Mudflow is a type of mass movement with high velocity. It is comprised mainly of silt and clay-sized particles. Mudflow movement behavior involves undrained shear strength and viscosity as part of a resistance force that withstands shear stress as a driving force. Many methods have been developed to determine the value of viscosity. This study used Vallejo and Scovazzo’s modification method to determine the viscosity value, and assumed that mudflow material behaves as a Bingham plastic material. A flume channel was used in this study to measure the displacement and time required for mud to flow in order to obtain the mudflow transportation velocity. The measurement was conducted for four different slope angles and water contents. To compare the samples, Kaolin soil was used for the pilot project and Parakan Muncang soil was used as the natural landslide material in order to obtain the viscosity value throughout this study. This study aims to evaluate the capability of Vallejo and Scovazzo’s method to determine the viscosity value. We found that Vallejo and Scovazzo’s method cannot be used in a single slope angle. This approach requires that the sliding plane angle be adjusted for varying shear stress magnitudes, and that, consequently, different strain rates for each shear stress are obtained. The correlation curve between the shear stress and the strain rate, which corresponds to the Bingham plastic material curve, needs to be governed. The viscosity value was obtained by calculating the gradient of the linear tangent line. Furthermore, Vallejo and Scovazzo’s method is recommended only for tests at a low strain rate level, as a high strain level would cause difficulties in recording string displacement and mud transportation time. However, testing mud at a low strain rate level will obtain a higher value of mud viscosity that is not representative of mudflow viscosity.

Penggunaan cerucuk merupakan salah satu metode perbaikan tanah yang banyak diaplikasikan terutama pada lapisan tanah lunak untuk membantu meningkatkan kekuatan geser serta mengurangi penurunan tanah yang terjadi. Untuk mengetahui pengaruh dari penggunaan cerucuk terhadap kekuatan geser tanah, dilakukan pengujian dalam skala laboratorium pada tanah kaolin dengan uji triaksial terkonsolidasi takterdrainasi. Untuk pemodelan tanah lunaknya, digunakan slurry kaolin yang di-preloading dengan tekanan 100 kPa. Sedangkan untuk cerucuknya, dimodelkan dengan batang kayu berdiameter 2 mm dan variasi panjang 25 mm dan 50 mm. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan cerucuk di satu sisi meningkatkan kohesi tanah, namun di sisi lain menurunkan sudut gesernya. Peningkatan kohesi tersebut sebanding dengan panjang dan jumlah cerucuk yang digunakan. Demikian pula dengan penurunan sudut gesernya. ......Installation of the timber pile is one of reinforcement method applied mainly in the soft soil layer to help improve the shear strength and reduce the settlement. The laboratorium test was performed to investigate the effect of timber pile installation to shear strength of kaolin clay under consolidated undrained triaxial test. Kaolinite clay using to modelled soft soil layer. For modeling soft soil, kaolin slurry used in-preloading with 100 kPa pressure. As for timber pile modelled with the wooden stick with 2 mm of diameter and 25 mm of length for the first variation and 50 mm of length for the second variation. The test result show that timber pile reinforcement contribute to increase the cohesion parameter but in the other hand it decrease the friction angle. Increased cohesion is comparable to the length and number of timber pile used. Similarly, the decrease in friction angle.

Oil and gas exploration is increasingly moving to deepwater locations to meet the increasing energy demands. In this environment, floating structures with suction pile foundations are commonly used because their the cost-effectiveness. Some studies have been conducted to examine the behavior of suction piles in clays, but the clay conditions considered are typically normally consolidated and lightly overconsolidated. In this paper, the behavior of suction piles in underconsolidated clays and underconsolidated-normally consolidated clays adopted from actual deepwater soil conditions. The evaluation was performed using geotechnical 3D finite element software Plaxis. Suction piles with two different aspect ratios (L/D = 2 and 6) were considered, and the focus was on the effect of load angles (0? to 90?) and the effects of padeye position (0.5 L to 0.9 L). For short piles, the load angles had a relatively insignificant effect on the overall ultimate resistance, while for long piles, the angles affected the overall resistance considerably with a decrease in resistance up to about 50 percent. This different behavior could be explained from the observed pile deformation patterns. The padeye positions affected the pile resistances significantly as well with a decrease in resistance up to about 30 percent. Nevertheless, it can be concluded that the overall behavior of suction piles in a combined clay conditions is practically similar to that of piles in normally consolidated and overconsolidated clays.

