Modern infrastructure development often involves the use of mass concrete in large structural elements such as pile caps and foundations. However, massive concrete volumes trigger a significant temperature increase due to the heat of hydration that is difficult to dissipate, posing a risk of thermal stress and structural cracking. This study aims to analyze the temperature rise behavior of mass concrete and evaluate the effectiveness of combining chilled water and fly ash substitution in minimizing these thermal cracking risks.The research method employs a quantitative approach through laboratory testing at PT Adhimix RMC Plant Kaligawe. Specimen blocks measuring 40 x 40 x 100 cm were divided into three variations: normal concrete (BN), concrete with chilled water and 15% fly ash (BAF), and concrete with 25% fly ash (BF). Temperature was monitored using thermocouples at the core and surface for 14 days, then validated using the Portland Cement Association (PCA) formula. The results indicate that the integration of chilled water with 15% fly ash and the use of 25% fly ash significantly controlled extreme temperature surges at the 5th hour. The combination of chilled water and 15% fly ash produced the lowest core temperature of 37.3°C, far below the control concrete which reached 62.4°C. This proves that the combination of precooling methods and fly ash substitution is effective in reducing the heat of hydration during the early hardening period, although the use of 25% fly ash was found to be more stable in maintaining mass concrete temperature.

The foundation of turbine machines in industrial buildings must be able to withstand static and dynamic loads caused by operational vibrations. Generally, reinforced concrete block foundations are used due to their good stability. However, under certain conditions such as limited land, decreased soil bearing capacity, and the need for structural rehabilitation, their application becomes less effective. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the use of Micropile foundations as an alternative for turbine machine foundations at Candi Baru Sugar Factory, Sidoarjo.The research method includes literature studies, soil data collection through Cone Penetration Test (CPT), machine technical data analysis, and the design and analysis of Micropile foundations. The analysis covers bearing capacity, settlement, dynamic response, pile cap design, and cost estimation.The results indicate that Micropiles with a diameter of 0.20 m, a length of 2 m, five piles, and a pile cap size of 2 m × 2 m × 4.5 m are able to safely and stably support the machine load. In addition, this system is considered more efficient in terms of construction time and implementation. Therefore, Micropile foundations are recommended as an effective and economical alternative for turbine machine foundations.

This study examines the application of double integrals in calculating the volume of cylindrical concrete piles as a basis for estimating material requirements in building foundation structures. The volume calculation was carried out using a double-integral approach in polar coordinates for three pile segments with lengths of 4 m, 3.9 m, and 4 m, each having a diameter of 60 cm. The results were then validated using the standard geometric formula to ensure consistency and mathematical reliability. The obtained concrete volume was subsequently used to estimate material needs based on a 1:1.5:3 mix proportion consisting of cement, sand, and gravel. The findings indicate that double integrals can be effectively applied to generate accurate estimations of both volume and material requirements, supporting logistical planning in construction. This approach also highlights the strong connection between mathematical concepts—particularly multivariable calculus—and practical applications in civil engineering. Furthermore, the study emphasizes that double integrals may serve as a relevant alternative when structural modeling requires deeper analytical exploration or validation beyond conventional geometry. Therefore, the implementation of double integrals not only reinforces theoretical understanding but also enhances precision in evaluating structural components within building foundation planning.

Perhitungan daya dukung pondasi yang akurat menjadi aspek penting dalam memastikan stabilitas dan keamanan struktur bangunan secara keseluruhan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan nilai daya dukung ultimit (Qu) dari pondasi bored pile dengan menggunakan empat pendekatan berbeda, yaitu perhitungan manual menggunakan metode Schmertmann & Nottingham, Mayerhoff (1976), software Allpile, serta hasil uji lapangan dengan PDA (Pile Driving Analyzer). Studi kasus dilakukan pada proyek pembangunan Gedung Fave Hotel yang terletak di Banyumanik, Semarang. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa metode Schmertmann & Nottingham dengan nilai Qu tertinggi sebesar 282,25 ton. Sedangkan nilai terendah berasal dari hasil uji PDA 159,61 ton. Metode Mayerhoff (1976), memberikan nilai sebesar 170,30 ton, sementara Allpile menghasilkan nilai 160,79 ton. Selisih nilai ini disebabkan oleh perbedaan pendekatan dan asumsi yang digunakan oleh masing-masing metode. Secara umum, hasil PDA dianggap paling merepresentasikan kondisi aktual di lapangan karena merupakan hasil uji dinamis langsung pada tiang. Oleh karena itu, pendekatan manual dan software Allpile dapat dijadikan sebagai estimasi awal dalam tahap desain, namun tetap perlu divalidasi melalui pengujian lapangan untuk memperoleh hasil yang lebih realistis dan dapat diandalkan.

