Abstract

Permeability is a soil parameter related to the construction industry to understand the processes of infiltration, runoff, and settlement. The risk of testing errors is inevitable in permeability investigations, especially in expansive soils. Trial and error in permeability testing becomes difficult due to soils with small pore sizes and large shrinkage expansion. Several studies related to soil physical properties that affect permeability have been conducted. However, the correlation results obtained still have poor accuracy. Artificial neural networks (ANN) are machine learning systems that can change their structure to solve problems that are included in the system. The use of ANNs in data learning is applied to help the established model predict future output values with a small error value. This research aims to study the correlation between the physical properties of expansive soil that affect its permeability using ANN correlation and then produce correlation equations for future inputs. The research was conducted with input data in the form of soil liquid limit, soil plasticity index (IP), %fine grains, and soil permeability as output data. Results demonstrated a good correlation between soil physical properties and permeability, revealing high accuracy in the output regression equation.

Abstract

Peat soil has high water content and compression, and low bearing capacity. Peat soil stabilization is carried out to increase the bearing capacity, increase the density and strength of the soil. Geopolymer material is one of the materials for soil stabilization derived from basic materials activated with activator solutions such as sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate. This study aims to examine the unconfined compressive strength, average water content, and dry density of peat soil stabilized with a hybrid geopolymer mixture of fly ash and sand. The parameters studied were NaOH molarity of 10M, 12M, and 14M, and silicate modulus (Na2SiO3/NaOH ratio) of 1.5; 2.0; and 2.5. The results of the study showed that the highest unconfined compressive strength was obtained for a mixture with a silicate modulus of 2.5 (GP-12M-Ms2.5), which was 23.68 kPa at 28 days. Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) testing was conducted after the samples were cured for 7, 28, and 56 days. The unconfined compressive strength of the GP-14M-Ms2 mixture with a molarity of 14M was 23.68 kPa at 28 days. This is due to the geopolymerization reaction that releases OH- ions to dissolve silica and alumina in fly ash, and the silicate modulus (Ms) can increase the pH of the geopolymerization and bind soil particles better. The highest dry soil content was produced by the GP-12M-Ms2.5 mixture for 7, 28, and 56 days. Sand used in peat soil stabilization can help increase density because it can fill soil cavities.

Abstract

In geotechnical engineering, professional actions and expert judgment are often essential in soil investigation methods. In lowland and coastal areas, expansive, fine-grained soils and sandy sedimentation lead to reduced bearing capacity, posing significant challenges for sustainable infrastructure development on marginal and degraded lands. Such conditions are prevalent in post-mining or naturally poor coastal environments, necessitating cost-effective and rapid assessment tools. This study modeled a clayey sand mixture using bentonite and kaolin as fine fractions, which exhibit expansive behavior and poor gradation, simulating worst-case geotechnically degraded subgrades. The mechanical behavior of the soil was evaluated through modified compaction, using the CBR test and CPT test as bearing capacity parameters. Soil mixtures were simulated with sand fractions ?65% and bentonite-kaolin compositions with ?50% bentonite. Compaction was modeled using variations in energy compaction and water content under conditions below the maximum dry density. CBR prediction was conducted using Qc as the primary predictor and dry density as a supporting predictor. A hybrid stepwise regression analysis in the         Z-score scale identified positively correlated predictors: +3.00 (Qc), +0.55 (?dry), and +1.28 (Qc ?dry interaction). The regression model showed strong statistical performance with R² = 0.84 and high significance with the lowest p-values. The resulting regression equation offers an applicable approach to rapidly evaluate the bearing capacity of subgrade soils in degraded coastal or marginal conditions, thereby facilitating geotechnical engineering design and initial site assessment crucial for land management and rehabilitation actions.

Abstract

An aerator is a device that utilized to produce dissolved oxygen in water through a diffusion process. Generally, the aerators employed by farmers are operated manually by an operator. The design and utilization of a smart device such as the Zelio Smart Relay is one of the objectives of this article. With the use of smart relays, it is expected that the presence of operator can be eliminated and able to reduce operational cost. The type of aerator discussed in this article is a dual turbine aerator. Each turbine has 6 blades. In order to have the smart relay to operate properly, at least 2 (two) sensors are needed as inputs, namely the light intensity and the temperature sensor. Furthermore, dissolved oxygen levels in water are categorized as high (30 mg / L) if the light intensity is higher than 100,000 lux and the temperature lower than 350 C. It shows in the results that the implementation of aerator has the capabilty to increase dissolved oxygen from 8 mg / L - 14.4 mg / L in 45 minutes, therefore the quantity and the quality of dissolved oxygen required by shrimp farming can be fulfilled properly.BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRACT: Aerator adalah salah satu alat bantu yang berfungsi untuk memproduksi oksigen terlarut dalam air melalui proses difusi. Sampai saat ini, aerator yang dimanfaatkan oleh para petani pada umumnya masih bersifat manual dengan cara dioperasikan dan dikendalikan oleh tanaga operator (manusia). Perancangan dan pemanfaatan teknologi cerdas seperti Zelio Smart Relay merupakan salah satu bahasan pada artikel ini. Dengan adanya pemanfaatan smart relay tersebut diharapkan pekerjaan operator pada pertanian tambak udang dapat dipermudah dan mampu menekan biaya operasional. Jenis aerator yang dibahas pada artikel ini adalah aerator turbine ganda yang memiliki 6 buah sudu di tiap tiap kincirnya. Agar sistem kendali yang dirancang pada smart relay beroperasi dengan baik, maka diperlukan sedikitnya 2 (dua) buah sensor yaitu sensor intensitas cahaya dan sensor suhu yang terukur pada kolam (air). Selanjutnya kadar oksigen terlarut dalam air dikategorikan tinggi (30 mg/L) apabila intensitas cahaya > 100.000 lux dan untuk suhu < 350 C. Dari hasil penerapan aerator di kolam dapat diketahui bahwa aerator dengan penambahan Zelio Smart Relay ini dapat bekerja sesuai dengan perancangan, yaitu dapat meningkatkan oksigen terlarut dari 8 mg/L - 14.4 mg/L dalam 45 menit, dengan demikian kuantitas oksigen terlarut yang dibutuhkan oleh pertanian udang dapat dipenuhi dengan baik.

Abstract

The shear strength and bearing capacity of soil are influenced by its type, mineral composition, and particle size. Both cohesion and the friction angle play significant roles in determining soil strength, while density is crucial for supporting forces. This study examines the effects of grain size, soil minerals, and water content on the shear strength and bearing capacity of soil. Various tests such as California Bearing Ratio, Direct Shear, and Unconfined Compression Test are conducted on sand and clay, compacted with different numbers of strikes and water contents. The study also explores the impact of organic soil and fly ash on shear strength. Additionally, immersion tests are performed to assess how water absorption affects the soil’s properties. Results show that compression at the optimum moisture content (OMC) produces the highest strength, while compression at higher moisture levels results in greater strength loss compared to drier conditions. At a constant water content, increased soil density leads to higher bearing capacity. Conversely, excess water content reduces the soil's strength. The presence of clay, fly ash, and organic material increases water absorption capacity. In sandy soils, the distribution of grain size significantly influences shear behavior. The addition of clay enhances both the friction angle and soil cohesion, while higher fly ash content tends to reduce the friction angle and improve soil cohesion. Interestingly, cohesion appears to be unaffected by the sand's gradation.  Keywords: bearing capacity, clay, fly ash, shear strength, sand.
