Abstract

Subsurface?failures, often caused by poor site investigation, are a serious issue in geotechnical engineering. This research focused on unpredictable soil response at a geologically complex site in Girsang Sipangan Bolon District, Indonesia, where very high significant variation in subsoil conditions led to foundation failure. The subsurface profile was studied, and the ultimate bearing capacity (UBC) was first characterized in this research for safe foundation design. The site investigation utilized 11 boreholes, including Standard Penetration Tests (SPTs) and undisturbed sampling. They processed the readings using Meyerhof's theory and determined the UBC for strip, pad, and circular foundations. The findings showed extremely high subsurface heterogeneity (with SPT-N values between very soft top layers and ultra-dense rock-coral). Therefore, there?is a large variation in the predicted UBC. Based on statistical analysis of the data, clear geotechnical zones were defined, with some boreholes showing high, consistent capacity and others showing locally weak strata. Fill and ring foundations also had greater theoretical bearing?capacities than rectangular footings. The main conclusion is that?sufficiently pronounced subsurface heterogeneity requires site-specific geotechnical investigations to minimize the risk of differential settlement. Therefore, foundation design cannot be uniform throughout the site; deep foundations, such as end-bearing piles, are suggested in highly variable zones to transfer loads to competent strata and ensure long-term structural safety.

Abstract

This study aims to estimate coal resources using the kriging method at PT. Inti Bara Perdana, Taba Penanjung, Bengkulu. Geostatistical analysis was applied to evaluate spatial variability of coal quality parameters, including total moisture (TM), inherent moisture (IM), ash content (ASH), volatile matter (VM), fixed carbon (FC), and calorific value (CV). The research utilized drilling data with an average spacing of 80 meters. Variogram modeling was conducted using SGeMS software, employing spherical models to determine nugget, sill, and range parameters. The results show a low nugget effect (0%) indicating strong spatial continuity. The obtained ranges vary between 180–1296 meters depending on the parameter. Blo./ck kriging estimation was performed using block dimensions of 25 × 25 × 8 meters and a coal density of 1.3 ton/m³. The total estimated coal resource up to an elevation of 230 m is 253,500 tons. These findings demonstrate that kriging provides reliable resource estimation and supports mine planning optimization. This research contributes to improving coal resource evaluation accuracy and operational decision-making in open-pit mining.

Abstract

The treatment of acid mine drainage at PT Bumi Bara Makmur Mandiri is conducted using an active treatment method. It was found that there is cloudy wastewater with a brownish and reddish-brown color in the settling pond. The objective of this study was to analyze the changes in pH, Fe and Mn concentrations in acid mine drainage samples using quicklime and to calculate the cost required for neutralizing the acid mine drainage. The neutralization process was carried out on a laboratory scale using an experimental method with 3 variations of quicklime doses: 0.2 g/l, 0.3 g/l, and 0.4 g/l. The results showed that quicklime is effective in reducing Fe and Mn value in acid mine drainage. The initial pH of the acid mine drainage was 6.05. The pH increased with the increase in the quicklime coagulant dose. The Fe concentration before the neutralization of acid mine drainage was 1.20 mg/l, which decreased to 0.15 mg/L for all given dose variations. The initial Mn concentration exceeded the environmental quality standard and showed a significant reduction at a dosage of 0.2 g/L, decreasing from 72.20 mg/L to 0.08 mg/L. Similar Mn concentrations were obtained at dosages of 0.3 g/L and 0.4 g/L, each resulting in 0.122 mg/L. The cost required to neutralize Fe and Mn was IDR 368,000 per day, or IDR 11,040,000 per month.
