Determination of the Type of Soil Using 2D Geoelectric Method and Laboratory Analysis for Landslide Area Cililin West Java

Abstract

Landslide occurrence at Mukapayung, Cililin West Java with material movement downward slope as far as 500m and hit residential areas of the village Nagrog cause eighteen people died and ten homes were destroyed and twenty-three heads of families evacuated. 2D Geoelectric measurements and index properties of soil analysis has been conducted to determine the type of soil slope composing. From the results of resistivity measurements obtained that the material making up the slope dominated by a mix of clay and sand, in which the soil types are prone to landslides if triggered by the presence of water.
