Medical waste management at Idaman Hospital in Banjarbaru during the covid-19 pandemic
Authors: Labaty Silapurna E 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Covid-19 coronavirus spreads among persons via droplets from the nose or mouth of infectious persons when they breathe or cough. These droplets land on a surface, which another person then touches. When that person then touches her eyes, nose or mouth, the virus enters the new host. The virus can also infect directly when the droplets get inhaled by someone near the infected person. Another problem in the covid-19 pandemic is hazardous medical waste, which can become another vector for a viral infection to hospital patients, medical staff, and the community around the hospital. Covid-19-contaminated medical waste consisting of used needles and infusion kits, PPE, masks and gloves, used paper and plastic food containers, bandages and tissue paper increased the waste volume at Idaman Hospital Banjarbaru by 30%, requiring optimization of waste management. This study aims to identify medical waste potentials and impacts at Idaman Hospital in Banjarbaru during the covid-19 pandemic and evaluate covid-19 medical waste management at Idaman Hospital in Banjarbaru. This study utilizes the descriptive observational method by collecting secondary data. According to the types of waste, the study indicates that medical waste management at Idaman Hospital in Banjarbaru already meets the Regulation of Environment and Forestry Minister Number 56-year 2015, including reducing and separating hazardous and poisonous waste storage, transportation, and management.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Deaths due to the COVID-19 pandemic in East Sumba raised the problem of limited burial grounds, so the government tried to provide a new location. The Hambala Special Purpose Forest Area (KHDTK) has a potential land to be used as a burial site by MoEF Regulation No.P.27/2018. The study analyzed the suitability of burial grounds using a GIS-based multi-criteria approach. Criteria and indicators cover the legality (license status of forests, policies), management (master plans, detailed plans), technical (human resources, infrastructure), socio-economic (pandemic, grave needs, economic impacts, culture, conflict), and ecological (topography, land cover, distance to water sources and settlements). A multi-criteria evaluation of the proposed use of KHDTK covering an area of 17 ha resulted in three scenarios of the burial land suitability map, namely the ‘strict scenario’ covering an area of 1.5 hectares; moderate scenario covering an area of 6.5 hectares, and ‘scenario loosely’ covering an area of 14.2 hectares. The third scenario as a reference for managers and stakeholders is lend-use of Forest Areas for burial grounds by government cooperation mechanism.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
In the analysis of construction operations, Learning Curves (LC) are considered one of the most important factors that determines the on-site variation in the productivity, which is usually considered in the construction projects during the estimation and planning stage. This research attempts to assess the suitability of LC models for the analysis of the learning phenomenon using productivity data for fairly complicated construction operations concerning the Diaphragm Wall and Pile Construction process from large-scale construction projects. In this study, the role of different LC models (i.e., Wright or Straight Line, Quadratic, Cubic, Knecht or Combined Exponential Log-linear, Stanford B) is investigated by the comparison of their outcomes through the utilization of cumulative productivity data of the activities involved in the Diaphragm Wall and Pile Construction process. The two main research objectives are (i) the investigation of the model which is the best bit for the historical productivity data of the completed construction activities (ii) an endeavour is formed to work out which model predicts the future performance better. The best suited LC model is predicted based on the least deviation from the yielded results of each model with respect to the actual construction data. Analysis of the cumulative average productivity data predicted that the Knecht or Combined Exponential Log-linear Model best fits both the complete Diaphragm Wall and Pile Construction Process in both the cases of fitting Historical data and in predicting future performance.

Abstract
Groundwater is considered as a precious natural resource which serves as the main source of agriculture and domestic purposes. Kerala state is blessed with around 3000mm rainfall annually because of two prominent monsoon. But the available water is insufficient to meet the demand of people. Increase in population and water demand cause threat to overall water balance. Ground water resource must be managed well to overcome these problems. Ground water recharging is a major requirement for sustainable utilization of water resources. It also becomes highly relevant to assess the water recharge zones and to preserve water quality. This study proposes identification of suitable water recharge sites in Karamana river basin, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. Karamana river supplies majority of drinking water in Thiruvananthapuram district. Since its quality is deteriorating day by day, appropriate locations for recharging groundwater is identified using GIS technique. Various thematic maps like soil, slope, drainage, geomorphology and land utilization that affect the groundwater recharge is integrated and weighted overlay analysis is adopted to find the groundwater recharge potential map. Weights are assigned using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) by constructing a pairwise comparison matrix. The result depicts the groundwater recharge potential zones which is divided into very high, high, moderate, low and very low potential areas.

