The dynamic response of tailings from a gold mine located in western Quebec was evaluated using cyclic laboratory testing. These tailings are classified as nonplastic silt and sand. Specimens of the tailings were prepared as slurries, consolidated to vertical effective stresses of 100–400 kPa, and subjected to cyclic direct simple shear testing with cyclic stress ratio, CSR, values between 0.075 and 0.15. The shear modulus reduction of the tailings under cyclic loading was found to be fairly similar to that described for clean sands in the literature. The cyclic resistance ratio, CRR (which reflects the liquefaction resistance), of the samples was not significantly affected by the effective consolidation stress (in the range considered here). Analysis of test results with the simplified method of liquefaction evaluation indicates that this method may be applicable to these tailings. However, other factors, such as the possible effects of layering and ageing of the tailings in situ, should also be considered in such an assessment.

In this study, a series of cyclic direct simple shear tests were conducted on Pohang sand, Jumunjin sand, and Ottawa sand. The cyclic resistance ratio (CRR) was derived on the basis of the test results obtained. For verification of the effect of particle distribution on liquefaction resistance, the simplified method for evaluation of the possibility of liquefaction was used to assess these sands. The test results showed that the cyclic resistance ratio of Pohang sand was the lowest, which was consistent with the result of the simplified evaluation method for determining the possibility of liquefaction. In addition, the results showed that the liquefaction resistance increased for particle shapes being more angular than round. Normalization was subsequently applied to minimize the effects of the different factors, and the correlation between the CRR<sub>N=10</sub> normalization curve and the CRR<sub>N=15</sub> normalization curve was confirmed.

Likuifaksi merupakan fenomena dimana kekuatan tahanan tanah berkurang karena meningkatnya tegangan air pori saat gempa bumi berlangsung. Likuifaksi dibagi menjadi dua tipe berdasarkan proses kejadiannya yaitu flow liquefaction dan cyclic mobility. Hal pertama dalam analisis potensi likuifaksi adalah pemeriksaan kerentanan likuifaksi dari karakteristik tanah. Pemeriksaan kerentanan menggunakan empat metode yaitu Chinese criteria, metode Seed et al. dan metode Bray dan Sancio. Jika tanah menunjukan rentan terhadap likuifaksi, perhitungan evaluasi dapat dilanjutkan jika tidak maka perhitungan tidak dilanjutkan. Setelah menentukan kerentanan, tanah yang rentan likuifaksi akan ditentukan tipe likuifaksi menggunakan state criteria. Penentuan tipe likuifaksi dapat dilihat dari grafik hubungan deviatoric stress (q), mean effective stress (p’) dan axial strain (εa). Evaluasi potensi likuifaksi menggunakan metode cyclic strain approach. Metode ini menggunakan dua variabel yaitu cyclic stress ratio (CSR) dan cyclic resistance ratio (CRR) yang dapat ditentukan dari data tes lapangan untuk menentukan potensi likuifaksi setiap lapisan tanah. Tes lapangan yang digunakan adalah standard penetration test (SPT) dan cone penetration test (CPT). Penelitian ini menganalisa potensi cyclic mobility pada tanah kohesif serta faktor keamanan. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa tipe likuifaksi yang terjadi adalah cyclic mobility dan adanya potensi likuifaksi pada tanah kohesif.

Overburden Stress

The cyclic resistance of sand unit 3c at Duncan Dam in British Columbia for overburden stresses of about 2 to 12 atm (1 atm = 101.325 kPa) was evaluated previously using cyclic undrained direct simple shear (DSS) and cyclic undrained triaxial testing of samples obtained using frozen sampling techniques. The in situ standard penetration test (SPT) and laboratory testing results provide a unique set of data for evaluating how the effects of effective overburden stress are accounted for in liquefaction evaluation procedures. The present study re-examines the cyclic resistance of these sands based on the field and laboratory test data for the unit 3c sands underlying Duncan Dam relative to the site-specific procedures developed by Pillai and Byrne and the liquefaction triggering evaluation procedures presented by Idriss and Boulanger, Youd et al., and Cetin et al. The differences in the results and the reasons for the differences are discussed.

