As all geotechnical engineers are aware of, soil behaviour can vary significantly from places to places. Design methodologies available in existing literature, especially on correlations of soil investigation and soil parameters, may not apply to local conditions. It is necessary to tailor well-established knowledge to the geotechnical problems related to Indonesia. The Indonesian Geotechnical Journal aims to address this problem by providing an open-access peer-reviewed journal. This journal provides a platform for authors to publish their state-of-the-art knowledge for practicing engineers as well as the academic society. Although the Indonesian Geotechnical Journal is intended to provide an outlet for Indonesia geotechnical research, suitable contributions from other countries will be most welcomed. Indonesia has a very complex geology, a meeting point of two continental plates and two oceanic plates. This means that the soil conditions in different part of Indonesia can vary greatly. Being at the meeting point of tectonic plates also mean that Indonesia, in addition to earthquake prone, has hilly and mountainous terrains. Further aggravating the conditions, Indonesia has a tropical climate, meaning high rainfall. Hilly terrain with high rainfall and earthquake is a recipe for slope failures. Mitigation of slope failure is something sought throughout Indonesia. Indonesia also has significant soft soil problems, with the fast-paced development of infrastructure in the recent years, various ground improvement techniques were adopted. The success and not so successful stories can be shared through the Indonesian Geotechnical Journal. Allowing exchange of knowledge and experience to enable engineers to build a better Indonesia. The scopes of topics include soil and rock mechanics, material properties and fundamental behaviour, site characterization, foundations, excavations, tunnels, dams and embankments, slopes, landslides, geological and rock engineering, ground improvement, bio-geotechnics, Geotechnical earthquake engineering, liquefactions, waste management, geosynthetics, offshore engineering, risk and reliability applications, physical and numerical modelling, and case-history.

Abstract

Expansive soil is one of the factors that cause road damage in Indonesia. 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%.

Abstract

Mamuju is the capital city of West Sulawesi Province which has experienced severe damages along its infrastructures due to Majene Earthquake Mw. 6.2 on January 15th 2021. 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.

Abstract

This paper showcases a potential solution to improve soil bearing capacity using tire-derived-geo-cylinder (TDGC). 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.

Abstract

Large vibrating machines are integral part of industrial facility. This paper describes the case example of excessive vibration, encountered in one of the machine foundations in such facility, as well as the corresponding rectification works. This vibrating machine was built on shallow foundation sitting on compacted sand fill layer; the foundation self-weight is more than eight (8) times of the equipment weight. The block foundation dimension is about 7.0 x 1.7 x 1.7 m3. The vibrating machine frequency (which sits above the foundation) is 450 rpm, with a relatively large impulsive cyclic load. In this paper, firstly, the potential root cause of this vibration issue is explored. Thereafter, considerations for the rectification works are described; in this case, a permeation grouting technique, using low-viscosity cement grout is chosen. The work method for this ground improvement works, including the completion criteria are described. Post-improvement vibration measurement indicates that the measured vibration is within the accepted vibration limit, indicating a successful improvement work.

Abstract

Recycled concrete aggregate, that are easily found from destruction waste materials, has been used in the construction industry as an alternative for coarse aggregate component in concrete or as backfilling material in retaining structure. This paper presents the results of study on the use of the recycled concrete aggregate in the design of a newly developed sustainable retaining wall i.e., Geobarrier system (GBS). The GBS system was developed based on capillary barrier to limit water infiltration into the backfill soil while vegetative cover is used as provisions of the sustainable construction concept. Two types of concrete aggregate are used as components of capillary barrier i.e., fine and coarse aggregate. Laboratory test result shows the recycled concrete has similar mechanical and hydraulic properties as the natural aggregate; thus, can be used as alternative material. Stability and deformation analyses were carried out for 4 m high wall with 70o inclination. Results indicate that the retaining wall meet the requirement of the code of practice according to Eurocode 7 in terms of Factor of safety. Deformation analysis shows that the maximum deformation was only 4.5 mm at the bottom of the GBS wall.
