Abstract

Bandung City, the capital of West Java Province in Indonesia, has changed its physical face rapidly due to the many constructions of office buildings, hotels, and other facilities until now. To avoid the instability of existing buildings and for building construction in the future, knowledge of the subsurface conditions in the city must be enhanced. A sudden soil collapse in the yard of the PAG Building occurred in early 2018 and resulted in a sinkhole with a diameter of 5 m, which revealed a historic wastewater tunnel structure in the subsurface. Non-invasive, low-cost, and time-effective geophysical methods to solve those problems are proposed. Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT), widely applied to identify artificial objects underground, came to be used for these purposes. A research to know the suitability of both methods for application began with numerical simulation, followed by field measurement on 4 GPR and ERT lines and analysis of each method. The results show that GPR data, through both numerical and field data,  could identify and locate the tunnel in a radargram due to its hyperbola shape, whereas ERT data provided the property contrast between the tunnel and its host. The results suggest that GPR and ERT techniques are effective for revealing water tunnels in the study area with a maximum depth of 1.8 m and a 65% reduction in size. These findings can be used as a guide to using both methods to reveal the water tunnel network in the central part of Bandung City for sustainable urban planning.

Abstract

Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN), yang akan ditetapkan sebagai pusat pemerintahan baru Indonesia di Kalimantan Timur, saat ini berada dalam tahap awal pengembangan infrastruktur yang mencakup kebutuhan mendasar seperti transportasi, utilitas publik, dan fasilitas penunjang lainnya. Kawasan Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN) menuntut kajian geoteknik yang komprehensif untuk menjamin daya dukung tanah dan stabilitas struktur jalan tol. Untuk mendukung perencanaan dan pelaksanaan konstruksi secara aman dan efisien, pemahaman mengenai karakteristik geoteknik lapisan bawah permukaan menjadi sangat penting. Metode Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) merupakan salah satu pendekatan geofisika non-destruktif yang efektif dalam mengidentifikasi distribusi kecepatan gelombang geser (Vs). Prosedur MASW mencakup akuisisi data seismik, transformasi Fourier, pembentukan kurva dispersi frekuensi-kecepatan, serta inversi untuk menghasilkan distribusi Vs secara vertikal dan lateral. Berdasarkan distribusi nilai Vs, hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa kecepatan gelombang geser di lokasi penelitian terdiri dari 4 lapisan utama, yaitu clay atau tanah lempung lunak (140-150 m/s), silty clay (150-200 m/s), medium to dense sands (200-400 m/s) dan gravels (>400 m/s). Analisis Vs yang dihasilkan memberikan informasi kritis untuk menentukan fondasi dapat dibangun sekiranya pada kedalaman >10 m. Dengan demikian, penerapan MASW diproyeksikan mampu menjembatani kesenjangan data geoteknik dan mendukung perencanaan konstruksi jalan tol di IKN secara lebih efektif dan efisien.

Abstract

The new capital city of Indonesia, Nusantara, in East Kalimantan, is undergoing enormous infrastructural development in Indonesia. Understanding the condition of the soil, sediment, and hardrock layers at this location is critical for geotechnical working principles. In this study, the first arrival P-wave tomography method was used to determine the distribution of P-wave velocity and geotechnical parameters (e.g. porosity, density, void ratio) to better understand the condition of the rock layers at this location. This study involved the use of seismic refraction tomography data consisting of forty-eight channels with a distance between geophones of 1 m, and a source in the form of a sledgehammer weighing 3 kg with a separation distance of 3 m. The natural frequency of the geophones used was 4.5 Hz with a recording time of 1.0 sec. Results of this investigation reveal a thinning hardrock layer from the south to the north, with a thickness ranging from 7 to 16 m correlated to consolidated alluvium. Moreover, the geotechnical parameter of sediment layers, top soil (clayey soil) and unconsolidated alluvium, has a density value range from 1.6 to 1.8 g/cm³, porosity 0.31 to 0.38, and void ratio 0.44 to 0.59. These findings show that the soil layer in the south to the middle of line profile of the studied area has low to medium compaction, requiring soil hardening activities (mechanical compaction) for infrastructure construction. Finally, the findings of this study are expected to help with infrastructure development in the IKN by utilizing geophysical technique.

Abstract

This study aims to identify aquifer characteristics and estimate groundwater volume in Tempilang District, West Bangka Regency, to support water demand resulting from oil palm plantation activities. The method applied was the geoelectrical Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) using the Schlumberger configuration at ten measurement points, consisting of six points within the Alluvium Formation (Qa) and four points within the Tanjung Genting Formation (TRt). Apparent resistivity data were processed using least-square inversion with IPI2WIN software to obtain true resistivity values, which were subsequently interpreted through correlation with borehole data and previous studies. The results indicate that the main aquifer within the Alluvium Formation is developed in sand layers with varying thicknesses, approximately 32 m in the southern zone, 21 m in the central zone, and 36 m in the northern zone, with an average thickness of 27.5 m. Based on the Alluvium Formation area of 7,884 ha, the aquifer volume is estimated to reach 2.145 × 10⁹ m³. Assuming an effective porosity of 15%, the theoretical exploitable groundwater volume is approximately 3.21 × 10⁸ m³. This estimation suggests that the groundwater potential in Tempilang District is theoretically sufficient to meet the water demand of oil palm plantations; however, its utilization requires sustainable management.
