Abstract

Embankment dams are critical infrastructure requiring comprehensive geological and geotechnical investigation to ensure long-term structural integrity and prevent catastrophic failure. This study presents the results of two-stage Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) investigations conducted at Cabean Dam core zone to characterize shear wave velocity (Vs) profiles and identify weak zones susceptible to seepage and slope instability. The first stage (2022) involved 17 survey lines while the second stage (2025) comprised 11 additional lines targeting critical areas. Shear wave velocity values ranged from 78–756 m/s, indicating significant material heterogeneity. Low Vs anomalies (78–200 m/s) were identified in the upper 0–7 meter depth at survey lines L-01, L-07, L-08, and L-09, correlating with residual soil having high permeability values up to 3.06×10⁻⁴ m/s and Lugeon values reaching 25.34 Lu. Integration of MASW data with borehole logs confirmed material classifications ranging from Site Class E (soft soil) at shallow depths to Site Class B (stiff soil) at greater depths. The identified weak zones pose significant risks for seepage, internal erosion (piping), and slope instability, requiring remedial measures including recompaction, optimized internal drainage design, and enhanced instrumentation monitoring. This research contributes methodological advancement in applying MASW as an integral component of staged investigation protocols for embankment dam projects, particularly for monitoring and refining geological-geotechnical conditions during construction phase. Results serve as a reference for practitioners and researchers in geotechnical dam engineering for improving safety and reliability of embankment dam infrastructure in Indonesia.

Abstract

Slope instability induced by rainfall infiltration and increasing pore-water pressure is a common geotechnical problem in tropical regions. This study evaluates the effectiveness of slope-reinforcement methods applied to the conduit channel slope at Cabean Dam, Central Java, Indonesia. Stability analysis was conducted using three limit-equilibrium methods—Ordinary, Bishop Simplified, and Morgenstern–Price—implemented in SLOPE/W. Three slope conditions were analyzed: the original slope configuration, slope flattening combined with soil nail reinforcement, and slope flattening combined with shotcrete treatment. A sensitivity analysis was performed by varying the pore pressure ratio (Ru) from 0.0 to 0.7 to represent different rainfall infiltration conditions. The results indicate that the initial slope condition is unstable, with safety factors below acceptable engineering standards. Soil nail reinforcement significantly improves slope stability but remains sensitive to increasing pore pressure. The combination of slope flattening and shotcrete treatment provides the highest safety factors and the lowest sensitivity to pore-pressure variations, indicating better performance for slope stabilization in high-rainfall environments.
