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

Use of Prefabricated Vertical Drain (PVDs) to improve ultra-soft soil by vacuum preloading method on laboratory scale is described in this study. The laboratory model will be carried out in a vacuum chamber 1m x 1m x 1m with 1 (one) PVD in the middle which is connected to the vacuum pump. During vacuum preloading test, 3 (three) units of settlement plates will be monitored until 60 days. As a comparison data on soil conditions, a test will be carried out by taking 2 (two) samples to see the distribution of differences in the properties condition of ultra-soft soil before and after vacuuming and its relationship with the settlement. Laboratory test shown properties changes which the soil nearest PVD has the bigger changes compared to soil farther from PVD. The change in unit weight (g) based on the sample distance of 15cm and 45cm from the PVD was an increase of 16.47% and 9.59%, respectively. While the change in natural water content (wn) was down 92.81% and 34.47% respectively. Meanwhile, the results of the permeability test showed a decrease of 97.05% and 85.77%, respectively.

Abstract

Slope Stability Radar (SSR) is a geotechnical monitoring tool, an array of sophisticated technology which is equipped with features that could be utilized in dynamic mining conditions. One of the features is called coherence and is used to track the impact of blasting activity around the research area. Historically, it has been recorded that fall-of-ground event (bench-scale failure) had occurred after blasting activity around the research area. These two events were recorded perfectly by utilizing coherence attribute measurement, including the time of event and the dimension of the impact area. Therefore, the application of a coherence alarm could be one of the solutions to provide an immediate response to track the blasting impact and provide periodic notification in case of the similar things occurred in the future. There are two alarm parameters in which required some adjustments due to the sensitivity of coherence attribute. The first one, is the alarm mask. It masks out the expected unwanted triggering alarm, such as vegetation area, ramp, machinery area, and mining infrastructures. The second one is the alarm threshold. It requires precise adjustment to maximize the alarm function during the rainfall event. The analysis resulting the threshold values advocated for the alarm are 12 contiguous pixels, 2 scans, and 0.6 coherence value. The alarm configuration parameters are then applied to the coherence alarm system. Notwithstanding that matter, the alarm configuration requires periodic adjustments, accompanied by the competencies of the person in charge for the SSR to be able to comprehensively understand the concept of coherence and its implementation in the research area.

Abstract

Liquefaction is a process in which pore-water pressure generated in the soil, usually by earthquake, is equal or almost equal to the total stress in the soil. This process reduces the effective stress to zero or near-zero, leading to reduction in shear strength and stiffness of soil. Hence, when liquefaction occurs, structures above and within the liquified soil, buildings, bridges, tunnels, docks, underground pipelines, and many other structures can get damaged. Soils which are susceptible to liquefaction are granular soil such as sand and silt. One of the methods that can be adopted to prevent liquefaction is soybean crude urease-calcite precipitation. This method uses urease enzyme in soybean crude as a biocatalyst to hydrolyze urea to produce carbonate ions and ammonium ions. In the presence of calcium ions, the carbonate ions react to produce calcium carbonate (calcite) precipitate. This research investigates the applicability of soybean crude urease-calcite precipitation method to improve various liquefiable sandy soil (fine, medium, coarse sand) at different relative density (40-60%). The soil strength after improvement was evaluated by using unconfined compressive strength (UCS) test, while calcite content was measured using acid leaching method. The results of the UCS test and calcite content analysis varies depending on the type of sand and relative density. The UCS value obtained from medium sand is higher than 50 kPa, potentially sufficient to prevent liquefaction. However, treatment on coarse sand failed to develop UCS, whereas treatment on fine sand produces limited UCS (< 10 kPa).

Abstract

The Pasaman earthquake which occurred on 25 February 2022, with a magnitude of 6.2, caused casualties and infrastructure damage. Vulnerability identification determines the potential extent to which a system or unit tends to be damaged. Vulnerability identification in this study was carried out based on four vulnerability indicators, namely: rate of soil movement from satellite image processing, soil type classification based on Vs30, corrected isoseismal shakemap, and residential area maps. Each indicator, with their respective weightage, is then scored and summed to evaluate the vulnerability of areas in the vicinity of Pasaman earthquake. The processing of Sentinel-1 SLC satellite data using the advanced Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (DInSAR) produces a deformation rate around area of epicenter. Areas that have high vulnerability generally have a value of ground movement rate in the form of subsidence above 5 cm/year. These areas were predominantly residential and experienced significant damage during the earthquake. The soil type in these regions was classified as medium soil, and the intensity of shocks during the earthquake was categorized as VI MMI or higher. This study was conducted in the area near the epicenter of the Pasaman earthquake, such as in the district Pasaman, Bonjol, Pasaman, Palembaya, and Lubuk Basung. A study of disaster vulnerability identification is carried out to reduce the losses and minimizing the exposure of the population to disasters. The results of vulnerability identification can be used as part of education and literacy to reduce the risk of earthquake disasters.

Abstract

Shallow foundation is the preferred foundation whenever possible, as it is economically more feasible compared to deep foundation. The design method for shallow foundation has long been established by Terzaghi. The Terzaghi’s bearing capacity equation requires soil strength parameters for its calculation. To obtain accurate results, undisturbed sample for laboratory testing is necessary. However, depending on the accuracy of soil sampling and laboratory testing, the results can have large inaccuracy. The in-situ determination of shallow foundation can be carried out by plate loading test. It is a well-established test which was standardized by British Standards in 1990 and American Society for Testing and Materials in 1994. The testing method is simple, and the standards provide flexibility in the execution of the test. Unfortunately, this flexibility can cause mistakes in the execution of the test, as practitioners can be selective in choosing the test procedure to minimize the test duration and/or cost. These mistakes can cause the plate load test results to be unusable or lead to erroneous results. This paper aims to address common mistakes in execution of plate load test.

Abstract

Liquefaction is a phenomenon when soil behaves like liquid during earthquake, and only occurs in saturated loose fine sand with grain size ranging from 0.2 to 0.02 mm. Liquefaction can be devastating, causing failure and deformation to buildings, roads, and bridges. Thus, research study on the application of grouting method for improving liquefiable fine sand in the laboratory is carried out. Grouting is a soil improvement method that injects cementing agent into a soil mass. After the grout has solidified, the soil density and consistency of the soil will improve. This research proves, mathematically and experimentally, that grouting can improve the density and consistency of liquefiable sand, thus reducing the liquefaction potential. Grouting liquefiable saturated sand basically compacts the soil, leading to consolidation as soil pore-water is dissipated during the grouting process. It is found that the volume of grout per unit volume of soil mass treated is directly proportional with the reduction of void ratio and increase in soil density.
