Abstract: The Tapaktuan-Bakongan is the national road access to the South-West part of Aceh. Topographically shows that the road consist of canyon and a very steep cliff, which will be impossible to build more infracstructure using either blasting or cut and fill method with heavy equipment. Referring to the situation, the study about anchor tensile strength, which is used in construction of road access expansion using cantilever method is conducted. The research methode is begin by collecting the real data which are Standard Penetration Test data (SPT) SNI 4153-2018 and tensile graund anchor proving test (Bristish Satndard 8081:1981) and geological data taken from SPT drilling data. Furthermore, the data involved N-SPT, Joint Roughness Coefficient (JRC), shear stress will be analyzed and yield loading test value. Finally, from the loading test value, the reseacher will evaluate the stability of tensile capacity and safety factor (SF) of ground anchor. From the data analysis obtained that rock mass of STA 1+ 280 or KM. 461 +480 geologically contain unrigid and very strong limestone with N-SPT value greater than 50 where the rock condition is solid concrete and could be crushed using blasting method. Five samples are taken from the 10 meters driling for the laboratory test and obtain the minimum compressive strength is 51,10 MPa and maximum is 103,89 MPa with JRC from 2 to 20. In addition, the rock quality designation (RQD) calculation yield the average stone quality is 60,8% which means the rock has medium quality. Ground anchor failure if the proving test over 80% UTS(ultimate tensile strength)   i.e. the load increment reaches 92,55% UTS or 54 MPa. Therefore, the proving test maximum capacity for ground anchor is 54 Mpa and safety factor is 1,85 which are suitable to geological condition research area.Abstrak: Ruas jalan Tapaktuan – Bakongan merupakan ruas jalan nasional lintas Barat – Selatan Aceh. Kondisi topografi ruas jalan terdiri dari tebing yang terjal dan lereng yang curam sehingga tidak memungkinkan dilaksanakan pelaksanaan kontruksi pembangunan/peningkatan dengan metode blasting (penggunaan bahan peledak) maupun metode cut and fill yang menggunakan alat-alat berat. Dari permasalahan tersebut dilakukan sebuah kajian mengenai kuat tarik angker yang digunakan pada pelaksanaan pembangunan pelebaran badan jalan dengan menggunakan metode kantilever untuk daerah dengan kondisi topograsi tebing yang terjal dan lereng yang curam. Metode yang diterapkan pada penelitian ini diawali dengan pengumpulan data riil yang meliputi data Standard Penetration Test (SPT) SNI 4153-2008 dan uji tarik proving test ground anchor (British Standard 8081:1981) dan data geologi yang dihasilkan dari data pengeboran SPT. Selanjutnya dari data-data yang diperoleh dilakukan analisis data yang meliputi analisis nilai N-SPT, Joint Roughnes Coefficient (JRC), gaya geser, yang menghasilkan angka loading test. Dari data hasil loading test dapat dievaluasi stabilitas kapasitas tarik dan safety factor (SF). Dari data analisis didapatkan bahwasanya kondisi geologi batuan di STA 1+ 280 atau KM. 461 + 480 terdiri dari batu gamping tidak lapuk dan sangat keras dan dapat dipecahkan dengan peledakan dengan nilai N-SPT lebih besar dari 50 dimana kondisi batuan sangat padat. Dari hasil pengeboran sepanjang 10 meter diambil lima sampel untuk di uji laboratorium dan diperoleh nilai compressive strength minimal 51,10 MPa dan maksimum 103,89 MPa dengan nilai JRC 2-20. Selain daripada itu hasil perhitungan rock quality designation (RQD) menunjukkan kualitas batuan pada lokasi kajian rata-rata 60,8% yang berarti kualitas batuannya adalah sedang. Ground anchor putus pada saat uji tarik proving test diatas pembebanan 80% UTS yaitu pembebanan sampai 92,55% UTS (ultimate tensile strength) atau sebesar 54 MPa. Dengan demikian kapasitas maksimum hasil uji tarik proving test ground anchor yaitu sebesar 54 MPa dengan faktor keamanan 1,85 sesuai dengan kondisi geologi daerah kajian.

