Abstract

The landslide disaster in Nagari Aia Dingin, Lembah Gumanti District, Solok Regency is strongly associated with anthropogenic and natural factors, particularly mining activities and prolonged high-intensity rainfall. These conditions have significantly altered slope geometry and reduced soil stability. This study aims to evaluate soil characteristics, determine the factor of safety, and propose appropriate mitigation strategies for slope failure. A quantitative approach was adopted through laboratory testing and numerical simulation using GeoStudio. The results indicate that the soil is classified as silty sand with poor gradation. The calculated factor of safety values under slope variations of 30°, 45°, and 60° are consistently below 1.5, indicating unstable slope conditions. Therefore, the study highlights the urgent need for slope stabilization measures to mitigate future landslide risks.

Abstract

This research aims to develop a Decision Support System (DSS) that can assist in selecting the best bus for tourism purposes in Toraja. The objective of this research is to facilitate the decision-making process for prospective tourists who want to use buses as their means of transportation during their visit to Toraja. The method employed in this research is the Weighted Product (WP) method. This method was chosen due to its ability to handle multiple criteria, enabling selection based on various relevant factors such as price, service quality, bus capacity, operational schedule, and level of comfort. Furthermore, the collected data will be input into the developed DSS using the WP method. The DSS will calculate relative scores for each bus based on the predetermined criteria weights. The results of this research are expected to provide objective and accurate recommendations for selecting the best bus. These recommendations can serve as a guide for prospective tourists in choosing a bus that suits their needs and preferences. Additionally, this research can also provide valuable insights for bus operators in improving service quality and customer satisfaction.

Abstract

This study investigates using Coconut Shell Charcoal (ABK) as a stabilizing agent for clayey soils, aiming to enhance their suitability for road subgrade applications. The primary objective is to evaluate the effect of varying ABK concentrations (0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%) on the geotechnical properties of clay soil, particularly its compaction and load-bearing capacity. Laboratory tests, including compaction and California Bearing Ratio (CBR), were conducted to assess the influence of ABK on soil strength and stability. The results reveal that adding ABK significantly improves the soil's compaction characteristics and CBR values. The highest improvement was observed at 15% ABK, where the CBR value reached 22.22%, well above the minimum threshold required for road subgrade materials. There is a good influence of coconut shell charcoal on increasing the CBR value of clay soil subgrade at each additional material. The R value of 0.963 obtained shows a very high correlation. The addition of coconut shell charcoal to the subgrade soil has a positive effect on the California Bearing Ratio value which increases in each variation. The study demonstrates that ABK, a sustainable agricultural waste product, provides an affordable and effective solution for enhancing the strength and stability of clay soils, making it a promising alternative to traditional stabilizers such as lime and cement. The findings have significant implications for road construction in regions with expansive and weak soils, offering a cost-effective and environmentally friendly method for soil stabilization. This research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on the use of agricultural waste in infrastructure development, emphasizing the potential of ABK in providing sustainable solutions for soil improvement in civil engineering applications.
