Abstract

The soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) of soil plays the key roll in unsaturated soil mechanics which is a relatively new field. To encourage the geotechnical engineers to apply unsaturated soil mechanics theories in routine practice, numerical methods, based on the SWCC and saturated soil properties, have been developed to predict unsaturated permeability function and unsaturated shear strength properties which are expensive, time consuming, and it may require specials techniques or apparatus to measure the SWCC in laboratories. However, it is important to have laboratory measured data of SWCCs to enhance and verify the proposed numerical methods. Hence, employing the capillary column method which applies the tempe cell pressure principle, namely varying the matric suction value, this study aims to obtain the water content in each matric sauction variation which is then presented in SWCC form. Saturated permeability is obtained from constant head test. Permeability function is calculated indirectlt by Fredlund and Rahardjo method (1993) using SWCC and saturated permeability.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the landslide potential in Taktakan Sub-district, Serang City, which is prone to landslides due to geographical and hydrometeorological factors. The analysis was conducted using Geographic Information System (GIS) method with QGIS software and Weighted Linear Combination (WLC) approach combined with Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Factors causing landslides, such as slope, rainfall, geology, and land use, were analyzed based on the weights obtained from respondents' questionnaires. The results showed that rainfall has the greatest influence (42%), followed by slope (37%), geology (11%), and land use (10%). The highest landslide potential is found in Taktakan sub-district, with the dominant vulnerability level in the medium class (50.73%), while the high and very high risk areas are 20.65% and 3.66%, respectively. This study concludes that high rainfall and steep slopes are the main factors that increase the risk of landslides in the area
