Bonding Capacity of Deform Bar in Sea Water Concrete
The seawater contains about 35,000 ppm is dissolved salt which can increase the risk of corrosion in steel reinforcement embedded in concrete. This study aims to determine the value of bond strength of seawater concrete with steel reinforcement. This research uses experimental test method in laboratory which includes compressive strength test, concrete split tensile strength test, tensile strength of deform bar, pull out test and visual observation of carbonation test. The specimens in this study was made in 3 different types of curing, i.e. wet curing, dry curing and wet-dry curing. The result of the research obtain the compressive strength for 28 days for dry curing is 17.15 MPa, while for wet curing and dry-wet curing about 16.895 MPa and 19.367 MPa, respectively. The split tensile strength of concrete after 28 days for dry curing, wet curing, and dry-wet curing are 7.55 MPa, 8.85 MPa and 7.55 MP, respectively. The bond strength specimen for 28 days in dry curing was 5.46 MPa, whereas specimen in the wet curing and dry wet curing showed bond strength about 5.94 MPa and 4.90 MPa, respectively. Based on the result, compressive strength in wet-dry curing showed higher value than others curing types, while specimen in wet curing presented the value of split tensile strength and bond strength higher than dry curing and wet-dry curing
Behaviour of Optimized Honey Comb Beam Under Monotonic Loading
Honey comb beam is a steel beam which has opening on its web. The advantage of this beam is to increase the bending capacity of the beam due to increasing of inertia moment and plastic moment of steel beam section. There are three important variables which determining the capacity of the honey comb beam, i.e. opening space, opening angle, and opening ratio of the honey comb beam. This paper presents the behavior of honey comb beam which has firstly been optimized and has been done by using fast multi swarm optimization (FMSO). In the previous research, there are two cases of optimization considered. First case is optimization of opening space and opening angle with certain opening ratio, while the second case is optimization of opening space, opening angle, and opening ratio. Based on FMSO, the result showed that the second case of optimization has a better result than first case of optimization. Therefore, in order to validate the result of FMSO, the finite element analysis was conducted to obtain the behavior of optimized section of honey comb beam using monotonic loading
Flexural Behavior of Styrofoam-Filled Concrete
Various kinds of innovations have been made to obtain lightweight concrete, for example using Styrofoam as partial replacement of aggregates. The objective of this study was to analyze the flexural behavior of Styrofoam-filled Concrete (SFC) by adding Styrofoam 30 % to replace the concrete volume. The testing was carried out on three variations specimens with a total of 6 specimens, which each variation consist of 2 specimens. The characteristic of Normal Concrete (NC) and SFC was first evaluated. Then, the behavior of SFC beam was compared with the behavior of NC beam and SFC with CFRP strengthening (SFC-CFRP). The specimens were statically loaded using two-point load system with constant speed ramp actuator at 0.1 mm/second until the beam failure. The results indicate that the strength of normal concrete (NC) and SFC has decreased with addition of 30% Styrofoam. However, when the SFC beam was combined with deformed bar, the ultimate bending strength of SFC specimens increase 12.6% compared to the NC specimens. Similarly, the ultimate strength of SFC-CFRP specimens improved by 39.74% compared to the SFC specimens
Sizing Optimization of Retaining Wall by Firefly Algorithm
Retaining wall is used to retain the lateral pressure of soil and surface loading. It has been widely used for application in civil engineering structure such as fill application, roadway cut, etc. This paper considered a firefly algorithm to find out the optimum size and shape of retaining wall with 7m of height and subjected to various loading (5kN/m2, 10kN/m2, 20kN/m2, 40kN/m2). There are four design variables considered for optimization. The objective is to minimize the weight of the retaining wall without violating the requirement of retaining wall. This paper considered stability check of the retaining wall such as overturning stability, sliding stability, and bearing capacity of the soil under the retaining wall. The result shows that the shape of retaining wall with load of 5kN/m2 and 10kN/m2 were similar, the body of the retaining wall were rectangular while the shape of retaining wall with load of 20kN/m2 and 40kN/m2 were trapezoidal. Sliding stability became design control for all loading cases compared by other stability problem (overturning and bearing capacity of soil under the retaining wall). Therefore, it can be concluded that firefly algorithm has successfully been applied to optimize the retaining wall

Experimental Study on Cement and Fine Aggregate Replacement with Coal Bottom Ash in Seawater-Mixed Concrete
An experimental study was carried out to study the properties of concrete made with seawater as total mixing water, ground coal bottom ash as binary cement and coal bottom ash as sand replacement. The first stage mixes were prepared with three percentages (0, 10, 20 and 30) of ground coal bottom ash as partial replacement of binder. The second stage mixes involved 10 percent of ground coal bottom ash with 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of coal bottom ash replacing natural sand. Properties investigated were materials properties, binder chemical composition, concrete hardened density, compressive strength, and SEM. Test on hardened density was conducted on 7 and 28 days. Ground coal bottom ash was identified as Class F, while coal bottom ash has low specific density and high-water absorption compared to natural sand. Concrete density and compressive strength decreased on use of coal bottom ash as fine aggregate. Compressive strength was seen to decrease as CBA percentage rose, with the maximum value being 44.4 MPa for combination of 10 percent ground coal bottom ash and 25 percent coal bottom ash. Series with 10% CBA (ground coal bottom ash) reduces by roughly 51% while maintaining a sufficient structural strength value. The findings of this investigation showed that it is possible to produce seawater-concrete, which incorporates coal ash in concrete
