Abstract

Landslide are natural disasters that often occur in West Java, in 2020 landslides have occurred 852 times. In an effort to prevent the occurrence of rock landslides, it is necessary to study the stability of rock slopes, so it is necessary to evaluate the discontinuity of the rock and take engineering geological. The purpose of this study is to analyze the stability of rock slopes in the study area so that the types of landslides that can occur can be known. Method used is Kinematic Analysis where the object of research is an andesite outcrop located at the northwest foot of Mount Geulis, Cinanjung Village, Jatinangor District. Kinematic analysis is an analysis of the movement of objects without considering the forces that cause them. Various types of slope failure are associated with geological structures that result in a discontinuity plane in the rock body. The results of the study are in the form of determining the potential for landslides that can occur in the research area. Based on the kinematic analysis of the types of failure in the research area that can occur are wedge types in the MT-2, MT-5, and MT-6 segments and toppling types in the MT-3, MT-4, MT-7 segments and Planar failure found in the MT - 1 segment. potential failure in the study area are toppling and wedge with percentage values for the possibility of landslides were obtained, namely: wedge failure is 1.82% - 3.91% and toppling failure is 21.82% - 38.95% and Planar failure is 55.81%

Abstract

Geomorphology along Ciranjang to Bandung Barat is dominated by structural hills while others are related to the magmatism/ volcanism activity. The others morphological features are plain land which belong to Ciranjang and Bandung depression. In interpreting geological structures, topography map and DEM were used together with field data particularly the landscape faulting indication and flow pattern. The compiled data of morphology, stratigraphy and landscape in the study area showed that the geomorphology of the area could be differ into several unit which are structural hill, non-structural hill, and plain morphology units. Sedimentary structural hill unit were develop in Rajamandala hills starting from the Cianjur-Bandung border, Solitary hills geomorphological unit developed in Cililin area, and the developed plain unit developed in Ciranjang and Cililin area

Abstract

The Leles-Garut Basin, with an elevation ranges between 650 and 725 above mean sea level, is a Quaternary topographic basin area situated in the east-trending volcanic arc of West Java. In contrast to the adjacent Bandung Basin, the nature of the basin bounding area of the Leles-Garut Basin is not clearly defined. The presence of volcanic chain and structural lineament exhibits the difference in morphological features. A quantification of morphological indices was chosen to redefine an active tectonic involvement in surrounding basin border. Mountain-front sinuosity indices range from 1.1 to 3.9 and basin asymmetrical factor suggests a wide range of the effects of active tectonic even a little tilting. The study unveil that the basin bounding is not only volcano-bounded but also fault-bounded.

Abstract

Mount Talang is one of the active volcanos in Indonesia, it located at Kayu Aro District, Solok Regency, West Sumatera, Indonesia, and Mount Talang is part of Barisan Mountain and lies at Sumami segment which is part of the active Sumatera Fault. In groundwater flow, a fault zone can act as a sink, or as a barrier, when the fault zone highly permeable in relation to the host rock and the fault zone must trend so as to maximize its effects, preferably parallel with general trend of the groundwater flow. Six explorations well identified at the North West Slope of Mount Talang and only two explorations well productive to be converted as exploitation well, while the others dry. Base on the geological setting, the hypothesis is faults play the role for groundwater flow. Fault occurrence analyzed from the lithology of the Bore Log each well by developed 2D hydrostratigraphic model.  Keywords: Groundwater, Hydrostratigraphy, Borehole, Volcanic.

Abstract

Slope stability has been a problem that studied on geotechnical works for the uncertainties such as varieties of soil behaviours to unpredicted failure of measurements and samplings. The Limit Equilibrium Method (LEM) has been popular for decades for its convenience but cannot determine displacement thus the result could be uncertain. As computational calculations have been developed, the Finite Element Method (FEM) began to use as a tool to not only determine factor of safety, but also determine displacement and forces that affect slope’s stability. This research was done to analysed slope stability using Shear Strength Reduction (SSR) and compared it to general method such as Limit Equilibrium Method (LEM). The research was conducted on a section in Sadawarna DAM ring road area, Subang, West Java. Slope on research area was divided into two layers with the bottom layer relatively non-cohesive compared to the top of layer. Both soil however dominantly consist with fine grain soil such as silt and clay. The upper layer of slope can contain more water with liquid limit of 73,46% compared to the lower layer with 68,27% liquid limit.  Simulation result showed slope that analysed using SSR method has Factor of Safety (FoS) 0,12 lower than LEM method. SSR method could be used to analysed pessimistic value at worst scenario and could predicted deformation of slope.

