Numerous studies found traces of heavy metals along this river, and bioaccumulation became a problem. Several heavy metals contaminating the river were reported to be ingestible by humans; one of which is Copper (Cu). With that, this study investigated Cu dispersion in the downstream area of Boac River. This was first done by coordinating with the “Development of Health Index: Vulnerability to Extreme Environmental Events for Marinduque island.” (D-HIVE) project in collecting the water quality data, rainfall data, and digital elevation models (DEMs). Using the Hydrologic Engineering Center’s River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) 6.2, the analyses were conducted by inputting the collected data. The flood hazard maps showed minimal spread in high-elevation areas and distinct spread in low-lying areas. The highest flood velocity was in the starting and middle points of the watershed, indicating these areas have the highest potential to liftCu content and transport it into the downstream area and floodplain. The spatial variability maps showed that pH increases while Cu content decreases as water flows toward the downstream area. Overall, this study successfully determined the dispersion of Cu along Boac River.","PeriodicalId":14189,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Integrated Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45759032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study is to investigate the carbon emissions from energy use in Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia campus. The main data collection approach for this study is the analysis of technical reports on energy consumption from 2015 to 2021 collected from the Development and Maintenance Center (PPP) and Sustainable Campus Office (SCO). The data collected was analyzed and compared over seven years of data presentation and analysis. The results show that the highest energy consumption has a significant impact on increasing carbon emissions on campus, with the highest emissions in 2015 at 1955.38 tCO2e and the lowest in 2021 at 965.70 tCO2e. On the other hand, based on the collected data, depending on the building, from 2018 to 2020, the highest carbon emission was demonstrated by the Faculty of Technical and Vocational Education (FPTV) with 2,875 tCO2e. As a result, lower energy consumption will lead to less carbon emissions that could create a better environment with less pollution and significantly lower costs.","PeriodicalId":14189,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Integrated Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69735034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent times, significant advancements in computing technology have driven the adoption of finite element analysis (FEA) methodologies that necessitate the integration of constitutive models, includingthe traction-separation relationship derived from cutting-edge fracture mechanics. A physically-based model requires fracture energy values; therefore, a properly measured fracture energy value is essential to exhibit better structure response within FEA models. There are large arrays of parameters involved during the concrete mixture, such as beam size effect, aggregate size, and concrete grade, that affect the flexural resistance of the concrete. The fracture and failure in concrete ahead of the crack tip are represented by fracture energy values where micro-damage events such as interfacial failure, fiber-bridging, and matrix cracking occurred.This study aims to determinethe fracture energy of concrete specimens with combination of notch depth aoat mid-span, design concrete strength as specified in the testing series. Independent compression strength, fcand measured load-displacement profiles underathree-point bendingtest were used to determine fracture energy by incorporating three available fracture energy expressions such as Bazant, Hillerborg,and CEB-FIP models.","PeriodicalId":14189,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Integrated Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46405467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, this study investigates energy dissipation systems, particularly viscous dampers, to solve design and rehabilitation problems of fixed offshore structures. Viscos dampers improve vibrational behaviour and reduce structural response to optimise platform performance. Thus, eliminating costly structural repairs and strengthening components under extreme environmental loads extends structure lifetime. Thus, different viscous damper system configurations are tested to reduce dynamic response under extreme environmental loads in the Persian Gulf. Diagonal and inverted V-shaped brace viscous dampers with ninedifferent arrangements are compared to find the best configuration. The study found that the brace viscous dampers with only three applied dampers at the top three levels are most efficient at mitigating dynamic response. It reduced displacements from level 1 to level 5 by 52% to 64% and connection stresses by 38% to 54%. Finally, viscous dampers reduce structural vibration and provide uniform and constant structural dynamic response, so the oil and gas industry should use them for offshore structure design and rehabilitation.","PeriodicalId":14189,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Integrated Engineering","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135313662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recovery of purified water containing nutrients and other beneficial materials is a critical opportunity that must be taken advantage of. A challenge that needs to be tackled is the necessity for large capacity and high-value management of sludge waste following the water treatment process. The pH level and microwave frequencies influence were used as a starting point for assessing the content of the sludge waste. Microwavenon-destructive testing (MNDT) is a microwave measurement that can be used to determine the dielectric characteristics of materials without destroying or modifying the sample's content. The methodology employs a free-space measurement technique with a frequency range of 8 to 12 GHz (X-band). Through S-parameters acquired, a correlation analysis was done to analyze the effect of frequencies with the sludge waste. A comparative investigation with peat soil samples in establishing if the sludge has similar attributes to normal soil is used to ensure the accuracy of the sludge waste data. It can be determined that the sludge waste has a high signal correlation towards the frequency band 8 GHz to 12 GHz, which is compatible with the MNDT approach. All of the sludge samples had a pH range that is appropriate for agricultural use.","PeriodicalId":14189,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Integrated Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46036619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, the increased demand for concrete leads to an increase in aggregate consumption, which contributing to the depletion of natural resources. To prevent the immense amount of CBA waste and the destruction of natural resources, an initiative has been implemented to replace aggregate with CBA in concrete. The Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams underwent a four-pointbending test. The test was done after 28 days of curingage. Therefore, this study was conducted to study the performance of RC beam incorporating CBA as fine and coarse aggregate replacement. The deflection, maximum load and cracking pattern of RC beam were determined. Beam with 100% coarse coal bottom ash 100% fine coal bottom ash resulted to the maximum load at 88 kN with maximum deflection at 18.87 mm. The RC beams were redesigned using the three-dimensional nonlinear simulation software ABAQUS in enable to identify and compare the simulation and experimental findings.
