The Heaviside function H is defined as 1 when its argument is positive and zero otherwise. Thus, for H ( π t ), the function is 1 when t < π and 0 otherwise. Thus,
0 H ( π t ) e s t d t = 0 π e s t d t = 1 s ( 1 e π t )
Thus, the result is identical to that from the sum H ( t ) H ( t π )

Assuming the unilateral Laplace transform, you can see that L ( t H ( π t ) ) = L ( 1 [ 0 , π ] ). So you need to compute the Laplace transform of a pulse of length π
Similarly, you could note that L ( t H ( π t ) ) = L ( t H ( t ) H ( t π ) )
