Abstract

Landslide is a natural phenomenon that can be controlled by a combination of various factors, such as topography, lithological condition, geological structure, water table, etc. Landslide is stated as a natural disaster if it causes casualties, direct losses and subsequent impacts of the initial destruction, as happened in Banaran Village, Ponorogo Regency. This study is aimed to examine the effects of initial groundwater table conditions and rainfall wetting on Banaran Village landslide. This study was conducted by assuming scenarios of initial groundwater table conditions. Soil parameters were obtained by testing soil samples in the laboratory. Infiltration parameters were acquired through permeability tests using the Philip-Dunne method, while areal rainfall was calculated using the Thiessen polygon method. In addition, slope stability modeling was calculated by using SLOPE/W while rainfall wetting analysis was carried out through SEEP/W. The analysis of Banaran Village landslide through these two numerical models was conducted by considering two conditions: 1) without rainfall and 2) with rainfall and infiltration. The analysis results imply that the landslide occurred in the initial groundwater table condition in scenario 3 with a safety factor of 1.008, and in a similar scenario with a safety factor of 0.973 when taking into account rainfall and infiltration. The results from SEEP/W and SLOPE/W indicate that the initial condition of the groundwater table highly influenced the decrease of the safety factor, while the wetting process did not cause a significant decrease of the safety factor.

Abstract

Low calcium fly ash based Geopolymer has been proven to be one of the potential alternatives substitutes to Portland Cement not only due to its high resistance to chemical attack but also because of the vast availability of class F fly ash for raw materials. However, one of the limitations of geopolymer as the alternative binders in concrete is that the strength develops slowly under ambient condition. This paper presented the investigation of water to solid ratio, activator to binder ratio, and lime proportion on the compressive strength of ambient-cured geopolymer concrete. To develop sufficient strength at an early age, class F fly ash and slaked lime (Ca (OH)2) were used as the binder with the proportion of lime to binder of 4%, 5%, 6%, and 7%. The blended binder was activated by sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide solution with the variation of activator to binder ratio of 0.45, 0.5, 0.55, and 0.6.  The water to solid ratio of 0.30, 0.31, 0.32, and 0.33 was chosen to facilitate good workability which was done by adding water to the mix. The compressive strength tests were conducted at 7, 14, and 28 days on the cylindrical concrete specimens with a dimension of 100 mm diameter and 200 mm height. The results show that the activator to binder ratio of 0.50 to 0.55, and the proportion of lime to the binder of 6% to 7% were the optimum range value. It was also found that the lower the water to cement ratio the higher the compressive strength and the water to solid ratio as low as 0.3 produced the highest compressive strength while still maintaining good workability.

Abstract

Ground freezing has been broadly applied to construction and maintenance works of infrastructures because of its environmental friendliness. Since freezing technology represented by ground freezing can improve the strength of soil as well as its water-tightness, it becomes an essential technology for construction and maintenance of urban infrastructures where the use of space in underground has already been highly integrated. In this paper, overview of the freezing technology is introduced with some important characteristics of freezing soil for practical application. In addition, freezing technology is used for interesting works which could not be completed without freezing, and the state of the arts in freezing technology is presented. A pipe-in-pipe, now the authors are developing, is an example to utilize the potential of frozen sand, and the effect of freezing is explained with experimental results.

Abstract

In this paper, the dynamic response of rigid foundations of arbitrary shape embedded in multi-layered poroelastic soils subjected to time-harmonic horizontal loading is presented. The soil-structure interaction problem is investigated by employing a discretization technique and flexibility equations based on the influence functions obtained from an exact stiffness matrix scheme. The present solution scheme is verified with relevant existing solutions of rigid foundations on homogeneous elastic and poroelastic media. A selected set of numerical results are illustrated to portray the influence of various parameters, namely, frequency of excitation, poroelastic material parameters, foundation shapes, embedded depth, and the supporting soil systems, on non-dimensional horizontal compliances of rigid foundations.

Abstract

Tsunami run-up on land has a large destructive power. Further studies are deemed necessary to understand the process and characteristics of tsunami run-up in coastal areas. Seawall structures can reduce the run-up of a tsunami depending on the height of the seawall crest. Physical modeling shows that seawall may significantly reduce run-up (????) and inundation (????????). The highest reduction up to 55% where the seawall peak height is 7 cm and the water depth is 15 cm. With the same scenario in numerical modeling, the percentage reduction is 67.53%. The highest inundation (Xi) in the scenario without seawall structure is 6.081 m when the initial water depth (d0) equals to 30 cm. The result of the numerical model for the same scenario is 6.970 m. Seawall as tsunami mitigation structure is only effective when the tsunami wave is relatively low compared to the seawall height (H/ sw). Reduction percentage > 25%, with conditions that H/ sw is < 0.856 (physical model) and < 0.802 (numerical model).

