International Journal of Civil & Environmental Engineering IJCEE-IJENS Vol:12 No:04 25 Characteristical Analysis of Unconfined Compressive Strength and CBR Laboratory on Dredging Sediment Stabilized With Portland Cement Hamzah Yusuf , Muh.Saleh Pallu , Lawalenna Samang and M.Wihardi Tjaronge Abstract-- The aim of the study was to determine the value of Unconfined compressive strength and CBR laboratory of BiliBili dam’s dredging sediment which was stabilized by portland cement type 1 so that it can be used in various purposes. The sediment volume of Bili-Bili Dam after the avalanche of Mount Bawakaraeng’s caldera on April 2004 was about 75 million m³ and growing all the time and disrupted the stability and function of the dam, the dredging plan would be done but it was constrained by the disposal site issue which can create new problems on the safety of environment. The sediment dredging was examined through research that conducted an unconfined characteristic compressive strength and CBR laboratory test, then stabilized with portland cement type 1 using existing standard codes (ASTM, AASHTO). The analysis result of BiliBili Dam’s dredging sediment through chemical characteristic test showed : the soil is classified as ilite mineral soil, clay minerals are dominated by silicon oxide (SiO2), detected metal content of sediments is dominated by Fe (Ferro). In the soil classification system, soil sediment characteristics, as a muddy clay-low organic with plastic index 17.76%, which is dominated by silt-loam 95% as well as unconfined compressive strength and CBR- laboratory showed that the addition of cement as well as the percentage of the length of time curing raises soil strength. This is useful for the development of the Bili-Bili Dam’s dredging sediment use program. The utilization of sediment material stabilized by portland cement can be used for various utilities, especially for road subbase.

INTRODUCTION Bili-Bili Dam’s sediment data indicates that fine sediment has reached + 75 million cubic meters which accumulated beneath reservoir subsurface and close to the intake channel, the condition indicates a potential drain will be clogged in the future, and obviously regarding the livelihoods of millions of citizens will be disturbed. (Hamdan, 2010). The high rate of sedimentation that occurs at this time should be anticipated by dredging sediment in the intake and the surrounding area. the volume of sediment which has planned to dredge is 100.000-200.000 mᶟ mannually started on 2011. The dredging material is planned to be placed on the rear left side of the area under the Bili-Bili dam spillway. The constraints faced by this program is the limited storage capacity of the area, while the the current location that used is only temporary because the area will be developed. (Samang, 2010) Based on the issue that the accumulation of sedimentary material, either around the Intake of Dam and reservoir later, will cause the undermining of Bili-Bili Dam and environmental impact. As an alternative solution, the existence of assessment in the form of a comprehensive research about the potency of dredging sediment material is required for instances the analysis of sediment characteristics on unconfined compressive strength and CBR- laboratory, as well as study of the chemical properties of minerals. The results of the study or research can be utilized for a variety of economic needs and sustainable development. This study aims to determine the soil quality improveness from the effect of cement -lime mixing with the dredging soil, land used in this case was the dredging soil of Bili-Bili Dam. The Improvement of physical properties of the soil from not good to be good in the term of civil engineering field known as soil stabilisation. Soil stabilization can be done by adding a certain additive material on the poor soil. Some of the mixed materials are widely used include lime, portland cement, asphalt, fly ash, and sand. II. MATERIALS AND METHODS A. Location of sediment sampling Soil sediment sampling was taken in radius 100-200 m from Bili-Bili Dam intake as representation of the desired dredging sediment area, the sediment bed is about ±30 m depth. The 120804-9595-IJCEE-IJENS © August 2012 IJENS IJENS International Journal of Civil & Environmental Engineering IJCEE-IJENS Vol:12 No:04 design of soil sediment samples amount is expected 200 kg for each site of sampling points, which was dicided 12 sampling points. The deep sampling location of soil sediment is infront of the dam intake-site as shown in Figure 1. Fig. 1. Location of Soil Sediment Sampling, Bili-Bili Dam Reservoir CONDITION OF SOIL SAMPLING AND LABORATORY The constraint during site-sampling was the difficulties to take deep sampling from sediment bed level of ± 30 m depth, it is required flat form. Visual conditions of flat form, made by floating bamboo raft, and during site-sampling are shown typically in was location of soil sediment is infront of the dam intake-site as shown in Figure 2 (Photo 1 and 2) to use portland cement type 1 and the testing was carried out soil mechanics laboratory A. Soil Characteristics Soil is defined as a material consisting of aggregate (granular) solid minerals cemented (chemically bound) to one another and came from decaying organic materials (solid particle) along with the liquid and gas that fills the empty spaces between the solid particles (Das, BM, 1993). The bond between these items can generally be separated only by a little mechanical disturbances, such as by stirring in water. (Gouw.2000). the soil term in the field of soil mechanics is intended to cover all the materials of clay (clay) to boulder (large boulders), including all of natural deposits related to civil engineering but permanent rocks. (Weley, L.D., 1977). If the result of decaying still in its original place, the soil is called as residual soil but if the soil has moved from its original place then it is transported soil. The process of soil formation will affect the characteristics of each soil. (Gouw.2000) B. Basic Characteristics Tests Before conducting the test with cement stabilization, the basic testing or preliminary testing will perform first such as property index and mechanical index analysis, preliminary testing standards used in this study refer to table 1.

