The Comparison of Bond Strength between Geopolymer Concrete and OPC Concrete for Plain Reinforcing Bars
This paper describes the research on bond behavior of plain reinforcing bars in geopolymer and normal concrete. The geopolymer concrete in this research was made of class F fly ash taken from Tanjung Jati Electric Steam Power Plant (PLTU) with Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) and Sodium Silicate (Na2SiO3) as alkaline activator, added in the mixture. The effect of bar size was studied by varying the bar diameter in range 10 mm to 19 mm. Each bar was casted in the center of concrete blocks made of geopolymer as well as normal concrete. Pull-out tests were carried out to the specimens that have reached 28 days of age. The test results show that the bond behavior of geopolymer concrete differs substantially from normal concrete, where geopolymer concrete has a higher bond strength when compared to normal concrete with identical concrete strengths

Method of Buildings Structural Vulnerability and Geometry Form Designs Evaluation Towards Earthquakes With The SVA Architectural Design
In the process of architectural design, there is no special method employed by architects to evaluate buildings’ structural vulnerability and building geometry form designs towards earthquakes. Therefore, the alternative is adapting the existing method called SVA-Retrofit. JBDPA and Matsutaro Seki developed this method, and then the author adapted this method now called SVA Architectural Design. In the process of adaptation, deep literature review was conducted in order to acquire the adaptation results of the SVA-Architectural Design. These results can furthermore be an early prediction of structural vulnerability toward earthquakes that eventually leads to finding solutions for building designs or conducting detailed analysis done by structure experts
Interval Confinement in Compression Zone to Evaluated Beams Performance Subjected Monotonic Loads
Confinement is one way that can be used to improve the performance of reinforced concrete structures, mainly related to ductility. The parameter of the distance between the confinement becomes an important thing that must be studied its effect on ductility produced by a structural element. This study aims to study the effect of different distance between the confinement in compression zone in the beam at the plastic hinge area to the displacement and the behavior of the beam when it was given monotonic loading. The specimen model which is a simplified form of the plastic hinge area up front column will be fitted with a confinement in the compression zone which is attached to the shear reinforcement with different distances of 0, 70, 125 mm. Also made a beam with a crossties confinement spaced 125 mm for comparison. The presence of a centralized load in the middle of the span is intended to obtain the largest moment and shear areas in the plastic hinge. The test results showed that the installation of 125 mm intervals for confinement in the compression zone resulted in a higher ductility of 11-18% against the beam without confinement than the 70 mm interval which only increased by 2.78%. The hoops confinement produces higher ductility than crossties confinement for the same confinement interval. The increased confinement interval from 70 to 125 mm not yet significantly affect the moment capacity of the beam and the collapse was still dominant in the bending collapse although the distance between the stirrups and the confinement was slightly widened