Abstract

Landslides are one of the most frequent disasters which occur widespread in Indonesia. This disaster often causes damages and fatalities. One of the mitigations efforts to reduce potential loss is by predicting the area affected by landslide movement. This research developed a numerical model of landslide movement by incorporating the erosion and deposition laws along the flow path. This model improves the accuracy of the previous models which assume that landslide volume is constant without any consideration for the erosion and deposition. The governing equation of this newly developed model uses the Eulerian numerical approach based on the finite difference scheme. The erosion-deposition laws applied in this research are from Egashira et al. (2001), McDougall and Hungr (2005), and Blanc (2008). The simulation program applies Python programming language and examines an imaginary slope with ellipsoid-shaped of source area. The simulation result shows that the additional erosion-deposition formula can enlarge the volume and the affected area of landslide movement. It is clarified that the erosion rate is a determinant factor affecting the results of calculation.

Abstract

The short-duration-rainfall monitoring techniques have become important recently due to the high demand for disaster risk miti­gation. Such techniques produce important information on the rainfall intensity during heavy rainfall in the form of snake line. At the same time, use of X-Band Multi-Parameter Radar (XMP Radar) in rainfall monitoring has increased significantly be­cause of its capacity to cover wide area. An assessment on the snake line performance that was developed based on XMP Radar and ground rainfall monitoring instrument (i.e. Automatic Rainfall Recorder or ARR) has been applied to Mt. Merapi area, Java, Indonesia. Selected rainfall data of November-December 2018 were examined. The assessment used a single pixel of radar data at the location of the ARR. The result shows that rainfall data obtained from XMP Radar are lower than those from ARR. The computed snake line obtained from XMP Radar differs from that from ARR data. The XMP Radar underestimates the warning level by about two level out of four.

Abstract

Nowadays, airports are expected to be operated as a self-service organisation that provides efficient and high-quality services. Since the satisfaction of passengers is essential for airport’s operators, the efforts to provide better services for passengers become a concern for airport’s operators by increasing the quality of service to passengers. It is crucial to identify which kind of services that would be the top priority service for the passengers. Thus, this study aims to improve the quality of service to passengers that are conducted by combining the Servqual method and Kano model. Servqual method is used to capture consumer perceptions and expectations of service along with the multi-dimensional research instrument, while the Kano model is a theory to observe costumer’s satisfaction preferences. The combination of the methods aims to determine the type of service that becomes the top priority for immediate improvement so that it can improve the service quality effectively. The selection of the priority services is based on the magnitude of the gap between expectations and perceptions of passengers on a particular service, and the assessment of passengers on the type of service that significantly influences passengers’ satisfaction with the service performance at the airport. The results of this research showed that there were three types of services as the top priority for improving their performance, namely the type of services related to the personal attention to passengers, the attractive waiting room conditions, and the understanding of each passenger’s needs individually. The airport management is expected to immediately improve the performance of the services so that the quality of service can immediately increase.

Abstract

Next Generation Attenuation (NGA) West 1 and 2 models are employed to predict the ground motion parameters of strong earthquake during the 6.9 Mw Kobe Earthquake in 1995. This study is initiated by collecting the data of ground motion parameters of the earthquake. Furthermore, the ground motion prediction is performed by using the NGA models. There are three ground motion parameters observed, i.e. peak ground acceleration (PGA), spectral acceleration (SA) at 0.2 second and SA at 1 second. The performances of the models are evaluated by using the Residual Values and Root Mean Square (RMS) Error. The results show that the NGA models could predict the ground motion parameters quite appropriately. It can be seen from the correlation values of the observed and the predicted values, which is relatively consistent each other, especially for peak ground acceleration. In general, this study could recommend the procedure in selecting the attenuation model for strong earthquakes. The study framework could be implemented to predict the ground motion in other regions.

Abstract

The accumulation of suspended sediment reduces the capacity in the river and deteriorates the water quality. Kuning  River in Yogyakarta is one of the main rivers in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, which is currently facing the issue of suspended sediments. To reduce the effect of suspended sediment and determine a preventive measure, hence, it is necessary to study the characteristics of the suspended sediment flow. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the suspended sediment flow characteristics, i.e. the velocity, and the concentration profiles at specific points in the transverse direction of the channel as well as the correlation of the suspended sediment discharge. Thirty (30) profiles of velocity and suspended sediment concentration were measured at six different points along the Kuning River. Opcon probe was used to measure suspended sediment concentration, while the propeller current meter was used to measure mean point-velocity profiles. Results of this study show the suspended sediment discharge ratio, defined as  are higher in the middle part of the channel than the one near the edge of the channel. The position of z/B where the values of  1 occurs at z/B = 0,19 and z/B = 0,75, which depend on the irregularity of the channel cross-sections. For practical purposes, the depth-averaged velocity and suspended sediment concentration can be determined from 1, 2 and/or 3 points measurement at y = 0,2D, 0,4D and 0,8D.
