Abstract

The effect of nanostructured Ohia naturally occurring pozzolan (kaolin clay) on the compressive strength of Umuntu Olokoro lateritic soil was investigated for use as base material improvement of south eastern roads. First, a preliminary exercise was conducted to determine the index, grading and consistency properties of the natural soil. The results show that the Umuntu Olokoro soil was an A-2-7 soil, according to AASHTO classification system and poorly graded (GP) on USCS classification. The soil also recorded a PI of 21.85%, which shows that the soil was highly plastic. The specific gravity of the soil was 2.67, OMC of 13%, Maximum Dry Density of 1.84 gm/cm3, California Bearing Ratio of 14%, Unconfined Compressive Strength of 194.26 kN/m2, 219.11 kN/m2 and 230.77 kN/m2 at 7, 14 and 28 days curing periods with material property of silty clayey sand and stiff material. Furthermore, the pozzolan additive was introduced in proportions of 3%, 6%, 9%, 12% and 15% by weight and the effect of the varying proportions studied. The results show that the introduction of the pozzolan improved the soil compressive strength, considerable and a maximum of 369.9 kN/m2 was achieved at 9% proportion of pozzolan at 28 days curing time. Having satisfied the material properties for use as a base material (200-400kN/m2), pozzolan is a very good admixture material in the stabilization of lateritic soils for use as a subbase material for pavement construction.

Abstract

Earthquake occurring may trigger many secondary hazards. One of those hazards is liquefaction which is a phenomenon where part of soil loses it stiffness due to cyclic load. This paper evaluates the liquefaction potential of Ir. Soekarno Bridge located in Manado, Indonesia using its own soil properties acquired from standard penetration test (SPT). Using Simplified Seed & Idriss (1971) as the basis method, based on this method, if the safety factor value exceeds one, the soil has a liquefaction potential. Calculation were done using NovoLiq software with the peak ground acceleration (PGA) = 0.732 g and shallow water table. Analysis result by applying previous soil and earthquake parameters shows that there is a potential of liquefaction on the bridge’s foundation at the layer I ~ II (0 ~ 12m). Further analysis of the foundation stability against liquefaction using Pile Group GEO5 software shows there is increasing of horizontal displacement by 19.4 mm at service load, settlement increase by 0.7 mm at service load, and bearing capacity wearing off equal to 19008.45 kN. Based on analysis results, we conclude that the Ir. Soekarno Bridge have a potential of liquefaction during 7.5 Mw earthquake.

Abstract

In Khon Kaen province, the northeast of Thailand, the soil layer consists mostly of silty sand and silty clay with fine soil grains. This soil is a wind-blown deposit into layers of soil and is named “Loess” or “Khon Kaen Loess”. Thus far, there has been a limited studies conducted on its engineering properties and the use of this soil is also limited. Accordingly, this research studied the improvement of the basic and engineering properties of this Loess with addition of clay. The results indicated that Loess can be classified as inactive -silty-sandy clay. The yield stress of Loess-clay decreased with the increasing amount of clay and was directly related to the compressive strength. The compression index and swelling index also decreased with increasing consistency index. The ratio of is significantly correlated with the coefficient of compressibility and permeability coefficient. Still, the effective cohesion of Loess is relatively low (approximately 20 kPa) and it will not change with the clay amount. The maximum of the effective internal friction angle is 25 degrees while the soaked bearing strength seems to decrease following the increasing amount of clay. Notably, the basic and engineering parameters of Khon Kaen loess are mutually connected via an experiential relationship whereas the predicted outcomes and the results from other studies are similar. The experiential equation from this research could be used to predict the engineering properties of silty soil or other types of low-swelling clay.

Abstract

Sustainable building rating systems (SBRSs) play an important role in promoting the development of sustainable buildings. As SBRSs need to adapt to the local context, many countries and regions have made efforts in recent years to establish their local SBRSs. However, there is no consensus on how to set up a local SBRS. The purpose of this paper is to identify the main steps in and methods for developing a local SBRS and to provide a reference for subsequent research on establishing such a rating system. Therefore, this paper reviews and compares the relevant literature on the regional development of SBRSs. Four main development stages are identified: the selection of indicators and categories, the establishment of a weighting system, conversion into the rating system, and verification and modification. Accordingly, the methods commonly included in the four stages are identified and discussed, and the applicability and limitations of the methods are determined through comparative analysis. Finally, this paper proposes the future research direction related to the establishment of a future SBRS.

Abstract

Peatland is a type of soil characterized by high water content. Using peatlands for plantation is accompanied by the presence of a channel. It causes water table decreasing to a certain depth that will increase the risk of fire. This study aims to observe characteristics of water table level in order to reveal the peatlands hydrology transformation. The study is conducted in Pulau Padang, Riau Province of Indonesia, which is a drained peatland that has been developed for industrial crop cultivation. The land is managed by different two groups, which are maintained by the local community and by private companies. An analysis is carried out by using a balance of water budget in peatland. The results show that there are correlations between water management with the state of water table elevation, especially the presence of channels and their management. The decreases of water table in local community areas are higher than that in companies' land with variety in higher values. This phenomenon occurs because there are no canal blocks on the peatland, which is managed by the local community so that the rise and fall of the water surface occur naturally. Keywords: peatlands, water table depth, channelization, rainfall, direct runoff

Abstract

This paper describes a semi-empirical model for predicting the uplift resistance of a belled-type pile considering the relative density of the ground. The variable parameters were utilized in the model are the pile length, the diameter of pile tip, the diameter of pile, and the angle of internal friction in the ground. Moreover, the inclination angle of pile tip and the relative density of the ground, which are not studied in the previous researches, were considered. In this study, an experimental model was conducted with various conditions such as the relative density of the ground and the inclination angle of pile tip those are designated to determine the failure surface of the ground. Based on results, a new model which can be applied to the belled-type pile was proposed by improving the limit equilibrium equation in the previous models. In addition, to confirm the reliability of the newly proposed a model of limit equilibrium equation of the belled-type pile, the models which are presented in the previous studies were compared with the proposed model. Consequently, the proposed model in this study correspond the higher reliability in comparison with the previous models.
