Study of Gold Mine Tailings Utilization as Fine Aggregate Material for Producing Shotcrete Based on Concept of Green Technology

Shotcrete is concrete that is applied by spraying. The use of shotcrete from year-to-year increase. Because sand is a material for the manufacture of shotcrete, the volume of sand will increase as well. Sand excavation on a large scale can lead to disruption of the environment. Reuse of tailings for shotcrete can reduce the volume of sand used. In addition, utilize waste materials will reduce the contamination surrounding environment. This study is a continuation of previous studies, that the use of tailings as conventional concrete manufacture. The results showed that the optimum tailings substitution of 25% both for conventional concrete or shotcrete. Laboratory studies conducted at the Civil Engineering Laboratory of University of Bandar Lampung and PT Semen Baturaja. Research using a shotcrete equipment done in PT Natarang Mining, Way Linggo, Lampung. Type of admixture used is monomer composite material under the trade name Polcon. The compressive strength achieved in the laboratory was 32.7 MPa when not using Polcon as admixture. When using Polcon, the compressive strength reached 33.5 MPa. Crushing compressive strength of shotcrete in the field trial is 20.3 MPa. For studying the micro structure of tailings, cement, mortar with tailings 100%, 50% and without tailings, the Scanning Electron Microscopy micro photo are done.

Hawkers Empowerment Strategy to Promote Sustainable Economy in Surakarta

Surakarta has implemented strategies of hawkers arrangement, such as relocation and stabilization. However, in 2012, after the arrangement, the number of hawkers increased not only new hawkers but also those who had been arranged before. They returned to illegal location due to perception that their needs were not accommodated. On the other side, hawkers' needs are different depending on their commodity types. The correlation among the characteristics of hawkers by commodity types, hawkers' involvement in arrangement process and the arrangement success, has prompted authors to develop hawkers empowerment strategies in Surakarta, which is adaptive to those components. The analysis was done by frequency distribution and descriptive techniques. The results of this study showed that the arrangement process has not been able to fully empower the hawkers. Strategies are then formulated into five groups according to the type of commodity: non-food, raw-food, consumed-at-place fast food, take-away fast food, and services.

Studi on the Efficiency Using Nature Materials in the Structural Elements of Reinforced Concrete Beam

In general bending loads acting on structural elements of concrete beams are retained by the compression area on its pressured area while its drag area is being ignored. Therefore, it is reasonable if the concrete beam section on drag area is minimized with concrete mass reduction in tensile region by ignoring concrete tensile stress while receiving static loads or the area is filled with styrofoam concrete (styrocon). One effort to make efficient the concrete economic value is by reducing concrete and using styrocon thus natural material component such as sand mining, coarse aggregate, and cement and heavy construction becomes lighter. Styrofoam as waste can be used as filler to reduce the volume of concrete, especially for areas where the concrete section is not working mechanically. In an effort to study the flexural strength of concrete beams external reinforcement and composite Styrofoam filled, then a series of tests performed. Test material is in the form of blocks of 15 cm x 20 cm x 270 cm in dimension. Test material is consisted of concrete quality normal beam of 26.0 MPa with transverse reinforcement as a control of test material and the test material with external transverse reinforcement, as well as truss systems and Styrofoam filled composite. The normal-styrocon composite is beam with Styrofoam variation content. The beam is placed on 2 simple pedestal by 2 point loading method testing. The results indicated that normal concrete beam flexural strength is 36.7 kN, but the external transverse reinforcement beams decreased to 30.6 kN, but the external reinforcement beam truss system reinforcement is relatively equal to 35.8 kN. However, the beams with external reinforcement is susceptible to corrosion, fire resistant, and requires treatment. Therefore styrocon is used on the outer portion with styrofoam content of 30%, 40%, and 50% relatively having flexural strengths of 33.8 kN, 31.0 kN and 29.0 kN, respectively. It can be concluded that the use of normal-styrocon composite concrete beams can make efficient the use of natural materials of the concrete block and to reduce the weight construction as well as has environmental aspects by using the waste.