Abstract
The rapid growth of villages and towns affecting natural drainage channels. Inundation of low-lying areas is a common phenomenon especially during rainy seasons in many localities of Narsapur town. Narsapur is considered a census town as well as a municipality situated in Medak district, Telangana State. With the increased demand for a proper drainage system, the Municipal Authorities decided to re-design the Stormwater Drainage System starting with mapping the existing road network and drains. The Narsapur town has 15 revenue wards. Considering the Topography of the town, the entire town was divided into six zones. In this study, the Central Zone of town covering 4 Wards (13, 14, 15, and 8 Partly) is considered for investigation and design of stormwater drainage systems. The entire zone is completely urbanized, and frequent inundation is observed during moderate to heavy rainfall events due to congested and improper drainage disposal system. The study is carried out in five phases viz. Mapping of Road Network, Obtaining Elevations, Mapping Drainage Network, Computation of Peak Discharge, and Design of Stormwater Drainage System. In this study, EPA-SWMM Software is used to build a Hydraulic and Hydrologic Model to analyze the existing drainage system and re-design the stormwater drains to safely discharge flood water without causing inundation in low-lying areas. To validate the results, Manning’s Flow Equation is used to compute the flow carrying capacity of drainage channels.

Abstract
With continuous wear and tear actions of rubber tyre on roads, a pile of waste rubber gets accumulated every year and it is posing severe threats to the environment. Due to high temperature in the summers, the road tends to become brittle, which may cause separation of binder in the bituminous road causing heavy cracks, so usage of wax tends to reduce the formation of cracks and improve the flexibility of road. This study aims to examine the effects on properties of the bitumen-aggregate mixture when the aggregates are partially replaced by similar sizes of waste rubber tyre particles and bitumen in the mix are partially replaced by a crumb waste rubber tyre, with partial addition of wax content in the bituminous samples. For this purpose of testing the suitability of using rubber waste in road pavement, Marshall Stability test is conducted on several bituminous mixtures. Varying percentages of rubber tyre, such as 0%, 5%, 10% and 15%, are used with different percentages of bitumen content (4.0, 4.2, 4.4, and 4.6), and varying percentages of paraffin wax (0-5%) is also added in the specimen with rubber and bitumen. This is utilized in obtaining the optimum content of bitumen required for best suitability of flexible pavement as well as to assess the durability and strength of a pavement. This study is performed on various mixtures, for the values of bulk density, air voids, stability value and flow value. The studies show that bitumen content corresponding to the maximum stability value and maximum bulk specific gravity in bituminous mixture, indicating the optimum bitumen percentage that can be replaced with crumb rubber tyre. This paper discusses the partial replacement of both aggregate and bitumen in the bituminous mixture, containing some percentages of paraffin, which can help in improving the serviceability level and assists in enhancing the flexibility and cohesion of road to resist heavy loadings of vehicle.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
In Recent Trends, buildings are planned to fulfill their architectural and functional requirements but sometimes this creates complexity in its structural strength. One such element is the floating column. It is used to boost Floor Space Index. The Earthquake forces developed at different storey need to be carried down by the shortest path. Discontinuity in the load transfer path leads to poor seismic performance of the structure. Hence as per IS: CODE-1893:2016 clause no-7.1, the Construction of Floating Column is restricted. But there is no limit to research work. The purpose of this research is to analyze the structural irregularity occurring due to floating columns and also to find out the optimized solution to decrease the risk due to earthquake excitation. For Simplicity, the focus of this study is limited to symmetrical G+8 Structure. Finite element Based ETabs software has been used for the analysis. Response spectrum analysis was done in the software. Total ten models are considered with different conditions and their results were compared in terms of Storey displacement, Storey drifts, Base Shear and Overturning moments. All results are compared with the conventional building.