Empirical Relations

Existing empirical methods for determining the end-bearing capacity, qmax, use empirical relations between qmax and the unconfined compressive strength of intact rock, σc. As rock-socketed shafts are supported by the rock mass, not just the intact rock, one should consider not only the intact rock properties, but also the influence of discontinuities on rock mass properties when determining qmax. Although semi-empirical and analytical methods have been developed that can consider the effect of discontinuities, they are more complicated than the empirical relations and require information about discontinuities that is often not available or difficult to obtain in engineering practice. In this paper, an empirical relation between qmax and the unconfined compressive strength of rock mass, σcm, is developed. The new empirical relation explicitly considers the effect of discontinuities represented by rock quality designation (RQD), which is the parameter normally obtained in engineering practice. The accuracy of the expression for estimating σcm based on RQD is verified by comparing its estimation values with those from the existing empirical expressions based on rock mass classification. Two examples are presented to show the application of the newly developed empirical relation between qmax and σcm.

Karakterisasi massa batuan diperlukan dalam suatu rancangan bukaan batuan, dimana perhitungan sifat-sifat teknis dari massa batuan menjadi hal yang penting untuk diperhatikan. Sektor Lemajung merupakan salah satu area prospek untuk penambangan uranium di Kalan, Kalimantan Barat. Tujuan penelitian adalah mendapatkan data karakteristik massa batuan yang merupakan data dasar bagi perencanaan pengembangan teknik penambangan cebakan bahan galian. Metodologi yang digunakan adalah dengan pengambilan contoh batuan untuk analisis laboratorium mekanika batuan, pengamatan rekahan, dan pengamatan kondisi airtanah. Parameter batuan yang dianalisis meliputi uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), rock quality designation (RQD), jarak rekahan, kondisi rekahan, dan airtanah. Hasil analisis menyimpulkan bahwa metalanau sebagai litologi yang mengandung uranium di Sektor Lemajung mempunyai nilai rock mass rating (RMR) sebesar 56 atau kelas massa batuan III: fair rock pada kedalaman sekitar 60 m, dan pada kedalaman 280 m nilai RMR mencapai 82 atau kelas massa batuan I: very good rock. Data nilai RMR tersebut selanjutnya dapat digunakan dalam analisis pembuatan terowongan pada model tambang bawah tanah atau analisis kestabilan lereng pada model tambang terbuka. Rock mass characterization is required in design of rock opening, which calculation of engineering characters of rock mass become one important parameter toconsider.

Hwangtoh (loess) has pozzolanic properties that mean it can be used as a cement admixture when activated at high temperatures, and that it can be used in combination with building materials such as fly ash or blast furnace slag. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the compressive strength and the brick bond strength of various mortars containing hwangtoh, and also to find the optimum mixing conditions for the use of hwangtoh. It was found that the mortars’ strength properties are significantly influenced by the water/cement ratio W/C and the activated hwangtoh substitution ratio. We recommend the following materials and mixing conditions: W/C 60%, a cement substitution ratio of activated hwangtoh of 20 ~ 25%, and the addition of 10% blast furnace slag to improve the compressive strength of such mortars.

This article is motivated by civil fire safety. Fire-prevention engineering demands a wide range of information about building materials including alternative cements, for instance CSA-cement. Because of exposure of the cement-base material to a high temperature, its strength properties deteriorate due to dehydration connected with phase and microstructure changes. Previous research indicated that the main endothermic reaction of CSA-based composite, dehydration of ettringite, might be used as a cooling system for a metal structure during fire-load. This article examines visual assessment, microstructure, density, as well as flexural and compressive strength parameters of CSA-based composite after isothermal heating at temperatures from 23 °C to 800 °C. The results of SEM/EDS investigations showed that the calcium sulfoaluminate paste may start partially re-sintering above 600 °C. Mechanical tests revealed significant reduction of strength parameters but residual compressive strength was maintained in the whole temperature range e.g., 8 MPa at 800 °C. Additionally, visual assessment of the specimens indicated that it might be possible to predict the material temperature heating based on the specific surface color. These findings add to the evidence of general knowledge about CSA hydrates.
