On that event, liquefaction phenomenon has been found on several places, triggering foundation settlements of buildings. Unfortunately, information on Mamuju’s earthquake hazard is still inadequate, while earthquake hazard assessment is urgently needed. Therefore, this study aims to assess liquefaction potential for the city of Mamuju. Serial geotechnical investigations were undertaken through a number of boreholes and N-SPT measurements. For liquefaction assessment, methods of estimating CRRM=7.5 were used including NCEER (1996), Vancouver Task Force (2007), Chinese Code, Japanese Highway Bridge Code, Shibata (1981), Boulanger & Idriss (2014), Cetin et al. (2004), Seed et al. (1983), Tokimatsu & Yoshimi (1983), and Kokusho et al. (1983), while estimation of CSR, the Simplified method (Seed, 1974) was employed. The results show that the coastal areas in the city has a high level of susceptibility to liquefaction. The liquefaction thickness of the ground would be 8 m deep for a 0.367g seismic acceleration (200 years return period earthquake), and 10 – 16 m for 0.414g seismic acceleration (deterministic Mw 7.0 of Fault Mamuju). Ground settlement induced by liquefaction was computed based on Ishihara & Yoshimi (1992) method. It was found that the ground settlement could be 18 – 50 cm, and 31 – 71 cm for each assumed seismic acceleration. The validity of the method used in this study was examined through the comparation of predictive liquefaction thickness and ground settlement based on the empiric methods with the measured ones in the field.","PeriodicalId":439927,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Geotechnical Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114216115","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}

TDGC uses used tires to provide confining pressure and tensile strength, hence improving the soil’s bearing capacity. The solution is applied for a haul road project on Jalan Sikar Penajam Paser. The site is frequently passed by large vehicles such as large trucks for the transportation of wooden logs and other heavy equipment. The tires used for TDGC are used tires of type LT245/75R16, which has a standard rim of 16 mm, a tire width of 248 mm, and an overall diameter of 780 mm. This category of tires has a load index of 1250-1600 kg. The load index is the value representing the tire's capacity to withstand load. The improvement in bearing capacity is evaluated using dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) tests. In addition, the DCP tests were also used to interpret the Californian Bearing Ratio (CBR) values. The results show that without TDGC, the average CBR value is only 4.7%. In contrast, with TDGC, the average CBR increased to 17.2%, an increase of 265%. The CBR value obtained with TDGC places the soil into fair category for Subbase course. The average bearing capacity value obtained before TDGC was about 75 kN/m2 and with TDGC, the soil experienced a significant increase in bearing capacity value to 245 kN/m2. The increase of bearing capacity and CBR value from application of TDGC are due to the combination of the tires and stone fill. The tires provide tensile strength to resist lateral soil pressure as well as increased confining pressure, hence increasing the compressive strength.","PeriodicalId":439927,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Geotechnical Journal","volume":"251 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115838041","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}

Its behavior is influenced by moisture content. At high moisture content, expansive clay has a very low bearing capacity and high swelling and shrinkage rate compared to other soil types. This soil expansion causes a heave force on the road pavement. When the force exceeds the strength of the pavement, the pavement will deform and break as the initial damage is created. Therefore, it is critical to investigate the effect of moisture content on the swelling-shrinkage behavior of expansive soil. In this study, soil expansion is numerically predicted using the finite element approach on ABAQUS compared to the laboratory expansion index test. The geometric shape and loading of the soil model are the same as the sample shape and loading of a laboratory expansion index test. The Mohr-Coulomb soil constitutive model with sorption is used to simulate water absorption in partially saturated soils. Coupled wetting liquid flow and porous medium stress analysis are used to simulate swelling and shrinkage. The simulation is divided into two types: geostatic, which simulates soil model loading, and coupled pore fluid, which simulates changes in water content. The simulation is then compared to the laboratory test for validation. The numerical analysis results show that the model's accuracy depends highly on the constitutive soil model, whereas the Mohr-Coulomb model shows a limitation in accuracy with the maximum swelling in the simulation is 21.704%, while the average maximum swelling in laboratory testing is 15.515%.","PeriodicalId":439927,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Geotechnical Journal","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131212282","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}

However, not all soil types have these characteristics, especially soft clay. The problems encountered in soft clay for construction are generally large settlements and low bearing capacity. Overcoming the problem of lack of bearing capacity in soft clay can be done with improvements. A simple improvement is done by the chemical stabilization method. Chemical stabilization is carried out by mixing soft clay and other materials such as pumice powder and wood charcoal powder. Variations in the addition of these materials in the study were 2% and 4% pumice powder and 15%, 20%, and 25% wood charcoal powder. Based on the test results, it was found that the increase in pumice powder and wood charcoal powder caused changes in physical and mechanical parameters in the soil sample. For physical parameters due to the addition of pumice powder and wood charcoal powder, the water content and liquid limit values decreased, while the specific gravity values, plastic limits, and shrinkage limits in the soil samples increased compared to the original soil samples. Meanwhile, the mechanical parameters in terms of the unconfined compressive strength test, due to the addition of pumice powder and wood charcoal powder caused the value of the unconfined compressive strength (qu) and the undrained shear strength (su) to increase. The biggest change in the parameters of the unconfined compressive strength and undrained shear strength of the soil sample was found in the addition of 4% pumice powder and 25% wood charcoal powder with an increase of 15.58% compared to the original soil sample.","PeriodicalId":439927,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Geotechnical Journal","volume":"1 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":"121430095","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 also has compressible soil conditions at a thickness of ± 10 meters and an average N-SPT value ranging from 5 to 12 which indicates a relatively large soil compression. Therefore, it is necessary to design a road embankment that meets the standard safety factor by using lightweight materials to minimize the occurrence of subgrade compression. The effect of gravel and foam mortar materials on the settlement and stability of the embankment was determined using 4 combinations including 100% gravel, 25% foam mortar with 75% gravel, 50% foam mortar with 50% gravel, and 75% foam mortar and 25% gravel. The findings showed that the combination with higher content of foam mortar has a smaller settlement and overall stability considered to be safe. It was discovered that the combination of 75% foam mortar and 25% gravel was able to reduce the settlement up to 0.6 times and increase the average safety factor up to 1.46 times. This combination was found to have the best results with consolidation settlement (Sc) of 1,24 m and Safety Factor (SF) of 1,383 for STA 414+525 while the values for STA 424+576 were 0,42 m and 2,78, respectively.","PeriodicalId":439927,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Geotechnical Journal","volume":"14 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":"127866832","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}

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}

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.
