Optimizing the Scheduling of PT.X Office Project with Finance-Based Scheduling Concept and Metaheuristic Method

2024-03-06T01:37:49+00:00

Contractors need to pay attention to the financial condition of the company so that the availability of funds to carry out profitable construction operations can be fulfilled. Construction projects require substantial funds, so contractors often utilize bank loan systems. A finance-based scheduling concept is needed to combine scheduling and funding in construction projects. This research seeks to optimize finance-based scheduling with the goal of minimizing interest on contractor loans. The optimization method used is the metaheuristic algorithm Symbiotic Organisms Search (SOS), and the case study used is the construction project of PT.X office building in Surabaya with the aim of providing alternative scheduling scenarios to contractors. The optimization process involves shifting the start time of activities (shift value) to generate new schedules. The results of the optimization process in three payment scenarios were able to produce smaller interest burdens on contractor loans. Additionally, after the optimization process, the contractor's largest loan also decreased, meeting the credit limit set by the bank. The best alternative scenario choices are scenarios 1 and 3, which result in the highest decrease in loan interest burden and the largest decrease in loan amount.

2023-09-18T03:53:17+00:00

When carrying out a simple house construction project, it is crucial to assess the implementation of reinforcing bar detailing for reinforced concrete structural components, as field errors often occur. Inaccuracies in the installation of such reinforcing bar detailing can lead to a decrease in the quality of the house, affecting its earthquake resistance. Based on this, the installation of reinforcing bar detailing must adhere to the applicable standards, namely SNI 2847-2019, SNI 8900-2020, and guidelines issued by the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing. The evaluation of the construction is obtained through a literature review method in line with field case studies. Field observations result in a depiction of errors in the reinforcing bar detailing, such as foundation cutting errors, incorrect stirrup spacing, stirrup bending errors, and the length of reinforcing bar placement in structural elements. Therefore, the reinforcing bar detailing work must be redone and reorganized according to the prevailing standards.

Study of the drainage system evaluation for waterlogging on the Malangbong-Wado Road Section, Garut

2023-09-12T07:07:10+00:00

Heavy rainfall causes drainage channels to handle excess water. Puddles and flooding often occur on the 50-meter section of Malangbong-Wado Road, necessitating an evaluation to ensure the drainage system is functioning properly. This research employs a quantitative approach, processing rainfall through a frequency distribution and testing it using the Chi-Quadrat and Smirnov-Kolmogorov methods. The rational method calculated the rainfall intensity and determined the five-year return period for flood discharge. The analysis results indicate that the drainage channel is unable to accommodate the planned discharge, necessitating an evaluation to ensure that the channel Q (Qs) exceeds the planned Q (Qr) or Qs >Qr. The average channel Q value was 2.51 m3/second, and the plan Q was 1.50 m3/second, according to the results. Thus, the channel, with dimensions of 0.8 meters wide and 1.00 meters high, can accommodate the discharge plan. Simulation results using SWMM V5.1 software demonstrate that channels with these dimensions can accommodate discharge plans.

2024-07-18T08:05:54+00:00

An investigation was carried out in Kakamega County to determine the characteristic grade of eucalyptus and cypress timber species that are commonly used in construction. The physical and mechanical properties of two timber species for structural use; eucalyptus and cypress were determined. Six logs of each species were obtained from different areas of Kakamega County, sliced into 2” by 12” size before seasoning under a shade and their structural strength properties were determined at a moisture content of 12%. These logs were cut into test samples for the determination of their strength properties. A total of 800 samples (100 samples for each test) free from visible defects were used for each species. Basic physical properties of the samples like moisture content and density were determined. Tensile strength, compressive strength parallel the grain, compressive strength perpendicular to the grain, and bending strength were the mechanical strength tests carried out according to Eurocode 5 (1995) and BS 5268 (2002) specifications on Universal Testing Machine (UTM). Results were analyzed statistically using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) while grading was done according to Eurocode 5 (EC5). Cypress was graded into strength class C20 while eucalyptus was graded into strength class D24. Strength class C20 is used in load-bearing structures that require high strength, such as roof trusses and floor systems. D24 is a common structural grade for a variety of structures exposed to high environmental conditions.
