Concrete Mix Design Using Particle Packing Method: Literature Review, Analysis, and Computation

Particle packing technology is used to reduce the amount of cement in concrete by optimizing the concrete mix, resulting in more sustainable concrete. In this study, four different methods were used to determine the distribution of the mixture presented; packing density method, packing density method, IS code method, and packing density method. In the packing density method, the paste content that exceeds the voids will increase along with the increase in the quality of the concrete. In cases of packing density, the cement-water ratio decreases with the quality of the concrete. In the packing of too many trials, trials and tribulations should be carried out to achieve the ratio of water-cement and paste content for a certain grade of concrete. This correlation curve helps reduce the experiments involved in determining the ratio of semen and paste content for a given concrete quality. The water and cement contents for the packing density and the IS code method are almost the same for each particular concrete class. The workability of concrete achieved was more in the packing density method than the IS code method for the same concrete quality, because the water-cement ratio was slightly higher in the packing density method than the IS code method. The required fine aggregate particles are more in terms of packing density method compared to the IS code method. Therefore, more water and cement are required in terms of packing density. The correlation curve can be used to determine the ratio of water-cement and paste the content that exceeds the voids for a certain concrete quality

Crowd Detection Using YOLOv3-Tiny Method and Viola-Jones Algorithm at Mall

Indonesia is one of the countries affected by Covid-19 which is spreading quite fast. Lately, the surge in Covid19 cases in Indonesia is quite high, due to the lack of public awareness of the current health protocols, such as avoiding crowds and keeping a distance. The purpose of this study is to reduce crowds that occur in places with a high risk of crowding, for example in mall. Detection is done by using Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) in the mall and using the YOLOv3-Tiny method and the ViolaJones Algorithm to detect the crowd. To support the research, we use the method of literature study and field observation at Cimahi Mall as one of the malls in the area of Bandung Raya. The results show that to reduce the number of crowds that occur in the mall, crowd detection must be carried out using the YOLOv3-Tiny method and the Viola-Jones Algorithm, and a warning system is given if a crowd is detected in the place. The main concept of this system is crowd detection and warning if there is a crowd located on CCTV in the Mall. In our opinion, when this system is running in malls that occur in Indonesia, the number of positive cases of COVID-19 in Indonesia will decrease because there are no crowds. It can be concluded that this system exists as a precaution against the crowds that often occur today at the mall. Prevention is done by detecting crowds and giving warnings if there is a crowd so that positive cases of COVID-19 in Indonesia will be reduced.
