Outstanding of learning Based on Using Historical Sites Colonial in Ternate City as a Source of Learning

Teaching and learning activities (learning), especially the subjects of history, the focus or object of their discussion about human activities (events) that are relevant to the past with their evidence based on space and time. So to explain past events with current conditions, presumably separating problems in the implementation of learning. With the classical learning method (lecture method) and learning that is always carried out in the classroom, so that it affects the interest and activeness of students in participating in learning history. So it is not surprising that stigmatization appears that history lessons seem very boring. Therefore, hopefully with this writing, it can be a solution in learning history by utilizing local historical relics as a source of learning or other activities that contain educational value. In this article, outlining and presenting examples of how to use colonial heritage buildings in the city of Ternate as a source of learning. Because it is necessary to know that, the existence of historic buildings (fortresses) with a large number in the city of Ternate. So it is very effective if the existing potential can be used as a source of learning with the Outdoor Study approach. In addition, this article also explains the steps of outdoor study-based learning in utilizing historical relics as learning resources

Application Of Sustainable Design Principles To Increase Energy Efficiency Of Existing Buildings

This study investigates the effectiveness of different energy retrofitting techniques and examines the impact of employing those methods on energy consumption of existing residential buildings. Based on the research findings, the most effective and practical method of retrofitting has been proposed in order to improve energy efficiency of existing buildings. In order to achieve this goal, an existing residential building has been simulated in FirstRate 5 software so as to determine the existing thermal performance of the building. Afterwards, considering sustainable design principles, different insulation layers, glazing, and construction materials have been employed to conduct a comprehensive thermal performance study. Based on the research outcomes, the best technique for increasing energy efficiency of existing buildings and reducing their environmental impact and footprint has been identified and proposed for practical purposes

System Communication in Management Conflict of Natural Resources Development in Maluku Province

Regional conflicts in natural resource management can be caused by the limitations of interested parties in accessing natural resources. This paper aims to provide an overview of the management of natural resource development conflicts through mediation, the actors in natural resource development and to build a communication system model to minimize conflicts. The study concluded that the communication system in managing natural resource development conflicts was done through a mediation process. Mediation facilitates the involvement of conflicting parties and seeks a solution that benefits both parties. The actor is one approach in the structural flow, acting as the state's first or leading actor. As the first actor, the state has two functions: an actor user and protector of natural resources and the environment. The second factor is the entrepreneur (corporate, including mining companies), both at the global and national levels. The third actor in society is the weakest party. This actor almost always understands the process of marginalization or vulnerability to various forms of environmental degradation. The development conflict management communication system aims to change the behaviour of conflicting parties to reduce and resolve conflicts through dialogue and a participatory proces

Long-term structural behaviour of composite sandwich panels

© Avestia Publishing, 2017. New materials are great additions to the structural world dominated by concrete and steel creating sustainable products and low impact materials that can go head to head with concrete and steel. The new materials being discovered can often outperform traditional materials and have added benefits that improve the in-life performance such as thermal capabilities and sound insulation. One of these construction materials are sandwich panels made of two materials that are relatively weak in their separated state, but are improved when they are constructed together in a sandwich panel. Sandwich panels can be used for almost any section of a building. Polystyrene/cement mixed core and thin cement sheet facings sandwich panels are Australian products made of cement-polystyrene beaded mixture encapsulated between two thick cement board sheets. Long-term structural behaviour of these sandwich panels are relatively unknown. Therefore, in this study, in order to understand the creep and creep recovery behaviour and properties of those sandwich panels, a series of experimental tests have been performed and the outcomes have been explained and discussed. Based on the results of this study, values for immediate recovery, creep recovery and irrecoverable creep strain are determined and proposed. In addition, typical creep and creep recovery design charts have been developed and presented for practical applications in structural engineering

Timber Portal Frames vs Timber Truss-Based Systems for Residential Buildings

© 2019 Harry Far and Claire Far. A large number of structures have been built during or after the construction of a house or residential-zoned building, which are not built at the same time and/or integrally with the structural integrity of the residential dwelling. These include carports, pergolas, sheds, and barns. The typical method of constructing these structures is a general timber truss and column system. The aim of this study is to look at the feasibility and economic incentive that may be gained from using a timber portal frame system, similar to the steel or timber portal frames used for larger industrial constructions, over the traditional timber truss and column arrangement. In this study, designs for three cases of timber truss and timber portals were carried out using industry appropriate methods and standards. Using the design information and data gathered through talks with industry professionals, both methods of construction were compared on cost and overall time duration. From the comparison of the truss and portal designs, the use of timber portal frames over timber truss systems proved to have advantage in relation to overall cost and man power involved. This could certainly affect the current attitude towards the construction of small residential buildings in the future
