Numerical Investigation into Size Effect on Prestressed Concrete Beam Resistance to Shear Tension Cracking
In the past, many researches on the topic of size effect on concrete structures were mainly focused on the phenomenon of size effect in flexural cracking. The result of those studies can be found today in the concrete structure design specifications of well-known building codes, such as the Eurocode. Nevertheless, the inclusions of the results of those studies into the design specifications are still minimum and therefore, it is necessary to conduct more studies on size effect, especially on other types of cracking. In this thesis, an investigation focused on the size effect in shear tension cracking at prestressed concrete beams was conducted. The model used for investigating the size effect is a prediction that a shear tension crack will occur when the principal tensile stress at a certain location on the web of a beam is equal to the concrete mean uniaxial tensile strength (σ1 = fctm). The investigation was conducted by studying premature shear tension cracking on a group of several I-profile prestressed reinforced concrete beams, called the trusted specimens, which were experimented by Hanson (1964), Choulli (2005), and Elzanaty (1986) under four-point bending tests. These tested beams were numerically investigated using linear elastic finite element analysis (LEFEA) with an aim to find the nearly realistic principal tensile stresses that caused the shear tension crack to initiate below the designated tensile strength of the beams. To study the size effect, the obtained principal tensile stress distributions were analyzed using two new approaches proposed by the author, namely the σ1 area approach and the ratio-of-distances approach. The σ1 area method is a technique for detecting a structural size dependency of the uniaxial tensile strength by comparing rectangles which areas represents a group of σ1 values that have a higher likelihood in achieving the deviated values of fctm and initiate shear tension cracking on the web of the trusted specimens. In contrast, the ratio-of-distances approach investigates the size dependency of the uniaxial tensile strength by observing the locations of σ1max where a shear tension crack initiated in the web of each trusted specimen under an assumption that a shear tension crack is more likely to originate from near the beam neutral axis instead of near the web-flange junction due to the change of thickness at that interface. In conclusion, the result of the investigation was presented. The σ1 area approach confirmed the presence of size effect in shear tension cracking at the trusted specimens by giving a relation that showed a tendency for the smaller specimens to have a higher resistance towards principal tensile stresses compared to the larger specimens. The ratio-of-distances result, on the other hand, implied that the approach has failed to detect the presence of size effect. In that result, the shear cracks from the smaller specimens and the shear cracks from the larger specimens had similar starting points locations, at which the σ1max was located. In addition, several recommendations are provided for future studies on size effect in shear tension cracking. It was recommended to do research this topic on different physical problems and shear tension cracking with the presence of flexural cracks.Civil Engineering | Structural Engineerin

Evaluating strut-and-tie models for concrete elements by nonlinear finite element analysis
The strut-and-tie method (STM) has been acknowledged as one of the most reliable tools for designing discontinuity regions in structural concrete. It is capable of producing safe designs consistently since it was developed as an extension of the lower-bound theorem of plasticity theory. However, to aptly address a physical problem of a concrete element, STM often relies heavily on engineering experience and intuition. It is because the current STM has an inability to be transparent in informing the nonlinear consequences of choosing a certain ST model design, which make the method to be troublesome in more complicated design tasks. In this thesis, a supplementary evaluation technique that employs nonlinear finite element analysis (NLFEA) is proposed as a solution. It is advantageous to incorporate NLFEA because it can provide nonlinear behavior of a structural concrete as objective insights for making a more informed decision in determining a suitable ST model. To incorporate NLFEA to STM, the concept of 'ties-as-extended-rebars' or TER model is introduced. A TER model is a numerical model used to assess the influence of a certain ST model design toward the nonlinear behavior of a concrete element. Through a TER model, an ST model is nonlinearly evaluated as a concrete element with embedded reinforcements. Additionally, to allow the TER model to generate a representative failure, the rebars in the TER model are extended with straight anchorage length. Then, the information generated by the model, i.e. failure mode and ultimate capacity, can be utilized as additional information to find a fitting ST model. To assess its ability, the proposed technique was implemented on six ST models generated for two complex concrete beam elements. The implementation provided the TER model versions of the ST models. At the same time, the experimental results of the ST models were also validated using NLFEA. The validation attempt generated six numerical validation (NV) results, which were then compared with the TER model results. The result of the comparison indicated that five out of six TER models were able to suggest failure mode and ultimate capacity (RTER) that are comparable with the failure mode and ultimate capacity (RNV) from the NV results. In more detail, RNV to RTER ratio of models with similar failure mode has an average of 1.04 and a coefficient of variation of 11.1%, which suggests that the proposed technique can provide representative ultimate capacity value with relatively low variability.Civil Engineering | Structural Engineerin

Urgensi Sumber Daya Alam dalam Ekonomi Islam
In the Koran, nature is described as a book compiled by a wise being, whose every line and word is a sign of the wisdom of its author. Of course, nature can no longer be separated from social life. Economic activities and social life are two interrelated things. In this case, economic activity is a human activity in order to fulfill all his life needs. In general, there are three types of economic activities, namely: production, distribution and consumption. These three things are mutually sustainable. In this modern era, economic activities are greatly influenced by government intervention and policies. Apart from that, this economic activity is influenced by natural resources, human resources, management systems and so on

Kanker can happen to anyone regardless of age groups, including children, then the parents need to know the disease early on. According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO) kanker patients every year in the world to be 6.25 million people, and of that number, 4 percent or 250 thousand patients are children (as per February 2011). Expert systems are computer programs that imitate the reasoning an expert with expertise in a particular area of knowledge (Turban, 1995). Expert systems try to find solutions, providing suggestions or conclusions are consistent with the problems it finds.The author managed to implement an expert system that can cope with the highest degree of confidence or certainty factor data obtained from the results of the consultation with the patient through the certainty factor method. Hope the author, this system can help doctors or people who know even less in making decisions when diagnosing kanker in children
