Abstract

Coastal areas are typically characterized by non-uniform soil properties, often featuring soft, water-saturated soils with high plasticity, which frequently results in low soil bearing capacity. This study aims to investigate the relationship between California Bearing Ratio (CBR) values and Mackintosh Probe (MP) test results by utilizing a mixture of clay soil comprising bentonite and kaolin with sand in various compositions. These mixtures were prepared as laboratory test samples to simulate the soil conditions in these areas. The primary objective of this research is to develop a faster and more efficient alternative method for estimating soil bearing capacity in coastal regions. A total of 81 samples were prepared with variations in moisture content, compaction levels, and the composition of sand and clay mixtures. Testing was conducted using both CBR and MP methods. The analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between MP and CBR values, represented by the linear regression model: CBR = 0.7498 * MP, with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.9542. This indicates that approximately 95.42% of the variation in CBR values can be predicted from the MP test results. The model's accuracy was further validated through training and testing using 5 randomly selected data points from the sample set. The findings suggest that the Mackintosh Probe can serve as a preliminary tool for estimating soil bearing capacity in coastal areas, particularly in field conditions where laboratory equipment is limited. However, for broader applicability, further validation of this model is necessary to accommodate more complex soil conditions in the field.

Abstract

The signalized intersection of Jl. HR. Soebrantas – Jl. SM. Amin is one of the congestion-prone intersections in Pekanbaru City, particularly due to its location in a peatland area. Peatland conditions, which are characterized by low bearing capacity and high compressibility, limit extensive physical expansion of road infrastructure. At the same time, this intersection serves as a key connector between major activity centers, including educational institutions, offices, commercial areas, and residential zones, resulting in significant traffic congestion and long queues, especially during peak hours. To address these challenges, this study proposes the implementation of a Continuous Green-T (CGT) intersection design as an operational and geometric solution that minimizes the need for large-scale infrastructure modification. The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of the intersection after the implementation of the CGT design using microscopic traffic simulation with VISSIM. The analysis results indicate that the existing condition has an average delay of 62.5 seconds (Level of Service/LOS F), while the implementation of CGT reduces the average delay to 19.3 seconds (LOS C). This demonstrates that the CGT design is effective in reducing intersection delay by 43.2 seconds and improving the Level of Service from F to C, making it a suitable approach for traffic management in physically constrained environments such as peatland areas.
