ABSTRACTION

Structure Design of Abutment by Geo5 Program

The soil mechanics and designing technique got the revolution quickly in the
2000’s, especially in Indonesia which has many types of soil. By the developing
technology era of construction building, it is also in the geotechnical technology. To
make easy in the designing of foundation, especially; abutment, the using of software
is also needed. Based on the problem above, the writer want to investigate the usage of
program in designing the abutment, the program is Geo5. In this designing, the data is
taken from Pagotan Bridge Rehabilitation, Pacitan. Central Java. The abutment with
concrete as the structure, controlling the stability of sliding, overturning, soil weight
volume (ɤ) 1,424 gr/cm3; cohesion (c) 0 kN/cm2; friction angle (φ) 30o.
The geology condition of soil layer in the field is sand; the high of abutment is
5.8 m. The calculation method is done twice; manual calculation and Geo5 program
calculation.
After the calculation, the writer got the result of stability manual factor of sliding with
3.04>2 (safety), stability of overturning 3.07>2 (safety. The differences result between
manual calculation and Geo5 program is because the calculation of lateral earth
pressure is difference. The manual calculation used Rankine while Geo5 program used
modification Rankie, it is Mazindrani.
