The waste problem continues to be a complex issue. On the one hand, the use of plastic still cannot be abandoned by humans, but on the other hand the waste produced is very difficult to decompose. In Indonesia, in 2015 the amount of waste reached 64 million tons / year. Palm fiber is one of the materials that can be used as composite fiber. In this study, a research will be conducted on the manufacture of paving blocks made from HDPE plastic combined with variations of 0%, 1%, 2% and 3% palm fiber. Plastic waste is melted and put into a mold and then combined with palm fiber. From the test results, the highest compressive strength (2% fiber variation) was 45.91 kg/cm2 and the average compressive strength was 45.28 kg/cm2. This compressive strength is under the minimum compressive strength standard of SNI   Permasalahan sampah masih terus menjadi isu kompleks. Di satu sisi, penggunaan plastik masih belum bisa ditinggalkan manusia, namun di sisi lain sampah yang dihasilkan sangat sulit terurai. Di indonesia, pada tahun 2015 tercatat banyaknya sampah mencapai 64 juta ton/tahun. Ijuk merupakan salah satu material yang dapat digunakan sebagai serat komposit. Pda penelitian ini akan dilakukan penelitian mengenai pembuatan paving block berbahan dasar plastik HDPE yang dikombinasikan dengan variasi serat ijuk 0%, 1%, 2 % dan 3%.

The Oil palm fiber ash has a silica content of 59.1% which make it possible as a partial replacement for cement. This research was aimed to determine the effect of oil palm fiber ash as a partial replacement of cement to compressive strength of paving block. The specimens was made with a size of 20 cm x 10 cm x 6 cm and used a ratio of 1 cement: 3 sand with the variations of the substitution of 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%, 12.5% and 15% of the volume cement. The water requirement used the initial flow test according to SNI 03-6882-2002 with each variation had the same amount of water. Specimens printed were soaked in a soaking tub at the age of 1 day for 12 days, then cut into cubes of 5 cm all side using a grinder. The testing of the compressive strength was done at the age of 14 days. Results of the average compressive strength in variations of 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%, 12.5%, 15% were respectively 15,13 MPa, 15,36 MPa, 16,02 MPa, 12,97 MPa, 12,16 MPa, 10.00 MPa and 8.01 MPa. The test results showed that the highest increase occurred on the replacement variation of 5% (5.85% from normal paving block) and the maximum decrease occurred on the replacement variation of 15% which was equal to - 47.09% from the normal paving block. The results of the research indicate that the partial replacement of cement with oil palm fiber ash above 5% of the cement volume decreased the compressive strength of paving block. Keywords : oil palm fiber ash, compressive strength, paving block.

In recent years, efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions have continued worldwide. In the construction industry, a large amount of CO2 is generated during the production of Portland cement, and various studies are being conducted to reduce the amount of cement and enable the use of cement substitutes. Ferronickel slag is a by-product generated by melting materials such as nickel ore and bituminous coal, which are used as raw materials to produce ferronickel at high temperatures. In this study, we investigated the fluidity, microhydration heat, compressive strength, drying shrinkage, and carbonation characteristics of a ternary cement mortar including ferronickel-slag powder and fly ash. According to the test results, the microhydration heat of the FA20FN00 sample was slightly higher than that of the FA00FN20 sample. The 28-day compressive strength of the FA20FN00 mix was approximately 39.6 MPa, which was higher than that of the other samples, whereas the compressive strength of the FA05FN15 mix including 15% of ferronickel-slag powder was approximately 11.6% lower than that of the FA20FN00 mix. The drying shrinkage of the FA20FN00 sample without ferronickel-slag powder was the highest after 56 days, whereas the FA00FN20 sample without fly ash showed the lowest shrinkage compared to the other mixes.

