Abstract On average, each person in Indonesia generates 0.45 kg of waste a day. The country is home to 231.8 million people, so the average daily waste generated is approximately 104.31 million kg. Malang, one of the biggest cities in East Java Province, generated 1,790.5 m3 of waste in 2001. Bank Sampah Malang (BSM), a waste bank program, has been established as a social engineering project to socialize and educate waste management in the community. The Malang Waste Bank (BSM) management policy was made as social engineering, providing socialization and education to the community to manage waste. This study aims to analyze the BSM policy by using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Information from informants about policy evaluation shows that AHP consists of criteria, sub-criteria, and policy determination based on a green economy concept. The green economy includes economic, social, and environmental/ecological aspects. To sum up, BSM policy as the priority of social engineering requires institutional and environmental support as well as information availability.

Abstract The construction sector in Jordan faces various obstacles, one of the most significant being poor communication, which negatively impacts project performance and can even lead to project failure. The primary objective of this study is to identify and evaluate the causes and effects of poor communication in Jordan. A questionnaire containing 32 causes and 21 effects of poor communication was used to gather data. The top ten causes of poor communication are; possessing different levels of education among construction teams; a lack of communication plan; a lack of an appropriate communications medium; a lack of communication procedures and training; a slow flow of information between parties; diversity of culture among construction teams; construction teams possessing different skill levels; contractual barriers; the unavailability of information at the time of need, and a lack of understanding among parties. Poor communication is a prevalent issue in the Jordanian construction industry, Jordan's construction industry needs to improve its current communication state. Both contractors and consultants are affected by this issue and there is a high level of agreement between them on the causes and effects of poor communication.

Abstract Transport infrastructures, such as bridges, located in seismically active regions are potential exposure due to seismic hazards. A bridge collapse can have tremendous consequences because they provide vital links in a transportation system. Cross border region historically is very well known as territory characterized with high seismic risk. For that purpose, this study is related to the identification of seismic hazard cross-border harmonization vulnerability assessment of risk based on defined levels of seismic hazard and definition of reliable risk of simply supported girders bridge, which is main typology scheme. This study presents an analytical method to predict damage exceedance probabilities due to seismic events using the development of fragility curves. The proposed framework is demonstrated by performing case study highway bridges located in cross border Albanian region with Greece and North Macedonia. Bridge hazard identification is defined by established each damage state of probabilistic structural capacity. The damage probabilities of exceedance that structural demand exceeds capacity are analyzed, displaying results in the fragility curves of bridges.

Abstract The article attempts to assess the possibility of using non-woven fabrics made of waste fibers in cladding panels. For this purpose, woolen and polypropylene nonwovens were tested for mass per unit area, characteristic opening size, and lengthwise and crosswise elongation at maximum strength. Non-woven fabrics were placed in the middle of the thickness of cement and gypsum boards and subjected to tests of density, thermal conductivity coefficient λ, and bending strength. The influence of individual nonwoven fabrics with different properties on the properties of the finished composite was determined. It was found that wool nonwoven fabrics had the best effect on the thermal conductivity coefficient. A better affinity for nonwoven fabrics was shown by gypsum mortar. The best influence on the bending strength of the panels had polyester non-woven fabrics with the lowest mass per unit area and the largest characteristic opening size.

Abstract Concrete, which is based on the use of Portland cement as a binder, often becomes a construction material in the construction industry. Concrete itself, however, exists in a number of modifications that are intended for specific applications. Especially with regard to the development of materials engineering, variants were created, which include, for example, fiber reinforced concrete with improved tensile properties and alkaline-activated composite, which produces less CO2 emissions. The aim of the presented article is to verify the concept of using a combination of reinforced concrete and alkaline-activated material in the application of reinforced concrete beams without shear reinforcement. Components of the experimental program are static load tests, which are evaluated in detail with regard to the formation and propagation of cracks. Laboratory tests are also part of the experimental program, which focus on a detailed description of the properties and the possibility of a technological solution.

