Abstract

Bridges are constructed to facilitate the crossing of pedestrians, vehicles, or trains and are essential components of land transportation infrastructure, which is crucial for ensuring the smooth flow of traffic. As part of the reconstruction project for the south side of the Muja Muju Bridge on Jalan Kusumanegara, the Yogyakarta City Government rebuilt this section of the bridge, which had become unfit for traffic use. The area features two bridges, serving as transportation routes: the Muja Muju Bridge on the north side and the newly reconstructed bridge on the south side. The demolition of the south side of the Muja Muju Bridge, as the initial stage of the project, will impact the construction of the bridge on the north side. Excavation for the foundation on the south side must consider various safety considerations, one of which is determining the depth of the foundation on the north side. In this study, the foundation depth is assessed through the geoelectrical measurement method, specifically the dipole–dipole technique. The interpretation of the results indicates that the foundation lies at a depth of 9 to 10 m from the soil surface.
