This edition was published on June 30, 2024.

The June 2024 edition of the BKD Journal presents various important studies covering technological innovations and disaster mitigation efforts in the field of civil engineering. Studies in this edition include the analysis of the seismic capacity of existing buildings with brick walls and the development of synthetic acceleration time history for class Sc soil in Padang City as a step to improve structural safety against earthquakes. Evaluation of the Parak Jambu drainage system using the EPA-SWMM model and analysis of the impact of series retention ponds on flood peaks in the Batang Kuranji watershed are also highlighted to overcome urban flood problems. In addition, other papers discuss interoperability in the application of Building Information Modeling (BIM), the effect of dilation positions on U-shaped buildings, and strengthening brick houses with ferrocement techniques to encourage community independence in dealing with disasters. The study of the potential of the Kamuyang River spring source using the NRECA method also makes an important contribution to sustainable water resource management.
