Mixed-use building refers to the combination of several different functions in one building, such as residential, office, shopping and recreational functions built on one site. Designing a mixed-use building structure requires careful planning and considers various factors such as functional needs, aesthetics and energy conservation. In addition, the design of mixed use buildings has various different functions in one area. Floor & Dag Plates Using Plain Reinforcing Steel with Quality Fy = 240mpa (Ø8mm). From the design results, several types of plate thicknesses are obtained according to the workloads that must be accommodated on it. the following are the moments acting on the floor & dag plates. reinforcement calculations are carried out using the capacity design method (capacity strength design) in accordance with SNI 2847-2019. The concept of capacity design in question is to control the formation of plastic joints at predetermined locations. The SAP2000 program can directly calculate the feasibility of structural dimensions and the required reinforcement area from the results of the input program process. In the SAP2000 program, the concrete regulations used are concrete regulations in the United States ACI-318-05/IBC 2003 which in some ways differ from concrete regulations in Indonesia SNI 2847-20219. It is necessary to make adjustments to the regulations that apply in Indonesia. The internal force from the SAP2000 program is selected from the loading combination that produces the field moment and the fulcrum moment at the maximum column face plane. The bending reinforcement and shear reinforcement of the beam can be read directly from the output of the SAP2000 program in the form of information on the required reinforcement area.

Panorama Sileme-Leme is a tourist destination in Humbang Hasundutan Regency, precisely in Huta Sileme-Leme, Parsingguran 2 Village, Pollung District which is at an altitude of approximately 1,600 meters above sea level. The beautiful natural panorama with the background ofLake Toba and surrounded by gardens, is very feasible to be used as a place of recreation. However, supporting facilities in this area are not yet adequate to support various recreational activities that have the potential to be carried out in the area. Therefore, it is necessary to do landscapeplanning and provide tourist facilities so that it attracts more tourists to visit. The initial idea of this concept is to plan the Sileme-leme panorama area as an attractive tourist destination and equipped with various supporting facilities for tourist activities. However, because it is located in a hilly area prone to landslides, the concept of pine forest tourism is applied, which in addition to aesthetics and visitor comfort, the main function is to minimize landslides because pine trees are known as good soil retaining vegetation. In addition, the pine forest tourism landscape can also have interesting spots such as tall shady pine trees, restaurants or cafes with pine forest views, and also play areas for children. This helps to enhance visitors' tourism experience and makes them feel close to nature and the beauty of the pine forest. The planningof Sileme-leme Panorama Area uses the concept of a semi pine forest which is added with various tourist facilities. The application of this concept has been considered through various analyses conducted previously. With the application of the semi pine forest concept, it is expected that the natural potential will not change much, and the preservation of nature in this area will be maintained. The existence of this planning isexpected Sileme-leme Panorama to be a tourist attraction that is more developed and more attractive to tourists to visit. In addition, this planning is expected to improve the economy of the local community.

This study investigates the intrinsic relationship between mathematics and classical music by analyzing harmonic patterns in compositions of renowned composers such as Bach, Mozart, and and Beethoven. The research employs an analytical quantitative approach, using statistical tools to map and identify numerical ratios within musical intervals and the relationships between chords. Data were collected from selected musical works to examine interval structures and harmonic progression patterns. Findings reveal that classical music exhibits consistent mathematical patterns, including the octave (2:1), perfect fifth (3:2), and other proportional relationships that form the basis of chord construction and harmonic coherence. These patterns demonstrate that mathematical principles are inherently embedded in musical compositions, allowing for an objective analysis of music structure without diminishing its aesthetic and emotional value. Furthermore, the study highlights the value of an interdisciplinary perspective, combining quantitative analysis with traditional music aesthetics, which provides new insights into understanding compositional techniques and creativity. The results also suggest that recognizing mathematical structures in music can contribute to a deeper understanding of music theory and education, enhancing how students and scholars approach musical analysis. Overall, this research emphasizes that integrating mathematical and artistic perspectives not only supports the scientific study of music but also encourages a holistic appreciation of the creative process, bridging the gap between art and science while offering practical implications for music pedagogy, theory, and performance studies.
