Sumatera Barat memiliki topografi bergelombang dan curam. Sumatera Barat disamping memiliki kemiringan topografi lebih dari 30 derajat, juga memiliki curah hujan yang tinggi. Kondisi tersebut menjadikan kawasan ini memiliki potensi resiko longsor yang cukup tinggi. Masalah ini perlu ditanggulangi dengan melakukan penelitian tentang bagaimana karakteristik permukaan bidang gelincir sebagai studi pendahuluan mitigasi longsor di Sumatera Barat. Informasi tentang karakteristik bidang lincir di daerah rawan longsor di Sumatera Barat belum banyak tersedia. Dengan alasan di atas, dilakukan penelitian yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui kedalaman dan kemiringan bidang gelincir di Kota Padang dan Kabupaten Agam Sumatera Barat. Penelitian eksploratif ini menggunakan metode resistivitas dengan peralatan Ares (produksi Cheko). Data resistivitas semu diinterpretasikan menggunakan metode inversi Least-Square yang telah dioptimalkan untuk mendapatkan penampang 2D resistivitas sesungguhnya. Ketebalan dan kemiringan permukaan bidang gelincir daerah target dihitung berdasarkan penampang 2D resistivitas sesungguhnya dengan bantuan data topografi. Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata kedalaman dan sudut permukaan bidang gelincir di Kabupaten Agam Sumatera Barat masing-masing adalah 410 dan 16,5 meter. Rata-rata kedalaman dan sudut kemiringan permukaan bidang lincir di Padang masing-masing 380 dan 12,5 meter.

Karanganyar District is a hilly area with steep slopes, rock constituent of young volcanic deposits of Lawu Volcano products, thick soil and relatively high rainfall, so it is potential for large landslides in this region. The landuse in the Karanganyar District including the Tengklik Village is generally dominated by rice fields, seasonal gardens and settlements. Plantation made up in areas with steep topography has great influence on erosion and landslides. Similarly, many settlements are built on a slope so that the area is very vulnerable to the threat of landslides. In the rainy season landslides are common. The potential hazard of landslidesoccurred in 14 sub districts in Karanganyar District. Large landslides have occurred in Karanganyar on December 26, 2007 which claimed the lives of 62 people, with the greatest victims were in the Ledoksari Village, Tawangmangu. The Tengklik Village has already experienced creep type landslides, which have destroyed settlements, roads, seasonalgardens and all existing infrastructure in the area. In order to do the proper handling and anticipation of a catastrophic landslide, a variety of technological applications landslides using geographic information system (GIS) was then carried out, to detect the configuration of 2D geoelectrical subsurface prone areas for landslide risk study and regional planning.

Abstract Adhesion of ceramic coatings considerably depends on the surface characteristics of blasted substrates. The roughened surfaces have two kinds of topographical characteristics, one is of their cross section and the other is of planar. The roughened surfaces is generated by angled grit-blasting process which can be expected to improve the adhesion of ceramic coatings. The topography of the roughened surfaces has fractal characteristics in their cross section and has been more effectively related to the adhesive strength of ceramic coatings than average surface roughness traditionally used. This paper presents that fractal characteristics is evaluated in the planar topography of the blasted surfaces and shows that the planar fractal characteristics is closely related adhesion of ceramic coatings. The planar fractal dimension is evaluated by SIA (Slit Island Analysis) which needs the height data on the roughened surface. Those data are obtained by a laser-microscope in confocal type.

Characteristic of earthquake in a region can be studied through its physical characteristics, such as magnitude and earthquakes energy. Energy which is produced by earthquake can be predicted from magnitude. So far, a lot of research produces different equation to predict of earthquake energy that is depending on zone of earthquake occurred. The purpose of descriptive fundamental research was to find equation for ground acceleration which is presented by local magnitude earthquake for West Sumatra region. Data sounder for research were collected from BMG Padang Panjang which was recorded from 1982 to 2008. Data are analyzed by using least square inversion method. Equation ground acceleration is log αac = 0.451Io +0.146 ML + 0.744 log ∆ - 2.644, which local magnitude is ML = 0.413I0 – 0.785 Log H + 5.334 and intensity of the earthquake in the epicenter is Io = I + 3 log (Δ/H) + 0.01 (ΔH).

AbstractIn the current study, electrolytic deposition using two different electrodes, copper (Cu) and nickel (Ni) was investigated with the aim of protecting the worn surface during mechanical sectioning and polishing, for a posterior examination of the sub-surface microstructure. The efficacies of the two coatings were visually assessed based on its adhesivity and the ability to protect the wear tracks of an as-cast 26% Cr high chromium cast iron (HCCI) alloy. It was observed that electrodeposition using Cu as the electrode was ineffective owing to a poor adhesivity of the coating on the HCCI surface. The coating had peeled off at several regions across the cross-section during the mechanical sectioning. On the other hand, Ni electroplating using Ni strike as the electrolyte was successfully able to protect the wear track, and the sub-surface characteristics of the wear track could be clearly visualized. A uniform coating thickness of about 8 µm was deposited after 30–40 min with the current density maintained between 1 and 5 A/dm2. The presence of the Ni coating also acted as a protective barrier preventing the ejection of the broken carbide fragments underneath the wear track.