Fenomena likuifaksi akibat gempa merupakan hilang/berkurangnya daya dukung tanah karena hilangnya inter-granular stress antar butir-butir tanah untuk menahan beban getaran gempa akibat naiknya tegangan air pori. Dampak likuifaksi dapat menimbulkan kerugian dan kerusakan yang besar pada infrastruktur. Evaluasi potensi likuifaksi dilakukan di kawasan Underpass Yogyakarta International Airport  (YIA) dengan menggunakan data N-SPT sebanyak lima data bor. Analisis potensi likuifaksi bertujuan untuk mengetahui nilai safety factor (SF) di kawasan tersebut. Peristiwa likuifaksi akan terjadi jika nilai SF lebih kecil dari satu. Nilai safety factor (SF) adalah perbandingan nilai Cyclic Resistance Ratio (CRR) yang merupakan tahanan tanah terhadap likuifaksi dan Cyclic Stress Ratio (CSR)  yang merupakan tegangan geser yang timbul akibat gempa. Hasil analisis potensi likuifaksi di kawasan Underpass YIA menunjukan bahwa lapisan tanah pasir di Underpass YIA berpotensi mengalami likuifaksi pada kedalaman 4-6 m dari permukaan tanah pada titik bor BH01 dan BH05. Sedangkan pada titik bor BH02, BH03, dan BH04, lapisan tanah pasir di lokasi Underpass YIA tidak berpotensi terjadi likuifaksi. Untuk menghilangkan potensi terjadinya likuifaksi pada struktur underpass dilakukan penggalian di kedalaman 4-5 m serta dilakukan penggantian material (replacement) tanah asli dengan material sirtu setebal 50 cm.

Liquefaction is an incident where the soil losses its shear strength due to increased porewater stress due to the incident of very fast cyclic loading in a short time. Liquefaction event due to earthquakes can cause structural failure of the building. In this case, the Sanggala Building Project in Jakarta exists at location of liquefaction potential susceptible area, and design analysis only uses the data of Cone Penetration Test (CPT). Stability analysis of pile due to liquefaction potential is aimed to determine the value of the factor of safety (FS) in the area, which is analyzed by comparing the value of Cyclic Stress Ratio (CSR) due to the earthquake and Cyclic Resistance Ratio (CRR) as the soil resistance to resist liquefaction potential. Based on the analysis and calculations performed, was obtained the value of FS > 1, which means actually the soil does not have the liquefaction potential. However, this study still takes into consideration the liquefaction potential as one of requirements of local regulation when the analysis of bearing capacity of pile foundation analyzed by the method of Schmertmann (1978) in a depth of 25 m and the results was indicated by 1660,27 kN for single pile and 12081,63 kN for the group piles. Furthermore, all these results from several stability calculations, the pile foundation system stable from liquefaction potential.

ABSTRAKPada hari Minggu, 5 Agustus 2018 pukul 19:46 WITA, gempa bumi mengguncang wilayah Labuan, Lombok, Nusa Tenggara Barat dengan skala magnitudo M7,0. Akibat guncangan tersebut, terjadi peristiwa likuefaksi di sebagian wilayah Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Barat dan menimbulkan kerusakan yang signifikan. Peristiwa likuefaksi dapat terjadi apabila mengalami peningkatan tekanan air pori yang dipicu oleh gempa bumi sehingga mengakibatkan tanah kehilangan kekakuan dan kuat geser tanah. Likuefaksi pada umumnya terjadi pada tanah pasir lepas dengan kondisi jenuh air. Dalam menganalisis potensi terjadinya likuefaksi di lokasi penelitian, digunakan nilai percepatan puncak di batuan dasar (PGA) sebesar 4,13 m/s2dan menggunakan data tanah hasil pengujian Standard Penetration Test (SPT). Hasil perbandingan antara ketahanan tanah atau Cyclic Resistance Ratio (CRR) dengan kemampuan tanah terlikuefaksi atau Cyclic Stress Ratio (CSR) menunjukkan bahwa likuefaksi terjadi pada rata-rata kedalaman 5,5 m – 19.5 m.Kata kunci: likuefaksi, cyclic stress ratio (CSR), cyclic resistance ratio (CRR), faktor keamanan (FK) ABSTRACTOn Sunday, August 5 2018 at 19:46 WITA, an earthquake has shook Labuan, Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara with magnitude 7.0 scale. As a result of the earthquake, liquefaction occurred in several regions of West Nusa Tenggara and caused severe damage. Liquefaction can occure when an increase in pore water pressure is triggered by an earthquake, which causes the soil losing its shear strength and stiffness. Liquefaction mostly occured in sand loose and saturated condition. Analysis of liquefaction based on Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) at the research site 4.13 m/s2 were done according to the data of SPT (Standard Penetration Test). By comparing the value of soil resistance to liquefaction or Cyclic Resistance Ratio (CRR) and the ability of soil to be liquefied or Cyclic Stress Ratio (CSR), the analysis shows the soil in that area are liquefied at depth of 5.5 m – 19.5 m.Keywords: liquefaction, cyclic stress ratio (CSR), cyclic resistance ratio (CRR), safety of factor (SF)