Kemungkinan kejadian kegempaan di Indonesia sangat tinggi sehingga diperlukan struktur fondasi yang mampu menahan beban gempa dengan baik. Oleh karena itu, pada penelitian ini dilakukan studi pemodelan fondasi grup tiang dengan memasukkan pembebanan lateral sebagai simulasi beban gempa. Pemodelan ini memperhatikan keluaran berupa interaksi antara tiang fondasi dengan tanah pada tanah lempung. Selain itu, keluaran yang diperhatikan adalah seismic behavior berupa daktilitas dan kejadian sendi plastis yang dialami oleh tiang fondasi. Studi pemodelan dilakukan dengan mengacu pada penelitian Yuwono et al. (2020), di mana model fondasi grup tiang dibuat pada tanah lempung dengan variasi kuat geser undrained tanah 20 kPa, 40 kPa, 60 kPa, 80 kPa, dan 100 kPa. Pada penelitian ini, keluaran-keluaran yang diperhatikan mengikutsertakan pengaruh dari variasi kuat geser undrained tanah tersebut. Model tanah dan tiang dimodelkan dalam pendekatan nonlinier P-y dari Beam-on-Nonlinear-Winkler-Foundation (BNWF) melalui aplikasi OpenSees. Melalui pemodelan tersebut, dilakukan validasi penelitian terhadap model fondasi penelitian Yuwono et al. (2020)berdasarkan kurva pushover yang terbentuk. Dari penelitian ini, semakin besarnya nilai kuat geser undrained tanah maka kecenderungan nilai daktilitas lendutan semakin besar. Lalu, semakin besarnya nilai kuat geser undrained tanah juga mempercepat terjadinya sendi plastis pertama dan lebih memungkinan menghasilkan kejadian sendi plastis kedua. Nilai kuat geser undrained tanah yang semakin besar juga meningkatkan nilai gaya dalam momen bending dan aksial pada tiang-tiang fondasi. Pada penelitian ini, tidak terjadi kegagalan geser sama sekali pada seluruh tiang namun terjadi kegagalan lentur untuk lead pile pada tanah dengan kuat geser undrained tanah 100 kPa. Selain itu, terbentuk momen guling untuk fondasi grup tiang pada tanah dengan kuat geser undrained tanah 20 kPa dan 100 kPa. Adapun secara performa, nilai P-Multiplier yang semakin besar membuat peran tiang menjadi lebih besar pada sistem fondasi grup tiang dan semakin besarnya nilai kuat geser undrained tanah akan cenderung meningkatkan nilai faktor efisiensi grup. ......The possibility of earthquakes in Indonesia is very high, so a foundation structure that can withstand earthquake loads is adequately needed. Therefore, in this study, a pile group foundation modeling study was conducted by including lateral loading as a simulation of earthquake loads. This model pays attention to the output in the interactions between the foundation piles and the soil on clay soil. In addition, the output considered is seismic behavior in the form of ductility and the occurrence of plastic hinges experienced by the foundation piles. The modeling study was conducted with reference to the research of Yuwono et al. (2020), in which the pile group foundation model is made on clay soils with variations in the undrained shear strength of the soil 20 kPa, 40 kPa, 60 kPa, 80 kPa, and 100 kPa. In this study, the observed outputs include the effects of variations in the undrained shear strength of the soil. The soil and pile models were modeled in the P-y nonlinear approximation of the Beam-on-Nonlinear-Winkler-Foundation (BNWF) via the OpenSees application. Through this modeling, research validation was carried out on the research foundation model of Yuwono et al. (2020) based on the pushover curve formed. From this study, the greater the value of the undrained shear strength of the soil, the greater the tendency of the deflection ductility value. Then, the greater the value of the undrained shear strength of the soil also accelerates the occurrence of the first plastic hinge and is more likely to produce a second plastic hinge occurrence. The greater the value of the soil's undrained shear strength also increases the force's value in bending and axial moments on the foundation piles. In this study, there was no shear failure on the entire pile but flexural failure for the lead pile on the soil with an undrained shear strength of 100 kPa. In addition, the overturning moment is formed for pile group foundations on soils with undrained shear strengths of 20 kPa and 100 kPa. As for performance, the larger the P-Multiplier value, the greater the role of the pile in the pile group foundation system, and the greater the value of the undrained shear strength of the soil will tend to increase the value of the group efficiency factor.
