Analisis Kerusakan Bangunan Terminal Bandar Udara Internasional Yogyakarta Menggunakan Aplikasi SAP 2000 V22

2026-06-06T10:49:37+07:00

Yogyakarta International Airport (IATA: YIA, ICAO: WAHI) is an airport located in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia, with a terminal area of 219 hectares and a runway measuring 3,250 × 45 meters, capable of accommodating up to 20 million passengers annually. This study analyzes the damage occurring in the airport terminal area using a descriptive qualitative method through field observations and interviews. The observation results indicate that the terminal has experienced minor structural damage. The earthquake-resistant building assessment was conducted by classifying the airport under a seismic spectrum category of 0.8 (Risk Category II according to SNI 1726:2019) with an importance factor (Ie) of 1.0. Structural analysis was performed using SAP2000 V22 software with beam and column dimensions of 40 × 40 cm, concrete compressive strength (f’c) of 35 MPa, and steel yield strength (fy) of 240 MPa. The analysis results demonstrate that the structural design remains feasible as a reference for an earthquake-resistant building, as evidenced by the structural performance graphs generated from SAP2000 V22 calculations. Damage repair methods may include epoxy injection for crack treatment and reconstruction of severely damaged structural elements to ensure the continuity of airport operations and maintain optimal service performance.

Perhitungan Dinding Penahan Tanah Tipe Gravity Wall pada Tanah Pasir Berlanau di Bandara

2026-05-22T15:10:00+07:00

This study primarily aims to calculate and analyze a gravity-type retaining wall designed to support silty sand soil conditions at Zainuddin Abdul Madjid International Airport (BIZAM), Mandalika. The study's background is the need for stable supporting structures at airports, especially in areas where the ground level changes and aircraft operations put dynamic loads on them. The goal is to check how stable a gravity wall is against sliding, tipping over, and holding weight. The method uses field data, laboratory soil parameters, and relevant rules as a guide. It combines quantitative analysis with manual calculations. The analysis shows that a gravity wall that is three meters high and three meters wide at the base meets the safety factor requirements for sliding (FS = 2.0), overturning (FS = 2.4), and bearing capacity (FS = 3.9). Based on these results, the design is structurally sound for the type of soil specified. However, the design of the drainage system requires special attention because silty sand loses shear strength when it gets wet. The study's results show that gravity retaining walls can be put up successfully at airports with soft subgrade conditions, as long as safety and geotechnical data are carefully considered.

Air Traffic Controllers (ATC) bear significant responsibility for ensuring the safety and efficiency of flight operations. This article presents a literature review of five scientific journals examining controller performance, cognitive workload, and situational awareness (SA) in air traffic control. The study aims to identify the key factors influencing controller performance and their implications for ATC education and training. Literature selection was conducted through searches in Google Scholar, Scopus, and IEEE Xplore databases using the keywords “air traffic controller,” “cognitive workload,” “situational awareness,” and “ATC performance.” The inclusion criteria comprised English-language articles published between 2010 and 2024 and available in full-text format. From the search results, five articles were selected based on topic relevance, methodological quality, and representation of diverse approaches to the main research variables. The study employed a thematic analysis of the relevant literature from the five selected sources. The findings indicate that cognitive workload and situational awareness are the primary determinants of ATC decision-making, with additional influences arising from organizational factors such as compensation and motivation. Simulation-based training that emphasizes adaptation to changing workload demands and increasing automation is essential for enhancing controller competence. The integration of mental workload management modules, situational awareness training, and the strengthening of organizational factors within ATC curricula can improve the quality of education and operational readiness of controllers.

Optimizing Human Resources for Air Traffic Control (ATC) is crucial for maintaining the safety and smooth flow of flight operations in Indonesia. This study presents a critical review of air traffic controller performance, focusing on three main pillars: workload, quality of training, and psychological well-being. The research aims to analyze the role of human factors in aviation safety by examining aspects of competency, communication, decision-making, work fatigue, and safety culture within the operational environment. The research methodology utilizes a literature study from various sources such as accident investigation reports, international aviation regulations, and results from previous empirical studies on controller stress and workload, as well as international guidelines related to human factors in ATC. The analysis combines literature review, comparison of training policies, and synthesis of field research findings to identify competency gaps, weaknesses in training programs, and the impact of workload on controller performance and quality of life. The results indicate that a mismatch between the training curriculum and operational demands, as well as high mental workload without adequate stress management compensation, is significantly related to a decline in performance and an increase in safety risks. This article recommends an integrated policy package: revision of curriculum standards based on real-world tasks, increased frequency and quality of simulation training, a workload and mental health management program, and strengthening performance monitoring mechanisms based on safety indicators. The implementation of these recommendations is expected to enhance the readiness of ATC human resources and minimize potential disruptions to flight safety.
