The model is based on strip footings on rock masses with two sets of ubiquitous, closed discontinuities. The model considers explicitly the strength of the intact rock and the discontinuities, as well as the number and orientation of the discontinuities. The validation of the model is presented. The parametric study of footings on rock masses with two discontinuity sets having the same strength is performed, and the results are reported graphically in detail. The bearing capacity is controlled primarily by the rock structures (number of discontinuity sets and orientation) and the discontinuity strength, and it is controlled by the intact rock strength for a very limited number of cases. The minimum bearing capacity factor is independent of the intact rock friction angle, but it is a linear function of discontinuity cohesion. The bearing capacity factor is also presented in terms of its ratio to UCS; the ratio for the maximum bearing capacity is rather insignificantly affected by intact rock friction angle, and not linearly correlated to discontinuity cohesion. The bearing capacity factor for rock masses with low discontinuity strengths tends to be more sensitive to any variation in discontinuity orientation. There are some exceptions to the above points, suggesting that there would always be some rock mass conditions leading to unexpected rock footing bearing capacities and therefore good characterization processes of rock masses would always be essential. The practical significant of this study is briefly discussed.","PeriodicalId":439927,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Geotechnical Journal","volume":"110 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117312088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For some engineers, a three-dimensional analysis might not be affordable due to more costly than a two-dimensional analysis. In this study, 2D Finite element analysis – axisymmetric was used to study the piled raft foundation. The pile diameter and pile length were varied to investigate the relation between piled raft coefficient and load-settlement. In addition, the load transfer mechanism between the raft part and the pile part in clayey soils is also examined. The results show the longer the pile and the larger the diameter, the greater the load carried by the pile and the smaller the settlement. Increase in pile length by 5 m, resulting in a load transfer of 2% to 6% from a raft to pile, and reduced settlement by 2% to 3%. Furthermore, A 0.5 m increase in pile diameter results in an 8% to 25% load transfer from a raft to pile, and a 2% to 7% reduction in a settlement. The soil consistency affects the load distribution and settlement of the pile-raft foundation system. The higher the soil consistency, the smaller the amount transferred to the pile, and the higher the effectiveness of the pile in reducing the settlement that occurs.","PeriodicalId":439927,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Geotechnical Journal","volume":"338 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122269142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Earthquake causes an increase in pore-water pressure in soil, reducing soil’s effective stress to zero or near-zero. In this state, the soil loses its strength and behaves like a liquid. This is known as liquefaction. When soil loses its strength, so it also loses its bearing capacity, causing damage or failure to structures. The soil type that is most prone to liquefaction is loose saturated fine sand. Such soil can be found in many of coastal areas in Indonesia. Indonesia is also one of the most earthquake prone countries in the world, hence liquefaction is one of the natural hazards that Indonesia has to face. Earthquake cannot be prevented, and its occurrence cannot be accurately predicted. Fortunately, liquefaction can be prevented by doing soil improvement to increase the sand density. The two most commonly used ground improvement techniques to increase sand density is dynamic-compaction and vibro-compaction. A case study from Aceh province, where both ground improvement techniques were used, is presented in this paper to compare the performance of dynamic compaction and vibro-compaction.","PeriodicalId":439927,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Geotechnical Journal","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127534849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is important to note that the fiber optic cables were installed on the two sides of the bored pile connected up to the pile cap to monitor the stress distribution beneath the pile cap while fiber optic sensors were installed under the pile cap. The ultimate axial bearing capacity expected to be achieved using the pile-pile cap configuration was 190 tons x 250% but failure occurred when the load used was increased to 190% of the design load. Therefore, the strain measurement obtained from the Distributed Fiber Optic Sensor Technology was analyzed to obtain information on the load transfer, pile shortening, mobilized unit skin friction, and mobilized end bearing at the pile-pile cap. The load portion carried out by pile cap was approximated at 6% to 23% from the actual top load applied. It was also discovered that the fiber optic sensors initially installed were able to record the strain caused to the soil by the load on the pile cap. The strain measurements on the soil made the zone of influence due to the loading of the foundation to reach two times the length of the pile while the biggest zone of influence lies at the end of the foundation. From recorded strain, show higher strain from one side compared to the other, this may indicate eccentricity of the load.","PeriodicalId":439927,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Geotechnical Journal","volume":"177 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132720177","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were collected from projects in West Java containing clay shale spread over four rock formations, namely Cihoe (Tpc), Subang (Tms), Cantayan (Mtts/Mttc), and Jatiluhur (Tmj). Each formation has varying mechanical and engineering properties. The value of SPT from Cihoe formation can be categorized in three conditions, SPT < 40, SPT 40-60, and SPT > 60 for fully, highly to moderately, and slightly weathered, respectively. Meanwhile, the value of SPT of Subang formation can be categorized in two conditions, SPT < 60 and SPT >60 for fully and highly weathered, respectively. The data collected were analyzed to determine the Mohr-Coulomb (MC) and Hardening Soil (HS) parameters for Plaxis modeling. The model applied three variations of overburden thickness between 3 times, 6 times, and 9 times the tunnel diameter (3d, 6d, and 9d respectively). The greater the overburden thickness, the lower the surface deformation. The HS model gives better results than the MC model because it considers non-linearity. The minimum effective parameters needed to support tunnel during construction to meet the allowable deformation for 3d overburden conditions and the particular reinforcement system are c' 53kPa, ϕ' 28°, and E'50ref 30,000 kPa. Long-term conditions possess lower stability than short-term, while prolonged deformations increase after construction and provide a rise in tunnel lining stress that needs to be considered in the design stage. The application of 2D tunnel modeling needs to be carefully analyzed, thereby representing the behavior of a continuous or 3D tunnel structure.","PeriodicalId":439927,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Geotechnical Journal","volume":"8 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126021663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is commonly known that residual soil is associated with variability either horizontally or vertically. As a result, it is necessary to have a method to determine the distribution of soil properties to minimize the need to have an excessive amount of boreholes before the commencement of the construction project. This paper presents the suitable interpolation method for the spatial distribution of clay content across Singapore island. The common term related to the spatial distribution of soil properties is called digital soil map. The selection of the best method to generate this map depends on different factors. Therefore, each case requires a thorough evaluation and comparison based on the interpolation results. Singapore's digital elevation model and its boundary were utilized in this study. A digital soil map was developed using ArcGIS software based on two interpolation methods such as ordinary kriging, and the inverse distance weighted method. These two methods were cross-validated and compared based on the regression analysis of the analyses results. Cross-validation was performed to verify the correctness of the mentioned interpolation methods. In order to validate the interpolation results, the mean error and the root mean square error were used. The results suggest that ordinary kriging could be used as a suitable method to generate the spatial distribution of clay content obtained from boreholes in Singapore.","PeriodicalId":439927,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Geotechnical Journal","volume":"754 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117005966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, this study aimed to create a PGA hazard curve useful in improving infrastructure development in Bengkulu's big cities. Data were sourced from the Book of Indonesian Earthquake Hazard and Source 2017. The United States Geological States Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (USGS PSHA) software was modified regarding the Ground Motion Prediction Equation (GMPE) database. The GMPE used in this study are (1) BC Hydro (2012) updated for subduction source; (2) Campbel Bozorgnia (2014), Boore Atkinson (2014) and Chiou Young (2014) for shallow crustal source, and (3) Zhao et al.
