Abstract

Recycled concrete aggregate, that are easily found from destruction waste materials, has been used in the construction industry as an alternative for coarse aggregate component in concrete or as backfilling material in retaining structure. This paper presents the results of study on the use of the recycled concrete aggregate in the design of a newly developed sustainable retaining wall i.e., Geobarrier system (GBS). The GBS system was developed based on capillary barrier to limit water infiltration into the backfill soil while vegetative cover is used as provisions of the sustainable construction concept. Two types of concrete aggregate are used as components of capillary barrier i.e., fine and coarse aggregate. Laboratory test result shows the recycled concrete has similar mechanical and hydraulic properties as the natural aggregate; thus, can be used as alternative material. Stability and deformation analyses were carried out for 4 m high wall with 70o inclination. Results indicate that the retaining wall meet the requirement of the code of practice according to Eurocode 7 in terms of Factor of safety. Deformation analysis shows that the maximum deformation was only 4.5 mm at the bottom of the GBS wall.

Abstract

Runway construction on soft soil presents significant engineering challenges due to excessive settlement, which can affect structural stability and long-term performance of transportation infrastructure. This study investigates the settlement of a runway in Sumbawa, Indonesia using the Finite Element Method (FEM) in Plaxis 2D. The Hardening Soil Model was applied to realistically capture nonlinear soil behavior. Input parameters were derived from a series of N-SPT data and laboratory test results. The findings indicate that during the operational phase, the maximum and minimum settlement were 307.1 mm and 2.491x10-3 mm, respectively. Meanwhile, consolidation-induced settlement reached a maximum of 357.97 mm and a minimum of 10.6 mm. The distribution of total settlement along the runway varied depending on soil characteristics. Sections with predominantly clayey soil exhibited greater settlement, whereas areas with sandy soil experienced significantly lower settlement.