Soil Stabilization Fig. 2. Site-Sampling Condition; Bamboo Raft (Photo-1) and Sample Taking (Photo-2) SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS OF RESEARCH The scope of this study was to determine the basic characteristics of the dredging soil sediment Bili-Bili Dam, and find unconfined compressive strenght and the CBR value, while for the stabilization of soil sediment dredging is limited Soil stabilization is including as an accurate way to improve the soil strength, the implementation is based on laboratory testing. Stabilization methods that widely used are mechanical and chemical stabilization (Justin et al, 2004). Mechanical stability (solidification) with various types of mechanical equipment, whereas the chemical stabilization is the mixing of soil with chemicals such as cement, lime, fly ash etc. (Bowles, 1991). Different types of soil stabilization materials, expected to be effective for dredging material of Bili-Bili Dam and can react either chemically or physically in improving the quality as soil stabilization material. 120804-9595-IJCEE-IJENS © August 2012 IJENS IJENS International Journal of Civil & Environmental Engineering IJCEE-IJENS Vol:12 No:04 The soil stabilizing agent as a cement, preliminary guideline in figure 3 as follows can be used : Fig. 3. Stabilization materials guideline (source: SE Minister of Public Works, 2010) Stabilizing material used in this study is portland cement type 1. The variation of portland cement addition are 5%, 10%, and 20% respect to dredging soil material. For analysis of unconfined compressive strength, the curing times used are 3, 7, 14, and 21 days. The results can be seen below. III. LABORATORY STUDY AND TESTING RESULTS D. Index properties of natural soil sediment Index propertie testing program were concerned with; specific gravity, water content, density, atterberg limit, and grain size analysis .The Laboratory testing performed prior is the basic testing for original soil such as soil properties of dredging soil by use of standard test (Table 1). Soil samples taken consisted of 12 samples (12 intake points). Testing was conducted for a few sample points and taken randomly (5 points). The results of laboratory testing can be seen in table 2 below: TABLE II DREDGING SOIL INDEX PROPERTIES Index Properties Unit Ranges of Value Specific Grafity(Gs) Water Content (w) Wet Density (ᵞwet) Dry Density (ᵞdry) Liquid Limit (LL) Plastic Limit (PL) Plasticity Index (PI) Shringkage Limit (SL) Sand Silt+Clay % t/m² t/m² % % % % % % 2.437-2.516 71.476-88.679 1.442-1.529 0.771-0.890 47.19-48.40 30,13-30.65 17.06-17.88 15.089-15.972 2.56-4.10 95.90-97.44 Based on Table 2, it can be seen that, gradation / grain size test results showed that Silt + clay dominated the type of samples is about 95.90 to 97.44% and about 2.56 to 4.10% for sand with water content about 71.476 to 88.679 %, while the specific gravity is 2.437 to 2.516 and the plasticity index is about 17.06 to 17.88. From these results, based on Figure 1, soil improvement should be considered by cement stabilization material. 