This study was conducted to determine some physical and mechanical properties of high-strength flowable mortar reinforced with different percentages of palm fiber (0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, and 1.6% as volumetric fractions). The density, compressive strength, flexural strength, and toughness index were tested to determine the mechanical properties of this mortar. Test results illustrate that the inclusion of this fiber reduces the density of mortar. The use of 0.6% of palm fiber increases the compressive strength and flexural strength by about 15.1%, and 16%, respectively; besides, the toughness index (I5) of the high-strength flowable mortar has been significantly enhanced by the use of 1% and more of palm fiber.

Self-compacting concretes (SCC), are hyper-fluid concretes, placed without vibration and are considered as one of the most important innovations of the last decade in construction. SCCs offer many advantages, due to their exceptional characteristics of flow and filling of formwork. Their compositions require a large quantity of fines in order to limit bleeding and segregation. Hence, the use of crushed sand (SC), rich in limestone fines (CF) in the manufacture of self-placing concretes (SCC), can be considered as an alternative source of fillers. These sands reduce the cost of SCC by reducing the high demand for fillers on the one hand and on the other hand, obtaining SCC with good physical and mechanical properties. The main purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of different percentages (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20%) of (CF) in crushed sand on SCC performance. The evolution of the compressive strength, the porosity accessible to water and the migration coefficient of the chloride ions were evaluated. The Okamura method was used for the formulation of all SCC mixtures. Sand/mortar (S/M), water/cement (W / C) ratios and superplasticizer content were kept constant. The results show that (CF) reduce the compressive strength but contribute to the reduction of porosity and migration of chloride ions.

With the rapid development of VDSL (Very high-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line) system, not all the tones have the same margin. In order to cope with the slowly-changing channel, Bit Swap is utilized to swap the tone pairs: the one has a high margin while the other one has a relatively low margin. Although the Bit Swap has been proposed before, there is no Bit Swap established on EOC and the proposed scheme also implements coarse and fine SNR margin tuning. The paper presents the architecture and process of Bit Swap based on EOC and also proposes the method to adjust the margin for tones calculated to be swapped. After thoroughly tested, the test results show that the proposed scheme functions well. Compared with the scheme without Bit Swap, it greatly improves the performance against crosstalk noise and can reduce the RS errors to zero.

AbstractThe application of several stimulation intensities in vestibular testing leads us to some new considerations about the interpretation of vestibular test results. Indeed, in the ordinary testing procedures, only one stimulation intensity is used. The results thus obtained are considered to reflect the functional capacity of the system examined and are taken to be absolute. However, when we apply different intensities, we can see that in not a negligible number of cases, the results are very different and are related to the intensity applied. On the one hand, this provides some interesting supplementary information about vestibular function which can be expressed in the notions of ‘recruitment’ and ‘decruitment’, or rather of ‘labile’ and ‘stable’ function. On the other hand, as we only use one stimulation intensity in our ordinary tests, we have to be very cautious and to consider their results always in relation to the applied stimulus. We should always remember that, in some cases, the results might be different if we were to apply a different intensity. This is also very important when we compare the results of different authors, using different stimulation techniques.

The more widespread use of concrete construction and the increasing scale of construction, the higher the demand for materials used in concrete mixes. One of the innovations of concrete is fiber concrete. Hope the addition of fiber in concrete mixes such as wire fiber to increase the compressive strength value of normal concrete that is often used, so the purpose of this study is to determine the effect of adding wire fiber to the ease of working (workability) of the concrete mixture and to determine the effect of adding wire fiber to concrete compressive strength. In this study, the fiber used is the type of wire fiber with a diameter of 1 mm and a length of 60 mm. Fiber variations used are 0%, 0.4%, 0.6% and 0.8% based on the weight of fresh concrete. Concrete mix (mix design) using SNI 03-2834-2000 about concrete mix planning with a test life of 28 days. The test results showed that the lowest average compressive strength of 12,291 MPa occurred at 0% variation and the highest average compressive strength value of 20,656 MPa at 0.8% fiber variation. The increase is caused by the even distribution of fibers in the concrete produced, the higher the variation that is given by the fiber, the better the fiber spread, from these fibers provide a fairly good contribution to the fiber concrete
