In this paper, we propose an extension for a model of unsaturated soils developed by Van Genuchten (1980) and obtain a thermos-hydric model to study the influence of temperature on the water retention curve. A brief presentation of the model is described using the independent parameter modeling method. The proposed hydrometric model makes it possible to predict, from the experimental measurements carried out on drainage-humidification paths for an ambient temperature, the WRC (water retention curve) at high temperatures, while knowing the initial state of the soil studied (Compacted or in the form of a paste). We show in this model the existence of the hysteresis phenomenon between the drainage and humidification path and the shift of the downward retention curves showing a slight decrease in the water content as the temperature increases. To validate this model, three experimental results from the literature are simulated. The results obtained by simulating the experimental curves show the ability of the proposed model to predict WRC at high temperatures. These results considerably reduce the number of experimental trials in geotechnical and geothermal unsaturated soils.

Eco-hydraulic analyses begin with the arrangement of tributaries. This research aimed to minimize the discharge of flood run-off downstream and map the flood inundation by spatial analysis uses DEMNAS data and mapping of flood inundation areas using ArcGIS. Analysis of return period flood points using HEC-RAS version 5.0.7. The data needed is the cross section of the river, the distance between the sections, the Manning's roughness number, the return period flood discharge and the slope of the river. The integration between topographic maps, watersheds and flood water levels can display areas that are potentially affected by inundation floods, so that the flood inundation limits and flood inundation areas can be calculated. This research examined proper eco-hydraulics design so that it could reduce discharge, identify locations prone to flooding, and describe the magnitude of the flood impact quantitatively. The results eco-hydraulic method obtained the design border width of 100 m, the condition before the existing river border arrangement was carried out, the inundation height was 0.30 – 1.13 m and after the river border arrangement the discharge could be reduced to 113.09 – 209 m3/s and the inundation height is 0 – 0.31 m. Based on the research results, it is known that border arrangement can provide benefits for flood control measures.

The tensile test is reliable for revealing the fundamental stress-strain relationship. However, researchers have challenges when applying sufficient equipment to comprehend and assess the tensile characteristics of low-to-medium-strength materials. This study describes the design and construction of a portable universal testing machine (UTM) for investigating the mechanical characteristics of medium-strength materials. The components of this machine include two stepper motors, a load cell, a load cell amplifier, a linear potentiometer, and a data acquisition system. The capability of this machine component is designed for a load of 10 kN with a maximum stroke of 150 mm with vertical motion. Samples of jute and glass fiber composites were tested at room temperature on this machine. The generated results were compared with those obtained from a commercial UTM to validate the developed machine. The values of the mechanical characteristics that a commercial UTM measured are quite similar to those acquired from the measurements that were taken by this machine. The conclusion is that this testing machine is simple, portable, reliable, and might be constructed cheaply

This study develops a linear mixed model (LMM) that includes spatial effects between regions with a spatial autoregressive model (SAR model). Between observations (regions) on that LMM are usually assumed to be independent. However, these assumptions are not always fulfilled due to dependency between regions. There are two important parts in spatial modeling: spatial dependence and spatial heterogeneity. In this study, we are concerned with the spatial lag or SAR models because dependency between variables of interest is easier to predict. On the other hand, all observations are real and can be directly seen from the data patterns. In addition, as a challenge for researchers to find all estimators while the values of the spatial dependence, sampling variance, and component variance are all unknown. This study aims to find all parameter estimators using a numerical approach and exact solutions. All exact estimators obtained are consistent estimators.

The urban railway in the City of Banda Aceh and the surrounding areas is currently being proposed by the Aceh Provincial Government through the Department of Transportation of Indonesia. The presence of this rail transport mode is expected to change the travel behavior of the commuter. As such, people who use private vehicles may shift to public transport mode, thereby reducing congestion, noise, and pollution. The objective of this study is to determine factors and indicators—related to rail transport—that are important to the community. This study was conducted to provide information on the urban railway planning of the City of Banda Aceh. The principal component analysis (PCA) was utilized in this study. The results analysis of the study shows that the most significant variable influencing the public on the urban railway for Banda Aceh City is land use (19.09%). The indicator that is important to the community under the land use factor includes the property used as railway (0.911), land use used as railway (0.907), adjacent land used as railway infrastructure (0.876), and adjacent property used as railway infrastructure (0.861). Overall, the respondents positively perceived the urban railway planning of Banda Aceh City and accepted the city's rail transport plan.

The dynamic analysis of bridges simulated as Euler-Bernoulli beam models with elastic supports subjected to mobile loads are analyzed by conventional methods to obtain a new solution for displacement. Generally, these beam supports can be characterized by springs with a given stiffness, which considerably influence the structure's dynamic behavior and even attenuate the dynamic amplification. The solutions proposed until now are defined only on span but not supports. In this paper, we used Green's function, considering boundary and continuity conditions and shear force to study the global behavior of the beam. A new displacement formula is proposed for the beam to support a span according to the velocity of the mobile load, the beam rigidity, and the stiffness of supports. A further study leads to the present two new formulas, which directly give displacements at the level of supports according only to the beam rigidity and supports stiffness and to the load value at any time. The result of this analysis shows that several combined factors influence the vibratory behavior of the beam when it is supported on elastically supports, namely the stiffness of the supports, the rigidity of the beam, its length, the value of the mobile load, and its velocity. The evolution of support stiffness leads to classical boundary conditions. A study of coupling between the beam and supports is presented, with the study of the comportment in function to the ratio between the beam rigidity and spring stiffness.