27 ENGINEERING CHARACTERICS OF RECONSTITUTED SOIL SEDIMENT In order to justify the strength and compresibility characteristics of the soil sediment samples, a series of direct shear and consolidation tests was conducted to the 2 (two) weeks reconstituted samples. Test results, represent sediment characteristics; compression index Cc= 0.541 and swelling index Cs= 0.2, preconsilidation pressure pc= 0.45 kg/cm2, void ratio e= 1.945, consolidation coefficient at pc cv=(11.68 ~ 14.14) x 10-2 cm2/min or permeability coefficient kv= (9.35x10-5 ~ 1.13x104 ) cm/sec. Those compressibility characteistics could be justified as soft silty clay with drainage poor category. Test results of the reconstituted samples in the direct shear represent soil cohesion C = 0.08 kg/cm2 and internal angle friction = 18o27’. These soil parameters justify to be low strength or bearing capacity. MINERAL AND CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SOIL SEDIMENT The particles of fine-grained soils are composed predominantly of cristalline minerals. Soft soils such as clay and silty clay, have surface activity on their crystalline minerals such that they develop cohesion and plasticity so reffered to clay minerals. So far, about 15 minerals are classed as clay minerals and these belong to four main groups; kaolinite, montmorillonite, illite, and palygorskite. Chemically the clay minerals contain silicates of alluminium and / or iron and magnesium. Some of them also contain alkalines and / or alkaline earths, as essential components. Most of the clay minerals have sheet or layered structures, several them have elongate tubular or fibrous structures. Clay particles behave like colloids, it is a particle whose specific surface is so high that its behaviour is controlled by surface energy rater than mass energy. From view points of interparticle forces, these colloidal chararcteristics of clay particles are similarly charged (i.e., carrying as residual negative charge). In consideration the above mentioned characteristics; mineral, physical, and chemical contents of soil sediment was investigated and to be conducted by the appropriate collaboration tests with other laboratory. E. Characteristics of dredging soil sediment Mineral characteristics were obtained from the result test of mineral resources laboratory that the silicone oxide (SiO2) approximately 75.42 to 77.31% dominated dredging sediment soil, and Aluminum Oxide (Al2O3) with amount of 6.76 to 6.81% and the followed by Fe about 4.16 to 4.21% while the other minerals were in small amounts can be seen in table 3 below: 120804-9595-IJCEE-IJENS © August 2012 IJENS IJENS International Journal of Civil & Environmental Engineering IJCEE-IJENS Vol:12 No:04 TABLE III MINERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SOIL SEDIMENT WET SOIL – ANALYSIS Mineral Parameters to be Analized SiO2 Al2O3 Fe Total CaO MgO K2O Na2O H2O Unit Ranges of Value % % % % % % % % 75.42-77.31 6.76-6.81 4.16-4,21 1.12-1.21 0.56-0.97 0.87-0.98 1.06-10.7 6.20-7.21 F. Interpretation of sediment chemical characteristics 28 G. Characteristics of dredging soil stabilization by Portland cement The characteristics test of the dredging soil stabilized by cement based on SNI 03-6791-2002, which the method for unconfined compressive strength test refers to JIS A1108, SNI 03-1974-1990, 14-1989-F SKSNIM and CBR testing refers to the ASTM D 1833, AASHTO T-180 & T-183, in this case, brief results were obtained by use of percentages of mixing cement, 5%, 10%, and 20% of the weight of sediment sample. The curing time for unconfined compressive strength are 3 days, 7 days, 14 days, and 28 days. The shape of testing curves on unconfined compressive stress-strain.

