1. SLIP DISTRIBUTION OF 15TH JANUARY 1934 BIHAR-NEPAL EARTHQUAKE (MW 8.1)

Authors: KESHAV KUMAR SHARMA , KUMAR PALLAV , LAV JOSHI

Abstract: Slip distribution model has been developed for 15th January 1934 Bihar-Nepal earthquake of Mw 8.1 has been developed through stochastic model. The spatial variability of slip on the rupture plane is simulated as a random field with correlation lengths depending on the magnitude of the earthquake. The source dimensions have been computed from the scaling laws of Wells and Coppersmith (1994) and Mai and Beroza (2000). The slip distribution has been obtained from spectral synthesis method of Iguzquiza and Olma (1993) for both the source dimension. The slip distribution of each of the 5 samples has been shown in form of contour plots. The average slip estimated using different source dimension from WC and MB are 8.15 m and 12.96 m respectively. The simulated slip models developed can be used to simulate the displacement time histories of the 1934 Bihar-Nepal earthquake which can be used in seismic hazard studies in future.

2. ANALYSIS OF LATERALLY LOADED (2×2) SQUARE PILE GROUPS USING FINITE ELEMENT METHOD

Authors: ALI H. AL-ABOODI , SARMAD A. ABBAS , WISAM S. AL-REKABI

Abstract: The finite element method, along with an elastoplastic constitutive model, is used to investigate the response of laterally loaded single pile and (2×2) square pile groups in sand. Also, a real practical problem of an on-shore container yard in Um Qaser Port-Basra Province is solved. ABAQUS finite element program is used to analyze the behavior of single pile and (2×2) square pile groups. The pile and the soil around the pile are modeled by three-dimensional brick elements. The pile is modeled as a deformable body with linear elastic material properties, while the soil is modeled as an elasto-plastic Mohr-Columb model continuum material. The software is verified against field load-test measurements and its efficiency is assessed. Successful comparisons between the predicted and measured behaviors are obtained. The effect of pile-soil-pile interaction (group action) is investigated by studying the effect of pile spacing on the behavior (2×2) square pile groups. The lateral pressure dist

3. CONSTRUCTION PROJECT ACCOUNTING SYSTEM BASED ON THE EARNED VALUE MANAGEMENT AND MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING FRAMEWORK IN ROAD AND BRIDGE PROJECT

Authors: IRWAN LIE K W , JOSEFINE ERNESTINE LATUPEIRISSA

Abstract: The main function of the accounting system is to encourage optimal as possible so that the system can generate a variety of structured accounting information that is timely, relevant, and trustworthy. The elements contained in an accounting system are related to each other, so do the data processing from the initial transaction to reporting that can be used as accounting information. The accounting system for the contractor depends on the condition of each contractor and characteristics of projects handled. The accounting system and its relation with Earned Value Management (EVM) started from the project planning phase to the control of the project implementation. The accounting system used to process all transactions that occur both inside and outside the project. Project accounting system is part of a project control. The accounting system is used primarily to obtain data ACWP and BCWP used for the calculation of the performance with the concept of earned value. While Managerial Acco

4. THE IMPROVEMENT OF PHYTOMEDIATION ON THE TREATMENT EFFECTIVENESS OF HEAVY METALS WITH ENERGY SUNFLOWER PLANTS WITH CALCIUM PEROXIDE AND PHYTOHORMONES

Authors: T. Y. YEH

Abstract: Phytomediation is an environmentally friendly green rehabilitation technology that is often incorporated with an application to improve calcium peroxide and phytohormones required for the growth of agricultural plants with the expectation to improve the effectiveness of plant rehabilitation. This study mainly consists of two parts: (1) water culture experiment and (2) pot culture experiment. In the water culture experiment, we attempt to understand the influence of the addition of calcium peroxide, phytohormones (IAA and GA3) and a chelating agent on the growth of sunflower plants. From the growth, we are then able to know the effectiveness of the addition of phytohormones. However, in the pot culture experiment, when hormones and the chelating agent EDTA are introduced to different plant groups at the same time, if the nutrition in the water required by plants is not available, the addition of the hormone cannot negate the toxicity caused by EDTA. In terms of calcium peroxide, due to

5. STUDY OF ALUM SLUDGE AS A SOIL IMPROVER FOR TURMERIC GROWTH

Authors: C. K. HUA , L. M. SIDEK , N. H. HASSAN , N. M. ZAHARI

Abstract: Alum sludge is the by-product resulted from the process in generation when aluminium sulphates are used to promote coagulation in the production of clean drinking water. Excessive of alum sludge is regarded as a waste product and disposed to the landfill can associated financial and environmental cost. This project primarily aimed for potential utilization of alum sludge as soil improver. Turmeric has been chosen as the sample plant to this project. The scope of the project involved the experiment of raw alum sludge and used alum sludge (alum that contain phosphate and nitrate) as a soil improvement by using simple lab scale and equipment to carry out the result of turmeric growth rate. The turmeric growth rate was determined by a few parameters by using different portion of raw alum sludge and used alum sludge. The effects on the plants by using different alum which are raw alum sludge and used alum sludge were successfully compared. Some portion of alum sludge can be used as soil imp
