Abstract

The spectral analysis of surface waves (SASW) method is introduced as an in-situ non-destructive seismic technique where the method consists of the generation, measurement and processing the dispersive Rayleigh waves from two vertical transducers. Subsequently, the dispersive data of Rayleigh phase velocity are inverted and the shear wave velocity versus depth of the site is obtained. The dynamic stiffness parameters, i.e. elastic modulus generated from the SASW measurements are at a very small strain levels of 0.001%. At this strain level the soil is linearly elastic and the use of elastic theories is thus justified. The aim of this paper is to investigate the seismic parameters of the pavement subgrade stiffness using the SASW method and to predict its bearing capacity based on the seismic parameters. In order to determine the bearing capacity, in situ dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) was also carried out in the same location of SASW test.  The relationship of the shear wave velocity and dynamic elastic modulus (Edynamic) of the SASW were found to be in good correlation with bearing capacity obtained by the DCP.

Abstract

The creation of a transportation system that ensures the movement of people, vehicles, or goods in a smooth, safe, fast, cheap, convenient, and environmentally friendly way has been the goal of country development. An increase in traffic volume will cause a change in traffic behavior. Theoretically, there is a fundamental relationship between the flow, speed, and density of traffic. Activities and land use will affect the performance of a variety of roads. Land in Jalan Wates Km 5 is used as commercial and market area that is the center of the crowd. The purpose of this study was to determine: speed, traffic volume, density, capacity, and the relationship between speed, volume and density using Greenshields and Greenberg methods, degree of saturation, and level of service. The study was conducted in one day. The result showed that the capacity of the road is still able to accommodate the volume of existing traffic.
