INFLUENCE DIAMETER VARIATION OF LIME COLUMN ABOVE SAND
COLUMN IN SOFT CLAY SOIL STABILIZATION
ABSTRACT
There are various types of soil one of them is soft clay soil. This soil type has poor
characteristics, usually characterized by extreme water content, large compressibility,
and small permeability coefficient. If we are going to construct a building in areas that
have poor soil characteristics, so we must improve the characteristics of soil first
because if directly used to construct the building will be in danger. At this research soil
stabilization from Troketon village, Pedan districts, Klaten regency of Central Java
Indonesia using vertical drain lime column above sand column with diameter variation
10 cm and 20 cm. From each diameter taken 6 samples. From distance 16.67 cm of
column, take 1 sample from lime zone, 1 sample from zone between lime-sand, and 1
sample from sand zone. From distance 50 cm of column also take same sample like
from distance of column 16.67 cm. This research aims to determine the effect of lime
column above sand column on soft clay soil in terms of mechanical and physical
properties. From the research, soil stabilization using lime column above sand column
have improved the soil properties. For mechanical properties, it’s can increase the Cv
value and decrease the Cc and Sc value. And for physical properties it’s can decrease
the specific gravity (Gs) value, LL value, and PI value. Also Increase the PL value and
SL value. Getting close to the column, is the better effect on the characteristics of soil.
Also bigger diameter of column which is used to stabilized the soil is more effective to
improve the soil characteristic.
Keywords: Soft clay, lime column above sand column, diameter column, mechanical
properties, physical properties.
ABSTRAK
Ada berbagai jenis tanah salah satunya adalah tanah lempung lunak. Jenis tanah ini
memiliki karakteristik yang buruk, biasanya ditandai dengan kadar air yang ekstrim,
kompresibilitas besar, dan koefisien permeabilitas kecil. Jika kita akan membangun
gedung di daerah yang memiliki karakteristik tanah yang buruk, jadi kita harus
meningkatkan karakteristik tanah lebih dulu karena jika langsung digunakan untuk
membangun gedung akan berada dalam bahaya. Pada penelitian ini, stabilisasi tanah
dari desa Troketon, kecamatan Pedan, Kabupaten Klaten Jawa Tengah Indonesia
menggunakan drainasi vertikal kolom kapur di atas kolom pasir dengan variasi
diameter 10 cm dan 20 cm. Dari masing-masing diameter diambil 6 sampel. Dari jarak
16,67 cm pada kolom, ambil 1 sampel dari zona kapur, 1 sampel dari zona antara
kapur-pasir, dan 1 sampel dari zona pasir. Dari jarak 50 cm dari kolom juga ambil
sampel yang sama seperti dari jarak kolom 16,67 cm. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk
mengetahui pengaruh kolom kapur di atas kolom pasir di tanah lempung lunak dalam
hal sifat fisik dan mekanik. Dari hasil penelitian, stabilisasi tanah dengan
menggunakan kolom kapur di atas kolom pasir telah meningkatkan sifat-sifat tanah.
Untuk sifat mekanik, hal ini dapat meningkatkan nilai Cv dan mengurangi nilai Cc dan
Sc. Dan untuk sifat fisik dapat menurunkan nilai berat jenis (Gs), nilai LL, dan nilai
PI, juga meningkatkan nilai PL dan nilai SL. Semakin dekat dengan kolom, merupakan
pengaruh yang semakin baik pada karakteristik tanah. Serta diameter lebih besar dari
kolom yang digunakan untuk menstabilkan tanah lebih efektif untuk meningkatkan
karakteristik tanah.
Kata-kata kunci: Lempung lunak, kolom kapur diatas kolom pasir, diameter kolom,
sifat mekanik, sifat fisik
