Abstract

Jatinangor is an area composed of material from volcanic activity, one of the results of volcanic activity is andesite rock. The purpose of this research is to provide information related to the physical and mechanical properties of the lava rock in the Gunung Geulis area so that if there is construction work or rock utilization there is already information about the characteristics of the rock. The method used in this study is a laboratory experiment by conducting tests on 9 selected rock samples. The results of laboratory testing can be concluded the rock in the research area is andesite rocks and have rock physical properties namely Natural density (1.5 – 1.6 gr/cc), Saturated density (1.6 – 1.7 g/cc), Dry Density (1.5 – 1.6 g/cc), Bulk Saturated Surface Dry (SSD) Specific Gravity (2.3 – 2.4), Apparent Specific Gravity (2.5 – 2.7), absorption (3 – 5.9%), Natural moisture content (0.6 – 2.3%),  Porosity (4.9 – 9.4%) and the mechanical properties of the rock, namely the compressive strength of the rock, ranged from 33,099 – 85,096 Mpa. Based on the results and analysis, the mechanical properties of rocks, namely the compressive strength of rocks in the study area, have varying values and varied physical properties of rocks. Physical and mechanical properties of rocks that are correlated based on linear correlation are the compressive strength of rocks with absorption, Natural moisture content, and porosity. These parameters will show the relationship that can affect the compressive strength of rocks. So that when using rock in construction work, mining, the use of rock needs to pay attention to the compressive strength or mechanical properties and physical properties of the rock.

Abstract

The research area around Gunung Geulis has been shifted from agricultural land into residential areas. This transformation eventually will affect the water infiltration process especially throughout the rainy season and can cause the intensity of the erosion rate to go higher. Soil erodibility is defined as the susceptibility of the soil to erosion, as the degree to which a soil is easily eroded or not. This research was conducted to determine the erodibility value in an area of ± 25 km2 which administratively belongs to the Districts of Cimanggung and Jatinangor, Sumedang Regency, West Java Province. The erodibility value can be calculated by the method introduced by Wischmeier and Smith (1978) and it is determined based on several parameters, namely texture of the soil, soil structure, permeability value, and organic (%C) content in a soil sample. The research data was obtained by engineering geological mapping of the distribution of surface soil, taking undisturbed soil samples using the hand auger method, and laboratory tests in the form of testing the physical properties of the soil. Then several laboratory tests are conducted to identify the physical properties of soil such as organic (%C) content analysis using Walkley and Black method, grain size analysis, hydrometer analysis, and permeability analysis using the falling head method. In the research area, the soil type is divided into two units, namely the Low Plasticity Silt Unit and the High Plasticity Silt Unit. Soil erodibility values around Gunung Geulis ranged from 0.118 to 0.514 0,1-ton acre hour/acre foot-ton inch which was included in the classification of a low, medium, moderately high, and high erodibility levels according to US customary dimensions.