The relationship between the compressive strength with Curingtime Fig. 6. The relationship between the compressive strength with Portland cement content The graph of unconfined compressive strength test (unconfined test) showed that dredging sediment soil stabilized with cement tends to increase in strength along with the addition of cement and curing time as shown in figure 4, 5, and 6 above. Stress-strain graph of dredging sediment soil stabilized with cement provides the strength increase in the range of 1.978 kg/cm2 (5% cement) and 10.31 kg/cm2 (20% cement) for 3 days of curing time while for 28 days of curing time, the strength is 5.155 kg/cm2 (5 % of cement) and 22.004 kg/cm2 (20% cement), tends to increase linearly with the addition of cement’s percentage. H. CBR test (California Bearing Ratio) Laboratory CBR testing carried out directly using a CBR test device. In general, the testing value of CBR laboratory will increase as the percentage addition of cement mixture and water content implied. CBR test results can be seen in the following chart: Fig. 7. Combination graph of CBR laboratory test From table 6 and figure 7, the results of insitu CBR test showed that based on previous data that dredging sediment soil is fine-grained soil in the form of silt-clay with high plasticity index , with the addition of cement content variation to soil emerged special reaction to form lumps made the sediment grains become large. With the addition of percentage, it can be seen that the CBR value has also increased 120804-9595-IJCEE-IJENS © August 2012 IJENS IJENS International Journal of Civil & Environmental Engineering IJCEE-IJENS Vol:12 No:04 TYPICAL UTILIZATION OF SOIL SEDIMENT AS CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL The limited capacities of stock yard for the dredged sediment of Bili-Bili Dam Reservoir were concerned by conducting a series investigation on mineralogy and physical-chemical characteristics of dredged sediment. Test results justified main characteristics of dredging sediment of Bili-Bili Dam Reservoir as soft silty-clay, predominantly of silt fraction. Degree of sediment expansiveness is categorized into medium to high with clay mineral illite. In considering several alternatives for utilizing sediment potency for various need economically (besides for congeries), such as brick industry, roof-tile, concrete brick, paving block, earthenware, plant media (paddy field), subgrade, etc., sediment characteristics could be advantaged by soil stabilization methods. It seems, the potency stabilized admixture is supported highly by the existence of the other raw materials (such as sand, clay, lime, chaff, rice field, etc.) around the stock yard. The condition is also relevant due to the existence of such industrial to be widespread quite a lot in Gowa District. IV. CONCLUSIONS Conditions of site-deep sampling of sediment and briefly representation of test resuts, including its typical utilization potential, could be summarized as follows; Soil sediment index properties represent basic characteristics, i.e.: (1) specific gravity of this soil sediment in the ranges of 2.437 to 2.516. Its interpretation justify soil mineral illite (Gs ranges, 1.6-2.84) and soil type silt with organic admixture (Gs ranges, 2.4-2.5); (2) Water content of soil sediment ranges from 71.476% to 88.674%, where as the wet density represents 1.442 gram/cm3 to 1.529 gram/cm3. These properties justify soil type very – slightly soft organic clay in accordance with typical soils in natural state (Terzaghi & Peak, 1967); (3) Variations of liquid limit L= 47.19-48.40 % and Platicity Index PI= 17.06 %.to 17.88 %, in the Cassagrande’s Chart justify soil classification of organic silty clay with low – slight plasticities; (4) The shrinkage parametrics of soil sediment represent; shrinkage limit SL=15.009 – 15.972%, shrinkage ratio / index SR=2.085 – 2.125, and linear shrinkage LS=6.262 – 6.412. It seems that soil deposits could be justified to has medium or marginal degree of expantion; 30 2.56-4.10%, where as silt fraction is about 95.93-96.47% and clay fraction is 0.97-1.31%. The curves represent silt particles to be bigger amount compare to that of sand and clay particles; (6) Unconfined compressive strength of sediment stabilizedcement was obtained from the stress-strain curves. The peak stress curves show the tendency to develop in the ranges kg/cm2 (5% cement) to 10.31 kg/cm2 (20% cement) for 3 days age and 5.155 kg/cm2 (5% cement) to 22.004 kg/cm2 (20% cement) for 28 days age, tend to increase linearly with the increased cement contents. It seems to be slightly increased with the increased cement contents. (7) In the laboratory CBR tests showed that the range of values for a fall of 0.1 inc. is 60.48% (5% cement) to 71,11% (20% cement) while the decrease in 0.2 inc. Is 51.13% (5% cement) to 82.22% (20% cement). Seen that an increase in the CBR along with the addition of the percentage of cement. Based on the description of the analysis of the characteristics of sediment dredging the river Jeneberang (Bili-Bili Dam), stabilized with cement showed that; land dredging can be developed and utilized as an alternative building materials such as block paving, brick walls, and subgrade layers because large volume changes in the dry state. The results of this study can also be used as a reference for development and research in the same area. V.
