Abstract

This paper describes, discusses and compares three new innovations of reinforcement systems for soft soils: (a) a combination of gridded matrass and piles of bamboo, (b) a combination of matrass and piles of bamboo, and (c) a group of mini piles connected by small H-beams with a compacted top layer to hold the top mini piles. First, illustrations and applications of the three types of reinforcement are described from three full-scale field works. Technical bases for the three types are presented, while technical comparisons are discussed next. Finally, conclusions are developed. The case studies, analysis results, and full-scale fieldwork verifications show that the three reinforcement systems have worked properly. Each system has its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of construction duration and cost, capability/effectiveness and material availability, especially in rural areas.

Abstract

Abstract. This paper presents results of numerical and experimental studies to predict the peak particle velocity (ppv) induced by a pile driving. By utilizing a professional finite element software, Plaxis 2D Dynamic, this study analyzed ppv due to pile driving in clays for various soil stiffness and various embedded pile lengths. For verification, a full scale field test of pile driving was performed in East Kalimantan with installed instrumentations of accelerations. Results of both instrumentation and numerical analysis show that ppv depends on distance and soil rigidity. The closer the object to pile tip, the larger the ppv that will be produced. The more rigid the soils at the pile tip, the larger the ppv, too. The results also show that both field test and numerical analysis results are comparable. Finally, this paper proposes a chart to predict the ppv of soils due to pile driving in clays. The output of the proposed method is the predicted ppv for various distances from pile driving location. Abstrak. Paper ini menyampaikan hasil studi eksperimental dan numerik untuk memperkirakan besarnya kecepatan rambat gelombang (ppv) akibat pemancangan tiang pancang. Dengan bantuan software Plaxis ver. 8.2 Dynamic, studi ini menganalisis sejumlah model dengan berbagai variasi kekakuan pada tanah, khususnya tanah lempung (clay) dan berbagai kedalaman fondasi tiang tertanam. Hasil analisis software Plaxis ver. 8.2 Dynamic ini telah diverfikasi dengan hasil studi eksperimental pada sebuah proyek pemancangan fondasi tiang pancang di Kalimantan Timur. Berdasarkan analisis numerik dan data dari pengujian lapangan yang mempunyai hasil yang hampir sama, nilai ppv bergantung dari jarak dari pemancangan dan kekakuan tanah. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah usulan formulasi prediksi besarnya kecepatan rambat gelombang (ppv) dalam bentuk chart untuk mempermudah menentukan nilai ppv yang akan terjadi akibat pemancangan di tanah lempung. Sedangkan keluarannya akan berupa besaran nilai ppv (peak particle velocity) terhadap jarak pemancangan tiang.

Abstract

AbstractPipe-soil interaction plays an important role to the pipe stress analysis subjected to soil movement due to slope instability and/or slope failure.  As the soils / slopes begin to fail, a single pipe or a group of pipes buried inside failure zone will bear additional loads which frequently lead to overstress or buckling.  To study this phenomena, a case study was carried out by modelling a group of pipes subjected to ground movement in lateral direction. ABAQUS, a finite element software was employed to establish a 3 D numerical model of pipe-soil interaction during landslide event. Discussions of the results of this analysis are presented by focusing on the behaviors of displacement and stress of the pipes due to slope failure.  Based on the analysis results, the length of failure zone becomes the major cause of the location of maximum stress during slope failure, it should be assessed carefully.AbstrakPada analisis pipe-stress dengan beban dari pergerakan tanah yang diakibatkan oleh longsoran, perilaku interaksi antara pipa dan tanah berperan sangat penting. Ketika tanah/lereng mulai bergerak, sebuah pipa atau beberapa pipa yang dipasang di dalam bidang kelongsoran akan menerima beban tambahan yang seringnya menyebabkan buckling/overstress pada pipa. Untuk mempelajari fenomena ini, studi kasus dilakukan dengan memodelkan grup pipa yang dikenai pergerakan tanah secara lateral. ABAQUS, sebuah program berbasis finite element digunakan untuk memodelkan interaksi antara pipa dan tanah secara tiga dimensi selama longsor terjadi. Diskusi mengenai hasil dari analisis ini dilakukan dengan berfokus kepada perilaku displacement dan stress dari pipa akibat longsoran tanah. Berdasarkan hasil analisis, panjang dari bidang longsor menjadi issue utama dalam penentuan lokasi stress maksimum pipa, sehingga ke depannya perlu dilakukan pemeriksaan secara detail.
