Abstract

The stability of slope is impacted by Rock Mass Rating, material properties, and slope geometry. Furthermore, the slope stability analysis was needed to know the slope stability condition. This research aims to know the Strength Reduction Factor (SRF) value by using Finite Element Method (FEM) using Hu=1 and Hu=Auto. The geotechnical mapping that is Rock Mass Rating (RMR) and Measured Section were done to get the Geological Strength Index (GSI) and profile of layer rocks in highwall slope SCT_J1 and SCT_J2. From the FEM analysis, actual slope SCT_J1 has the SRF=1.25 with Hu=1 and SRF=1.4 with Hu=Auto. SCT_J2 has SRF=1.21 with Hu=1 and SRF=1.3 with Hu=Auto. From the slope stability analysis, SCT_J1 and SCT_J2 were classified into stable slope due to the SRF value higher than 1.2.

Abstract

On February 3, 2024, a landslide occurred in Nanggerang Village, Sukasari District, Sumedang Regency, West Java Province. The landslide took place on the slopes of local farmland. This event was investigated through an analysis of the characteristics of the landslide material collected immediately after the landslide to determine its cause and mechanism. The landslide slope was divided into three units based on the type and degree of weathering: topsoil (OH), silt soil (MH), and weathered tuff rock. Three undisturbed samples were used in laboratory experiment to determine the materials’ physical characteristics. The physical characteristics of the two soil units, which included silt-sized grains, a specific gravity of roughly 2.6, a unit weight ranging from 21 to 45 kN/m3, and a plasticity index of 16 to 20, were not substantially different, according to the results of the laboratory tests. For the tuff rock, the unit weight was 17.31, water content 48.8, and specific gravity 22.7. The laboratory test results, and studio analysis found that the high water content in the soil due to rainfall caused the two soil units to exceed their liquid limit, resulting in a translational (arc) landslide. The presence of clay minerals due to weathering acted as a catalyst for the landslide. The addition of water from heavy rainfall made the material more fluid, changing the type of landslide to an earth flow.

Abstract

Jatinangor is an area composed of material from volcanic activity, one of the results of volcanic activity is andesite rock. The purpose of this research is to provide information related to the physical and mechanical properties of the lava rock in the Gunung Geulis area so that if there is construction work or rock utilization there is already information about the characteristics of the rock. The method used in this study is a laboratory experiment by conducting tests on 9 selected rock samples. The results of laboratory testing can be concluded the rock in the research area is andesite rocks and have rock physical properties namely Natural density (1.5 – 1.6 gr/cc), Saturated density (1.6 – 1.7 g/cc), Dry Density (1.5 – 1.6 g/cc), Bulk Saturated Surface Dry (SSD) Specific Gravity (2.3 – 2.4), Apparent Specific Gravity (2.5 – 2.7), absorption (3 – 5.9%), Natural moisture content (0.6 – 2.3%),  Porosity (4.9 – 9.4%) and the mechanical properties of the rock, namely the compressive strength of the rock, ranged from 33,099 – 85,096 Mpa. Based on the results and analysis, the mechanical properties of rocks, namely the compressive strength of rocks in the study area, have varying values and varied physical properties of rocks. Physical and mechanical properties of rocks that are correlated based on linear correlation are the compressive strength of rocks with absorption, Natural moisture content, and porosity. These parameters will show the relationship that can affect the compressive strength of rocks. So that when using rock in construction work, mining, the use of rock needs to pay attention to the compressive strength or mechanical properties and physical properties of the rock.

