Abstract

For several decades, lightweight material applications have been extensively studied. Modifying various types of soil with EPS beads or lightweight geomaterials is an alternative construction material on site that can reduce excessive problems such as large deformation and lateral pressure. This study aims to examine the strength characteristics of lightweight geomaterials, namely lightweight modular block/LMB. LMB is composed of EPS beads, dredged soil, and cement. The cement amounts are 3%, 5%, 7%, and 9%, with EPS variations of 0.5% and 0.75% to the mixture weight. Laboratory tests were conducted to investigate the strength with unconfined compression and undrained direct shear tests. Before testing, the specimens were made using the one-layer static compaction method and were cured for 7, 14, and 28 days. This paper also presents explanations related to the specimens making and treatment by providing preliminary test results to compare the effectiveness of the three-layer and one-layer methods. Moreover, the curing treatments to avoid cracking were explained explicitly. The result shows linearity between both increasing the amount of cement and adding more curing time to the increase of the strength parameter. In contrast, adding more EPS decreased the strength, but adding cement helped increase the strength parameter with a remarkable value at C7% and C9%. Increasing the amount of EPS also reduced the density of the mixture by 18%–29%. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-03-014 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Recently, geotechnical studies have been conducted more progressively to utilize dredged soil. The inclusion of shredded rubber (SR) and natural minerals (NM) to stabilize dredged soil (DS) has become an exciting issue in the geotechnical field. This technique can be a promising environmental innovation for the future. This study aimed to investigate the unconfined compressive strength (UCS), California bearing ratio (CBR), and embankment performance under the strip footing test. The UCS sample was prepared using shredded rubber with a proportion of 2% and 3% and natural minerals with a proportion of 3%, 6%, 9%, and 12% from the dry weight of the soil. Whereas for the CBR samples (both in un-soaked and soaked conditions) were also prepared with a proportion of 2% and 3% shredded rubber and 6% and 9% natural minerals from the dry weight of the soil as well. The strip footing test was conducted in small-scale laboratory tests to evaluate the performance of stabilized dredged soil embankments. The applied load test was gradually increased until the embankment collapsed. The results showed that adding shredded rubber and natural minerals could increase the UCS value by 3–4 times and the CBR value by 2–3 times. Furthermore, 84% and 116% efficient results were obtained in the strip footing test for the 7 and 14 days of curing, respectively. Therefore, the utilization of dredged soil stabilized with SR and NM can be considered for use as a road foundation layer. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-05-016 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Indonesia is a tropical country threatened by many disasters, such as earthquakes and other collateral hazards (liquefaction). Utilization of micro pile on the liquefaction prone areas is quite popular to increase the soil bearing capacity. In this research, Eucalyptus Pellita Timber was used as micro-piles alternatives. This study aims to determine the effect of timber pile addition on soil settlement and the increase in bearing capacity. Some laboratory investigations were conducted, such as timber and soil physical and mechanical characteristics, preloading tests, and seismic load tests by using small-scale shaking table test. The preloading tests were carried out for 40 days, and the settlements were recorded every 24 hours. Subsequently, seismic load tests were conducted on sandy soil with Dr = 40%. The seismic duration was 37 seconds, with PGA = 0.3 g and f = 0.78 Hz. The preloading test results show that Eucalyptus pellita timber piles are able to reduce the settlement by 18%. and from seismic load testing results are able to reduce the settlement by 68% due to earthquake loads with PGA = 0.3g and a frequency of 0.78 Hz on sandy soil with the potential for liquefaction. This is due to the resistance at the tip of the pile and the skin friction on the timber pile. So, from the results of the model test, it shows that the use of Eucalyptus Pelita timber piles can be used as an alternative to handling sandy soils in areas where liquefaction has the potential to occur. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-06-016 Full Text: PDF