Electrolytic desaturation is a potential method for improving the liquefaction resistance of the liquefiable foundation by reducing the soil saturation. In this study, in-situ desaturation tests were performed to investigate the resistivity of soil at different depth and the water level of the foundation under different current. The test results show that at constant currents of 1 A (Ampere, unit of the direct current), 2 A and 3 A, the saturation of the treated foundation reached 87%, 83% and 80%. During the electrolysis process, the generated gas migrates vertically and horizontally under the influence of buoyancy and gas pressure. In the end of electrolysis, the gas inside the sand foundation basically migrates vertically only. The higher current intensity employed for electrolysis will affect the uniformity and stability of the gas. At constant currents of 1 A, 2 A and 3 A, the difference between the maximum and minimum degree of saturation in the treated foundation was 14%, 18% and 19%; and after electrolysis halted for 144 h, the saturation in the treated foundation was 90%, 85% and 87%. The electricity consumption analysis indicates that the desaturation method has excellent economic benefits in the treatment of saturated sand foundations.

ABSTRACTIndonesia is a country located in the most active earthquake paths in the world. This makes Indonesia prone to earthquakes and has the potential to experience liquefaction. Liquefaction can cause pile failure, so several things need to be considered in designing piles on potentially liquefied soils. One project in Sulawesi has a profile of uniform grained saturated soil that is susceptible to liquefaction. Two things that need to be considered in the design of piles on potentially liquefied soils is to ignore the capacity of pile friction and calculate the moment due to lateral spreading effects. Calculation of liquefaction potential is done by comparing the ratio of the cyclic stress and the cyclic resistance ratio and is compared by four other methods namely: the Seed et al. (2003), Tsuchida (1970), Seed et al. (2003), and Bray & Sancio (2004). The lateral spreading effect is calculated by referring to the JRA Code where the liquefied soil layer gives pressure to the pile at 30% of the overburden stress and the soil layer above the liquefied soil gives passive soil pressure to the pole. The moment effect caused by lateral spreading results in the addition of dimensions or number of poles.Keywords: liquefaction; lateral spreading; bearing capacity; JRA Code; pile foundationABSTRAKIndonesia adalah negara yang terletak di jalur gempa teraktif di dunia. Hal ini menyebabkan Indonesia rawan gempa dan memiliki potensi untuk mengalami likuifaksi. Likuifaksi dapat menyebabkan kerusakan/kegagalan struktur yang sangat merugikan, sehingga perlu diperhatikan beberapa hal dalam merancang tiang pada tanah berpotensi likuifaksi. Salah satu proyek di Sulawesi memiliki profil tanah pasir berbutir seragam dan jenuh air yang memiliki potensi likuifaksi. Dua hal yang perlu diperhitungkan dalam perancangan tiang pada tanah berpotensi likuifaksi adalah mengabaikan daya dukung friksi tiang dan memperhitungkan momen akibat efek lateral spreading. Perhitungan potensi likuifaksi dilakukan dengan membandingkan rasio tegangan siklik (CSR) dan rasio hambatan siklik (CRR) serta dibandingkan dengan empat metode lainnya yaitu: metode Seed et al. (2003), Tsuchida (1970), Seed et al. (2003), dan Bray & Sancio (2004). Daya dukung aksial pada tiang pancang mengalami pengurangan 32% akibat lapisan tanah yang terlikuifaksi. Efek lateral spreading dihitung dengan acuan JRA Code dimana lapisan tanah terlikuifaksi memberikan tekanan ke tiang sebesar 30% dari tegangan overburden dan lapisan tanah di atas tanah terlikuifaksi memberikan tekanan tanah pasif ke tiang. Efek momen yang diakibatkan oleh lateral spreading mengakibatkan penambahan dimensi ataupun jumlah tiang.Kata kunci: likuifaksi; lateral spreading; daya dukung; JRA Code; fondasi tiang

The cyclic simple shear tests can be used to reproduce in laboratory the complex behaviour of the soil during an earthquake, simulating the continuous rotation of the principal stress axes. In this research a comparison of results between cyclic simple shear tests carried out with confining pressure or confining rings is reported. A cyclic simple shear apparatus is used to carry out tests with confining rings (the conventional way to carry out cyclic simple shear tests) and with a confining pressure applied to the specimen through pressurized water, where the K0 condition during consolidation is guaranteed by a sophisticated control system. The apparatus, in both the configurations, is described in detail. All tests were carried out on reconstituted specimens of an Italian sand with similar initial conditions, such as low relative density and confining pressure. All experimental results are reported in the plane cyclic stress ratio (CSR) and number of cycles where liquefaction occurs (Nliq) in order to evaluate the effect of confinement on the liquefaction resistance of the studied sand.
