratio of 0/100, 40/60, 50/50 and 60/40 were 26.50, 23.01, 26.65 and 22.56 MPa, respectively. Based on the analysis, 50% substitution of GGBFS can be used to partially replace cement because has the same as normal compressive strength of concrete and can be classified as environmentally friendly or green concrete.

BackgroundHead CT is the most frequently performed examination in every hospital in Indonesia. Considering of the large radiation dose of head CT produces and eye which is one of the most sensitive organs, radioprotection is should be done for every patient of head CT. The aim of this study is to determine the radiation dose of eye lens during head CT compared to the dose limit value determined by ICRP No. 87 of 2000 and provides recommendations for examination protocols that prioritize radiation protection in order to reducing eye lens radiation dose. MethodsRadiation dose measurement of eye lens were performed on 10 patient samples using two different scanograms for every 5 patients. The first five patients had a scanogram parallel to the Orbitomeatal line (OML) and the other 5 patients had a scanogram parallel to the Supraorbitomeatal line (SOML). Radiation dose measurement is done by placing the Thermoluminescent Dosimeter 100-chip on one of the patient's eyelid surfaces. The results of the radiation dose measurements are presented and compared with the standard dose CT scan according to ICRP No. 87 2000. ResultsThe research showed that the procedure using scanogram parallel to OML get eye lens radiation dose 53.889 mGy, 50.729 mGy, 60.407 mGy, 70.952 mGy, 70.952 mGy and the other procedure which is using scanogram parallel to SOML get eye lens radiation dose 7.265 mGy, 6.944 mGy, 8.747 mGy, 6.411 mGy, 6.944 mGy. ConclusionThe procedure using scanogram parallel to the OML produces a higher dose of eye lens and it exceeds the standard head CT eye lens dose according to ICRP No. 87 of 2000. While the another procedure using scanogram parallel to SOML produces a lower radiation dose. Head CT is advised to use a scanogram parallel to SOML to reduce the eye lens radiation dose.

This research is performed to analyze effect of using crumb rubber (CR) on the overlay design of Palembang City – Betung roads. Analysis of existing road conditions using the AASHTO 1993. This analysis based on deflection data using the Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD). While, the overlay design analysis using CIRCLY 7.0 software to determine horizontal tensile strain (εh) for fatigue live and vertical compressive strain (εv) for rutting live parameters. The result showed that using CR can increase fatigue live into 66 % and rutting lives into 22 % for contribute pavement performance. To ensure the effect of CR in pavement's performance, further research must be taken to find out if there are other effects that support.

Modifying asphalt concrete with using Crumb Rubber (CR) can provide environmental benefits. The method used in this study is an experimental laboratory with Mashall machine. The tests used two types of gradation, namely the gradations of Ideal and Laboratory Test. CR used in a mixture with a dry process method to replacement 0%, 5%, 15% and 20% of the weight aggregate at fraction No. 30 (0.6 mm). The results showed that the Ideal gradation mixture has a better characteristic than the mixture of laboratory tested gradations. Ideal gradations can increased stability into 10% from Laboratory Test gradations for mixture without CR. Addition of CR contect in AC mixture did not significantly effect for the characteristics. To ensure the effect of CR in mixture, further test must be taken.

Design and construction of road embankment presents several challenges, including the possibility of bearing capacity failure, large total settlement, differential settlement, and slope instability, which may result from the weight of the embankment construction itself, and/or weak foundation. A number of techniques have been developed and can be used to overcome these problems, one of them is by modifying the weight of the embankment itself with the use of lightweight materials, such as soil-EPS mixture. The use of soil-EPS mixture as lightweight material provides several advantages, among which can achieve the same volume or elevation requirement with a significantly lighter weight compared to ordinary materials, improving slope stability, embankment over high compressibility soil, and to reduce soil pressure to soil retaining structures, abutment or bridge pillar. Fly ash also added to act as binder to increase shear strength of mixture. The result of the compaction test shows that the addition of a small amount of EPS to the mixture can significantly reduce the maximum dry density of the mixture. Triaxial UU and UCS test results show a reduction in mixture strength as EPS contents increase, but due to the presence of fly ash increases the strength of mixture as the number of day increases, so that the use of lightweight materials has the potential to be one of soil improvement solutions.

Micro hydro electric power plant (MEPP) prototype is a small scale power plant (less than 100 kW) that utilizes height difference and water discharge per second. Prototype consists of a water pump, where capacity of 41 liter per minute serving as turbine driving force channelled through a nozzle, with a 40 liter water reservoir, and the water flow rate controller is a gate valve. The results show that at blade counts of 4,8,12, and 16, and with water discharge at 40 l/s, 35 l/s, 30l/s, and 25 l/s, with nozzle shooting angle of 50 °, the turbine rotational velocities are 310 rpm, 639 rpm, 655.5 rpm, and 691.3 rpm respectively. Furthermore, at water discharge of 35 l/s, the velocities are 293.3 rpm, 375,3 rpm, 412.7 rpm, 446.2 rpm, and at water discharge of 30 l/s, they are 240.3 Rpm, 395.0 rpm, 430.5 rpm, 445.2 Rpm. Moreover, at water discharge 25 of l/s, the speeds are 285.5 rpm, 330.5 rpm, 426.0 rpm, 431.1 rpm. It is concluded that the higher the water discharge rate, the greater the number of rotation, and it is also concluded that shooting angle has a significant effects on pelton turbine rotation and power.

One of the alternative sources of renewable energy that can overcome the environmental crises and the current fossil energy crisis is microalgae. Microalgae contain fatty acids that can be converted into biofuel products, such as biodiesel. This study was a preliminary research which was conducted to determine the amount of fatty acids contained in microalgae and its potentiality to be converted into biodiesel. The microalgae used in this study were Botryococcus braunii. Data collection of fatty acids of Botryococcus braunii were obtained by the direct analysis in the laboratory using an instrument in the form of gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and also obtained from literature study in several research of previous researcher. Based on that, it was found out that Botryococcus braunii contained with oleic acid ranged from 15.65 – 35.85%, linoleic acid 3.05 – 23.15%, palmitic acid 4.03 – 22.13 % and stearic acid 0.48 – 15.41%. The profile and fatty acid content of this preliminary study could be one of the decisive parameters in the selection of microalgae species. Based on results concluded that Botryococcus braunii had good potentiality to be converted into biodiesel because the ratio of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids in this species is not much different.