Abstract
Construction Industry indicates development of the country and it helps in the economic growth which adds productivity and quality of life of citizens. During the manufacturing and the construction processes, there is use and combustion of fossil fuels which results total 39% of total carbon footprint. So, studying carbon footprint for construction companies becomes very important. Many different studies are carried out with giving number of alternatives to reduce the amount of carbon footprint. However, this research is focused mainly on multi-storeyed residential building in renowned city in India, shows the carbon emissions produced by a construction activity right from the material production to the actual execution process. Different Greenhouse gases contributing carbon footprint were also studied & incorporated. Various activities accounting to emissions were listed and their carbon footprint value (in the form of Carbon Dioxide equivalent) was calculated by bottom-up method. The manufacturing of various construction materials and usage of electricity during execution phases of a building causes very bad impact on the environment. The greatest contributors of the carbon footprint are onsite electricity use and building materials manufacturing. Therefore, use of green concrete, renewable energy, prefabricated construction materials and low emission construction equipment & vehicles can help in reducing the values of Carbon Footprint by the construction industry.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
The corrosion and maintenance of concrete sewers have always been an area of social as well as financial priority. The corrosion of the concrete sewer system is related to biodegradation of concrete which led to formation of sulphuric acid. The sulphuric acid so produced affects the life span of structure by causing expansion which eventually led to collapse of structure as a whole. The damage is further amplified in case of splashing of waste waters in the sewer network as compared to stagnant waters. In order to access the degree of damage an experimental program was carried out. This paper presents the results of degradation depth of concrete subjected to stagnant and flowing condition of sulphuric acid solution (H2SO4) made with different the water-cement ratio and concentration of sulphuric acid. For this purpose, concrete cubes with various water-cement ratios were made. These cubes were exposed to sulphuric acid solution of pH 1,2,3 and 4. The results revealed that surrounding conditions play one the important role in deciding the erosion depth in addition to water cement ratio. From the experiment it was also affirmed that erosion depth depends on the concentration of the acidic solution.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
A review on Performance Based Plastic Design method (PBPD) for RCC building has been presented in this paper with detailed manner. The first is the study of Performance Based Plastic Design method relating with IS code method. And then secondly review includes the research gap that is to apply this method on Irregular Buildings and to observe the efficiency of Design and Cost analysis comparing to IS code recommendations. When a Structure is designed by IS Code (IS 456: 2000) recommendations, it satisfies the strength as well as serviceability standards. But when an earthquake hits the structure, it leads to collapse which leads to loss of life as well as property. A Recently developed PBPD method can be a promising & efficient seismic design approach as it counteract total collapse of structure. This method is becoming popular due to its total collapse prevention. The paper addressed the relevant examination of provisions as specified in the appropriate design standard and software-based finite element analysis conducted by various authors, as well as a review of the problem, in order to reach a meaningful conclusion for the study. Also, a suggestion for the scope of future development is to study the Design as well as Cost efficiency of Performance Based Plastic Design of Various Irregular RCC buildings which will be a new or important aspect of the study. Despite the fact that fewer papers have been published in this area than in others, this report covers a broad range of research efforts and progress into the New Performance based Plastic Design method & seismic behavior of irregular buildings, demonstrating the field’s growing interest.

Abstract
Engineers are mostly adopting complex non-linear methods to research multi-storey residential apartment structure to withstand earthquake forces. This paper uses much simpler Equivalent Static method to analyse G+5 storey structure to repel earthquake forces using Staad pro software. The seismic analysis is further compared with non-seismic analysis of an equivalent structure using dead load + super load combination. it had been observed that the seismic results obtained consisted of significantly increased maximum moments and shear forces than the non-seismic analysis From past earthquakes it is proved that many of structure ar completely or partly broken because of earthquake. So, it’s a necessity to figure out unstable responses of such structures. The main aim of the present work is to make a comparative study of seismic and non-Seismic structure. The analysis was performed as per the specification of IS codes IS 1893, IS 875, IS 456:2000.