This study examines the phenomenon of the religious jargon “Go Berkah No Riba” (Go Blessed, No Interest) as a digital marketing communication strategy employed by entrepreneurs on social media, particularly Facebook. Using a descriptive qualitative approach and visual discourse analysis, this research seeks to understand how the jargon is interpreted, constructed, and widely disseminated in the context of product marketing and business opportunities. The findings indicate that “Go Berkah No Riba” functions not only as a marker of religious identity but also as a rhetorical device that combines spiritual values with aspirations for material success. Visual analysis of promotional materials, such as flyers and Facebook posts, reveals the use of hyperbolic language, symbolic imagery—such as the Kaaba and piles of money—and religious narratives designed to build credibility and persuade potential consumers. The integration of religious elements with economic appeal creates a sharia-compliant business image that simultaneously promises profitability. However, the study also uncovers ambiguity in the use of this jargon. On the one hand, it can strengthen the image of a business operating ethically according to Islamic principles. On the other hand, it risks being exploited merely as a marketing gimmick without a strong foundation in ethical business practices. This creates the potential for a gap between the religious message communicated and the actual business conduct. The findings underscore the importance of critical literacy in understanding religious communication strategies within the digital business sphere. Consistency between religious messaging and real-world business practices is crucial for maintaining consumer trust and avoiding the excessive commodification of religious values. Therefore, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the dynamics of religion-based marketing communication in the era of digital transformation.

The bearing capacity of the soil is the support of the foundation, where the foundation transmits the loads derived from the weight of the building itself and the loads acting on the building to the surrounding soil. The purpose of this paper is to determine the handling of seepage and soil reinforcement needed in the case study of the Margatiga Dam Project, East Lampung. Based on the results of geological investigations, the Margatiga Dam is composed of a quarter-aged rock layer with a fragment composition of fine sand - gravel, with a soft - hard hardness level and the need for foundation repair. Based on the lithological conditions of the Margatiga Dam Extraction Gate foundation and the Spillway building which are composed of relatively deep and quite porous alluvial sand deposits, this causes the curtain grouting results to be ineffective, therefore it is necessary to change the seepage control design from the Grouting Curtain to the boundary wall. Based on the simulation check in Plaxis Software for Seepage and Excavation Staging, processing was carried out using Secant Pile and Soldier Pile with a depth of 30 meters with a stretch of 140 m and overlapping with Curtain Grouting of Embankment Dam on the left side and 5 m right side. Field PMT results showed that the maximum stress of the rock layer under the spillway foundation was 0.016 MPa and 0.630 MPa.    

Labuan Bajo is one of the areas designated as a National Strategic Tourism Area (KSPN) as a recent breakthrough by the government to develop the Labuan Bajo tourist destination. One of the supporting facilities is the construction of a viewing deck structure on the Soekarno-Hatta Road section in Labuan Bajo, NTT. In the construction of the viewing deck structure, several aspects need to be considered in the structural planning. The viewing deck structure consists of the superstructure, namely slab, column, and beam, and the substructure, namely the foundation. This research is an analytical study addressing the issue of bore pile foundation bearing capacity as the substructure of the Labuan Bajo viewing deck structure. Soil investigation data uses Standard Penetration Test (SPT) data. The bearing capacity calculation uses the Meyerhof method and the Reese & Wright method. Based on the analysis results and bearing capacity calculations with a foundation depth of 6 m and a pile diameter of 0.6 m, the bearing capacity based on the Meyerhof method is 56.8 tons, while for the Reese & Wright method it is 38.78 tons, which is the allowable load (Q_allowed) for each single pile. Based on the Reese and Wright bearing capacity calculation, the single pile foundation bearing capacity does not meet the requirements to support the superstructure load where Q_allowed < P, with P being the superstructure load of 42.83 tons. The bearing capacity does not meet the requirements due to negative skin friction in cohesive soil. Based on the Reese & Wright bearing capacity calculation, one pile alone is not sufficient to support the existing load, so pile group efficiency needs to be considered. Based on the pile group efficiency calculation using two piles with the Converse-Labarre method is 74.5 tons, while for the Los Angeles Group method it is 65.92 tons. Based on the pile group bearing capacity calculation, the foundation is safe in supporting the superstructure load.

The foundation is a substructure which functions to support the loads and forces caused by the superstructure (superstructure) to the soil layer which will carry these loads and forces. Deep foundations are usually used to obtain a large enough soil bearing capacity and if the depth of the hard soil is far below the ground surface. The aim of this task is to analyze the bearing capacity of pile foundations using sondir data, standard penetration test (SPT) data, as well as the finite element method using the plaxis program. The method used in this final assignment is by studying literature, then collecting the necessary data, and after that carrying out calculation analysis using existing methods. From the results of the calculations carried out, different results were obtained. Where for sondir data at point S1 obtained Qu =115.80 tons; at point S2 obtained Qu = 104.80 tons; at point S3 obtained Qu = 105.50 tons. Meanwhile, based on SPT data at point BH-01, Qu = 398.23 tons, and using the plaxis program Qu = 425 tons