Around 1000 to 4000 units of modest dwelling houses are annually built in Aceh Province. A modest dwelling house is a small type of house with limitations in space planning which is very suitable for small families with middle to lower incomes. This lower middle-class community is a group of people who are very vulnerable and will be very severely affected when a disaster occurs. A modest dwelling house is a one-story building with simple construction and structure in its physical form. On the other hand, Aceh is also one area that is very prone to earthquake disasters from along the subduction zone and Sumatran Fault. Therefore, measuring the frequency of a modest dwelling house is crucial to understanding all house elements' conditions. It is essential to estimate the integrity and safety of the house after an earthquake occurs. The method used in this research is using the field experiment method in the form of measuring the natural response of the building to vibration based on microtremor data. This study uses a seismometer. The data is stored in a data logger. The seismometer is placed on the floor of the house. Data collection is carried out when no major activities are around the house. Measurements were carried out for a minimum of 60 minutes. Computer analysis with specific parameters obtained using Geopsy software. The result of this study indicates that the dominant frequency of modest dwelling houses measured is around 2.99 Hz. The analysis results from the field experiment were validated using pushover analysis of the detailed engineering design data. The modeling results show that in the x-axis direction (parallel to the direction of the building), the frequency obtained is 7.14 Hz. Pushover analysis on the model with the y-axis direction (parallel to the side of the building) obtained a frequency of 7.46 Hz. This validation shows a huge difference between the frequency of field measurement results and computer modeling results. Many factors, including decreasing or degrading the concrete construction quality in the field, can cause this gap.

Aceh is justified as one of the Indonesian provinces with a high level of seismicity. This high seismicity certainly has a severe negative impact on various aspects of human life in Aceh and the surrounding areas. Various types of efforts must be carried out to solve and mitigate the problem caused by each earthquake in Aceh and the surrounding areas. One aspect that can be carried out to minimize the hazards of seismic activity is the characterization of the source of the earthquake. This characterization can be used for various purposes for further seismic-related studies, including for studying seismic hazard analysis using the probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) method. This research aims to determine the characteristics of the seismic source zones for Aceh and the surrounding areas. Based on the geological setting and seismicity catalog data of Aceh and the surrounding areas, a new model of seismic source zones was developed. This new model proposed for Aceh and the surrounding areas is divided into four zones: shallow background seismic source zones (divided into two source zones), two deep background seismic source zones, two megathrust source zones, and one fault zone, namely the Sumatra fault zone. The results of this study suggest that Zone I and Zone II of shallow background seismic source zones have a-values of 2.36 and 4.7, b-values of 0.545, and Mmax of 7.7 and 6.8. Deep background seismic source zone I has an a-value of 4.43 and a b-value of 0.9 with a maximum magnitude of 7 Mw. Meanwhile, deep background seismic source zone II has an a-value of 3.28 and a b-value of 0.755 with a maximum magnitude of 6.1 Mw. Megathrust seismic source zone I has an a-value of 3.53 and a b-value of 0.691 with a Mmax of 7.7 Mw. Meanwhile, the megathrust seismic source zone II has an a-value of 3.81 and a b-value of 0.702 with a Mmax of 7.1 Mw. Sumatra fault seismic source zone has an a-value of 2.88 and a b-value of 0.615 with a Mmax of 6.7 Mw.

The population growth rate is a factor that causes changes in land use that impact land ecology due to increased population activities related to social, economic, and cultural aspects. Land use change aims to develop facilities and infrastructure to meet the population's needs. This research seeks to interpret land-use changes in 1999, 2008, and 2019 and predict land use in the Peusangan watershed in 2030. The map overlay method analyzes land use change in 1999-2008, 2008-2019, and 2019-2030. In predicting land use, this study uses the Cellular Automata approach. The results of the analysis specifically show that the trend of land use change until 2030 is a decrease in the area of forest land use covering an area of 11,014 ha (4.27%), open land covering an area of 31 ha (0.01%), shrubs 6,083 ha (2.36%), and water bodies covering an area of 459 ha (0.18%). On the other hand, it is predicted that in 2030 the Peusangan watershed will see the most significant increase in land use for plantations of 14,225 ha (5.52%), followed by land use of 1,664 ha (0.65%), 817 ha (0.32%), settlements covering 710 ha (0.28%), 132 ha of rice fields (0.05%), and 28 ha of pond land use (0.01%). The results of this study are expected to be input for policymakers regarding land use planning in the Peusangan watershed in the future

The combustion characteristics of fuel are important to understand. Diesel engines can ruin by using fuel from diesel and biodiesel. The characteristics between biodiesel and diesel fuel are different. Diesel fuel has low viscosity, high volatility, low density, and cetane number is around 48. However, biodiesel has high density, low volatile, high viscosity and has higher cetane number than diesel fuel. Using biodiesel can reduce the particulate matter from the engine. This happened because biodiesel has high oxygen content and can reduce emissions. These are some advantages of using biodiesel in diesel engines. In this research, the simulation of the combustion characteristics were investigated by diesel-rk simulation. The fuels are diesel fuel and biodiesel made from soybean methyl ester (SME). In this simulation, pure diesel fuel (DF), SME100, SME20 (20%SME blends to 80%DF) and SME40 (40%SME blends to 60%DF) are investigated. The combustion was set up with 1500, 1800, and 2000 rpm. The results show that in all engine rotations, DF has higher Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC) than SME. Moreover, the NO2 emission from DF is lower than SME. However, the particulate matter in SME40 can reduce up to 16.1% compared to DF. Moreover, the higher the engine rotates, the emissions from NO2 and PM from SME20, SME40, and DF can be reduced. It can be confirmed that the higher rotation in the engine can decrease the emissions in the engine. In addition, biodiesel can be replaced with diesel fuel and it is environmentally friendly.