Abstract This study aims for two purposes: firstly, using the Differential Evolution method combined with limit equilibrium methods to find the factor of safety of a variety of different configurations of slopes and soil parameters. Two patterns of the embankments are assessed, a one-layer soil pattern with 540 cases and a two-layer soil pattern with 24300 cases. Secondly, using these data to train and test an artificial neural network for predicting the factor of safety of slopes. The experimental data and values predicted by the artificial neural network correlate well with a linear coefficient of correlation of around 0.99. Given large enough training data, the proposed approach shows its reliability in quick evaluation of the slope stability without a long process of searching for a critical slip surface.

Abstract The majority of roads in most countries are two-lane highways. These lanes quickly reach their capacity and must be upgraded on a regular basis. To do so, we must first determine the capacity of the street. The primary objective of this study was to determine the effect of carriageway width, the radius of the horizontal curve, and gradients on Passenger Car Unit (PCU) values as well as on capacity of two-lane undivided Highways, and more importantly, to develop a multiple linear regression model to determine the capacity of the highway when all of these factors are present, which has not been previously reported. Green shield’s model was used to estimate the capacity of each element for all thirty-six sections using flow and speed data. Different models were built using regression analysis to estimate capacity independently, and the combined model was developed as a result. It has been noted that with proportionate increases in carriageway width and radius of the curve, there is an equivalent rise in PCU values and highway capacity, providing improved comfort and safety to road users. It was also discovered that when the value of the gradient increases cause increase in PCU values but the highway capacity decreases, thereby increasing the vehicle operating cost. Where all of these characteristics are present simultaneously in a section, the resulting multiple linear regression model was proven to be appropriate. It is believed to be valuable to practitioners as well as in the development or revision of Indian highway capacity manuals.

Abstract Carbon emissions and sand mining have generated massive environmental imbalances. Because of the impact of depleting resources, using slag in concrete is a viable alternative for minimizing environmental impact. The acceptability of using induction furnace steel slag as a partial replacement for aggregate and as an additive in concrete mixtures for columns was investigated. Ten 140 mm × 140 mm × 750 mm short columns subjected to axial and uniaxial loads were tested. The outcome demonstrates that using SS in general decreases displacement levels and increases load levels. The proposed steel slag as a 30 % sand replacement mixture is preferred over the others. All the suggested combinations showed decreases in the ductility ratio and energy absorption. Induction furnace steel slag can be used in concrete columns.

Abstract Vibro-compaction is a recent technique for treating soils in the mass, thus improving its mediocre geo mechanical properties. In addition, this treatment makes it possible to minimize the risk of liquefaction, it is closely linked to the grain size of the soil to be treated. The soil underlying the construction project of the port of Nador in Morocco requires treatment to improve its characteristics and in particular to minimize the risk of liquefaction, given that Morocco is in a collision zone, near the border between the two African-Eurasian plates that are seismically active (earthquake in the city of Al Hoceima in 2004 in Morocco). The purpose of this work is to test the different parameters of vibro-compaction (mesh, vibration frequency, height of passes, duration of compaction) necessary to obtain the objectives set for the work (relative density ≥ 77 %), through the carrying out of an embarkation test on the substitute sands of the main breakwater of this Port. The in situ control tests (CPT) of the main dam, which were carried out by the substitution sand, made it possible to confirm the results of the test bench. These results stipulate on the one hand that the vibro-compaction mesh of 4.00 m is the most optimal and on the other hand that the relative density is an important parameter of liquefaction control.

Abstract The main problem is to raise the standard of construction, rethinking concrete's expanding potential as a construction material. The scarcity of river sand as a fine aggregate ingredient is currently a widespread issue for many concrete plants. As a result, quarried stones that were accessible locally were used as fine aggregate. Crushed Rock Particles, also known as crushed sand, performs better in terms of fresh characteristics since there are more fines present in CRF than in river sand. The current study additionally examines the relationship between plastic viscosity and the fresh and hardened SCC properties. As a partial substitute for Ordinary Portland Cement, Fly Ash and Ground Granulated Blast Slag blends are used to generate binary and ternary. The experimental tests satisfactorily validate the suggested blend design. The results shown that SCC mixture with ternary blend, binary blend with GGBS, fly ash, and blend with pure OPC are suitable for creating fresh characteristics. Additionally, it was found that a cohesive and workable mix was produced when 100 % CRF was used in place of sand.