Abstract

Sula Islands is a region in Maluku Province that is very vulnerable to earthquakes because it is located on an active seismic line. One of the disasters that often accompanies earthquakes is liquefaction. Sandy soil in a saturated condition will lose its strength when an earthquake occurs, thus endangering the building above it. The aim of the study was to determine seismicity and estimate the liquefaction potential of the earthquake history and CPT test in the Sanana region and its surroundings. The method in this study uses a "simplified procedure" method for evaluating liquefaction resistance of soils. 2 main parameters were sought in this study, CSR obtained based on tectonic conditions and a history of seismicity and CRR obtained from the results of CPT testing. The results showed that seismicity in the Sanana region was sourced from Sula-Sorong active fault activity with a history of the greatest magnitude of 8.1 and 7.7. As for the calculation results from CPT data, the Sanana area has the potential for liquefaction of sand medium material at a depth of 5-12 m for earthquakes with magnitude 7.5 and 4 -12 m in magnitude 7.7 and 8.1. The potential for liquefaction in this area is caused by the type of saturated medium sand material and this location which is close to the active fault activity of Sula-Sorong. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the potential for liquefaction in planning, building and developing infrastructure in earthquake-prone areas so that disasters of liquefaction can be prevented.

Abstract

The research area around Gunung Geulis has been shifted from agricultural land into residential areas. This transformation eventually will affect the water infiltration process especially throughout the rainy season and can cause the intensity of the erosion rate to go higher. Soil erodibility is defined as the susceptibility of the soil to erosion, as the degree to which a soil is easily eroded or not. This research was conducted to determine the erodibility value in an area of ± 25 km2 which administratively belongs to the Districts of Cimanggung and Jatinangor, Sumedang Regency, West Java Province. The erodibility value can be calculated by the method introduced by Wischmeier and Smith (1978) and it is determined based on several parameters, namely texture of the soil, soil structure, permeability value, and organic (%C) content in a soil sample. The research data was obtained by engineering geological mapping of the distribution of surface soil, taking undisturbed soil samples using the hand auger method, and laboratory tests in the form of testing the physical properties of the soil. Then several laboratory tests are conducted to identify the physical properties of soil such as organic (%C) content analysis using Walkley and Black method, grain size analysis, hydrometer analysis, and permeability analysis using the falling head method. In the research area, the soil type is divided into two units, namely the Low Plasticity Silt Unit and the High Plasticity Silt Unit. Soil erodibility values around Gunung Geulis ranged from 0.118 to 0.514 0,1-ton acre hour/acre foot-ton inch which was included in the classification of a low, medium, moderately high, and high erodibility levels according to US customary dimensions.

Abstract

Slope stability analysis is a necessary aspect in open mining operations. The research location is in the Muaraenim Formation, South Sumatra, Indonesia. In this study, the level of slope stability is determined by the value of the Safety Factor (FS). The method used is limit equilibrium, the Spencer method. The results of this study indicate that FS values are influenced by the angle of the slope, where with decreasing degree of slope, the FS value will increase. In addition, the FS value is also directly proportional to the cohesion value of the slope materials.

Abstract

Slope stability is an important aspect of the mining operation. Hence, an in-depth understanding of slope stability and variable that affect it is very crucial.  This research was conducted in pit tunggal, Borneo. The aim of this research is to identify the correlation between overall slope and slope stability in highwall slope at pit tunggal. Slope stability analysis was conducted with SLIDE V 6.00 software using Morgenstern-Price’s limit equilibrium method. The result of this research shows that, as the highwall slope gets steeper, the slope stability represented by a factor of safety (FS) may decrease. Otherwise, when the highwall slope gets declivous, the factor of safety may increase.

Abstract

The Sadawarna Dam and its surroundings, which are located in Subang Regency, are currently under construction. Change in land use caused by the construction occurred. Land management and soil conservation are needed to prevent uncontrolled erosion because it can caused slopes in critical condition, flood occurred in the downstream areas of river, and silting of dam. One of the information in land management and soil conservation is by identifying the soil erodibility which aims to find out the sensitivity of the soil to erosion in the research area. Soil erodibility affected by grain size distribution, soil structure, soil organic matter, and soil permeability. In this research area, the soil erodibility was calculated based on disturbed sample in the field which was then tested in the laboratory. The laboratory tests include sieve analysis, hydrometer analysis, and %c organic. Soil permeability obtained from previous studies. The research area is dominated by clay-sized soil which are the result of weathered claystone in Subang Formation. Soil erodibility value in the research area ranged from 1,100 – 0,448 t ha h/ha MJ cm with dominance of low soil erodibility classes. The dominance of clay-sized soil causes low soil erodibility value because clay sized soil has cohesive properties so it tends to be difficult to erode.