Abstract

Indonesia is a country with quite large geothermal potential with a volcanic distribution that extends from Sabang to Merauke. The total potential for developing geothermal energy in Indonesia can reach 28,579 MWE if it is developed properly. This study was conducted for determining a permeable zone at the research location which is in Sukarame Village that can be related to the emergence of hot springs as a geothermal surface manifestations, besides that this research can also provide an overview of the general direction of geological structures that may develop in the research area. The method used in this study is Fault fracture density analysis which can determine the zone with a high level of permeability based on the lineament pattern drawn from remote sensing interpretation. The main data source for interpreting lineament pattern analysis is DEMNAS imagery which built from 3 satellites imagery including IFSAR, TERRASAR-X and ALOS PALSAR. The lineament pattern that have been analyzed then processed computationally into rose a diagram to get the general direction of structural geology which may develop. The total length of the lineament pattern is also calculated to obtain the lineament density value that leads to the determination of the permeable zone. The lineament pattern in the research area has a general direction of northeast-southwest, while the lineament density value in the study area has a value range of 4534.714078 – 9084.119758 m/km2. Areas with a high level of permeability coincide with the point of hot springs as a manifestation of the geothermal surface.

Abstract

On February 3, 2024, a landslide occurred in Nanggerang Village, Sukasari District, Sumedang Regency, West Java Province. The landslide took place on the slopes of local farmland. This event was investigated through an analysis of the characteristics of the landslide material collected immediately after the landslide to determine its cause and mechanism. The landslide slope was divided into three units based on the type and degree of weathering: topsoil (OH), silt soil (MH), and weathered tuff rock. Three undisturbed samples were used in laboratory experiment to determine the materials’ physical characteristics. The physical characteristics of the two soil units, which included silt-sized grains, a specific gravity of roughly 2.6, a unit weight ranging from 21 to 45 kN/m3, and a plasticity index of 16 to 20, were not substantially different, according to the results of the laboratory tests. For the tuff rock, the unit weight was 17.31, water content 48.8, and specific gravity 22.7. The laboratory test results, and studio analysis found that the high water content in the soil due to rainfall caused the two soil units to exceed their liquid limit, resulting in a translational (arc) landslide. The presence of clay minerals due to weathering acted as a catalyst for the landslide. The addition of water from heavy rainfall made the material more fluid, changing the type of landslide to an earth flow.

Abstract

Landslides are significant geological events that can cause extensive damage to infrastructure, disrupt communities, and pose serious safety hazards. Understanding the mechanisms behind slope failures is crucial for effective risk mitigation and the development of engineering solutions to improve slope stability. According to data from the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB), Indonesia experienced 83 landslide events from January to February 2024. A notable landslide occurred in Nanggerang Village, Sukasari Sub-district, Sumedang Regency, West Java Province, on February 3, 2024. This landslide happened in a terraced rice field area following heavy rainfall earlier in the day. This study focuses on evaluating the failed slope to understand its condition just before failure and the material properties that influence the landslide event. The research methodology includes field data collection, soil testing, and slope stability analysis using the Limit Equilibrium Method (LEM) with a probabilistic approach via Slide 2 software. The analysis revealed that the failed slope had an average safety factor (FS) of 0.968 and a landslide probability of 58.897%. Sensitivity analysis showed that the cohesion parameter in the soil layer (CWZ) significantly impacts the safety factor of the slope. The study concludes that the reduction in soil cohesion and internal friction angle due to excessive moisture was the primary cause of the landslide, and the cohesion parameter of the soil layer is the most sensitive factor affecting slope stability.
