Dalam bidang konstruksi Tanah adalah suatu media pijakan inti dari sebuah bangunan. Struktur Tanah yang sebagian banyak terdapat lempung didalam komponennya adalah bersifat Monmorillonite. Tingkat stabilitas tanah yang bersifat Montmorillonite terbilang kurang bagus terhadap daya topang infrastruktur bangunan. Cara stabilitas tanah pada penelitian berikut adalah dengan menggunakan abu daun pada variasi penambahan 5%, 10%, 15% dan 20% dengan melakukan pengujian Water Content dan uji gradasi pada struktur tanah asli yang digunakan sebagai sampel penelitian, Uji tanah sampel diambil dari area perumahan wilis indah kota Kediri yang bersifat Montmorillonite. Pada test uji stabilitas tanah adalah dengan menggunakan benda uji mix tanah montmorillonite dengan abu daun dengan melakukan uji Berat Isi, Batas konsistensi (Atterberg Limit) dan Pemadatan Tanah (Proctor). Pada hasil penelitian struktur tanah asli dikategorikan momoroillonite dan setelah ditambah ampas kopi pada penambahan divariasi maksimal sebesar 20%, nilai Liquid Limit naik menjadi 43% dan nilai Plastic Limit mengalami kenaikan menjadi 31,64%, sehingga index plastic dapat mengalami peningkatan menjadi 11,36%. Saat uji pemadatan dengan kondisi benda uji padat sempurna, berat volume kering tanah asli sebesar 6,72 gr/cm3 dan setelah ditambahkan abu daun sebesar 20% mengalami peningkatan berat volume kering menjadi 10,56 gr/cm3.Kata Kunci: Tanah, Abu daun, Stabilitas Tanah

Effect of glass fines and cement as a composite mixture on the geotechnical properties of a poor lateritic soil obtained from a borrow pit at Aroje, Ogbomoso, Nigeria was investigated as a reuse method of managing wasted glass. Glass fines up to 12% at intervals of 4% by mass of the soil sample were added to the lateritic soil stabilized with cement of 0, 2, 4, and 6% by mass of the soil sample. Sieve analysis, Atterberg limit, British Standard (BS) Compaction, California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) tests were conducted on the stabilized soil specimens. Results showed that Liquid Limit (LL), Plastic Limit (PL) and Plasticity Index (PI) decreased while compaction and UCS of the lateritic soil increased from 0 to 8% addition of glass fines. The CBR of the soil increased continuously from 0 to 12% glass contents. However, addition of cement increased the LL and PI while it decreased the PL between 0 and 4% but increased beyond this range. The compaction, UCS and CBR of the stabilized soil increased significantly with increasing cement content. Hence, the soil can be stabilized with the addition of 8% glass fines and 6% cement content to be used as improved subgrade material for construction of light trafficked pavement.

Atterberg limit tests were preformed on diesel oil contaminated soil and crude oil contaminated soil. The results show that Atterberg limits reduced with increasing of diesel oil content. When crude oil content changed from 0 to 8%, it has little effect on Atterberg limits. However, it rose from 8% to 16%, plastic limit slightly decreased, but liquid limit increased remarkably. A "pseudo-viscosity" caused by crude oil is the key factor for this phenomenon.

ABSTRAKTanah berfungsi sebagai media pijakan inti dari sebuah bangunan. Namun tingkat stabilitas dari tanah berlempung terbilang kurang mumpuni terhadap daya dukung infrastruktur bangunan ditopangnya, terlebih pada kerusakan lapisan tanah akibat stabilitas tanah yang kurang konsisten.Perbaikan stabilitas tanah lempung pada penelitian berikut menggunakan limbah kertas. variasi penambahan 7.5%, 10%, 15% dan 20% dengan dilakukan pengujian kadar air dan gradasi butir pada struktur tanah asli yang mengalami kerusakan lapisan tanah, sebagai sampel pengujian tanah diambil dari area Jl. Totok Kerot Kecamatan Pagu Kabupaten Kediri yang mengalami kerusakan permukaan jalan akibat efek lendutan tanah. Pada pengujian perbaikan stabilitas tanah menggunakan benda uji mix tanah dengan limbah kertas dilakukan uji Berat Isi, Batas konsistensi (Atterberg Limit) dan Pemadatan Tanah (Proctor).Pada hasil penelitian aktivitas tanah, struktur tanah asli  dikategorikan momoroillonite dan setelah ditambahkan limbah kertas pada variasi penambahan optimum yaitu sebesar 20% dari berat kering benda uji, nilai Liquid Limit turun menjadi 43% dan nilai Plastic Limit meningkat menjadi 31,64%, sehingga index plastic dapat mengalami penurunan hingga menjadi 11,36%.

Background: Shear strength of soil, the magnitude of shear stress that a soil can maintain, is an important factor in geotechnical engineering. Objective: The main objective of this study is dedicated to the development of a machine learning algorithm, namely Support Vector Machine (SVM) to predict the shear strength of soil based on 6 input variables such as clay content, moisture content, specific gravity, void ratio, liquid limit and plastic limit. Methods: An important number of experimental measurements, including more than 500 samples was gathered from the Long Phu 1 power plant project’s technical reports. The accuracy of the proposed SVM was evaluated using statistical indicators such as the coefficient of correlation (R), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE) over a number of 200 simulations taking into account the random sampling effect. Finally, the most accurate SVM model was used to interpret the prediction results due to Partial Dependence Plots (PDP). Results: Validation results showed that SVM model performed well for prediction of soil shear strength (R = 0.9 to 0.95), and the moisture content, liquid limit and plastic limit were found as the three most affecting features to the prediction of soil shear strength. Conclusion: This study might help in quick and accurate prediction of soil shear strength for practical purposes in civil engineering.

AbstractThe plastic properties of clays are sufficiently variable to offer a simple but practical aid to identification. This can be done by using their Atterberg 'plastic limit' and 'plasticity index' values as parameters for an identification chart. The advantages and disadvantages of the technique are discussed, and results for a wide variety of clay minerals, particularly industrial clay types, are illustrated. A brief summary is also given of the effect of non-clay impurities, and reference is made to the correlation of Atterberg limit values with other physical properties of clays.

Compression index and coefficient of consolidation are two most important parameters in obtaining the consolidation characteristics of cohesive soil. Considerable time and effort are required to obtain these parameters from the oedometer test. Therefore, this study aims to correlate these two parameters with the index properties. Five remoulded samples are tested for their physical properties as well as their consolidation characteristics. The results show good relationship was obtained for the liquid limit and the compression index while the coefficient of consolidation is best correlated with the plastic limit. Multiple regression analysis was performed to improve the prediction. Liquid limit is best coupled with specific gravity to estimate the compression index while plastic limit and plastic index can be used to best predict the coefficient of consolidation.

Experimental evidence is produced to show that it is reasonable to assign a unique strength to all soils when at their respective liquid limits, and to redefine the plastic limit as the water content at which the strength is 100 times that at the liquid limit. Combining these assumptions with ideas of critical state soil mechanics it is then possible to relate the compression index of the remoulded soil to its plasticity index, and to suggest a unique relation between remoulded strength and liquidity index, irrespective of actual values of liquid and plastic limits. Field data from the Gulf of Mexico and from the North Sea are presented in support of these relations. The predictions of strength are best for overconsolidated clays, having water contents near the plastic limit.Recently in the United Kingdom the cone penetrometer has become the recommended test for determination of the liquid limit, in preference to the Casagrande test. Having redefined the plastic limit it would be logical to use the cone penetrometer to determine this too, by using cones with different weights. Experimental data are shown to illustrate and support this proposal.
