Abstract

This study presents a comparative analysis of the technical effectiveness and cost efficiency of three ground reinforcement methods—geogrids, soil nailing, and gabion retaining walls—for slope stabilization in highway construction projects. Numerical modeling using geotechnical software was conducted to evaluate the performance of each method based on the increase in the factor of safety (FS) and the degree of slope deformation. The results indicate that soil nailing is the most technically effective method, providing the highest FS increase (up to 1.68) and the best control over deformation. However, it also incurs the highest implementation cost. In contrast, geogrids proved to be the most cost-efficient solution, although with a more moderate FS increase. Meanwhile, gabion retaining walls offer a good compromise between performance and cost. The study concludes that the optimal choice of a ground reinforcement method must be based on a multi-criteria analysis that considers specific geotechnical conditions, safety priorities, and budget availability. The findings of this research are expected to serve as a practical guide for engineers in designing safe, efficient, and sustainable slope stabilization solutions.

Abstract

Soil bearing capacity is a critical parameter in geotechnical engineering that determines the safety, stability, and performance of foundation systems. Accurate evaluation of bearing capacity is essential for selecting appropriate foundation types and preventing excessive settlement or structural failure. This study aims to evaluate the soil bearing capacity in Gunungsitoli City, Indonesia, based on Cone Penetration Test (CPT) results. A quantitative descriptive research approach was employed using in-situ CPT data collected from six representative investigation points. The analysis involved the interpretation of cone tip resistance (qc), sleeve friction (fs), friction ratio (Rf), soil stratification, and estimation of allowable bearing capacity through established empirical correlations. The results indicate that cone resistance generally increases with depth, reflecting a transition from soft clay and silty sand near the ground surface to dense sandy deposits at greater depths. The estimated allowable bearing capacity ranges from 320 kPa to 500 kPa, depending on local subsurface conditions. These values suggest that isolated footings are suitable for light to medium-rise structures, whereas raft or pile foundations are recommended for heavier infrastructure. Spatial variations in bearing capacity demonstrate the influence of local geological conditions, emphasizing the necessity of conducting site-specific geotechnical investigations before construction. Overall, the study confirms that the Cone Penetration Test provides a reliable, efficient, and economical method for evaluating soil bearing capacity and supports safer and more cost-effective foundation design for future infrastructure development in Gunungsitoli City.
