Identification of Geotextile Productivity in Soil Improvement Projects using Webcyclone

Abstract

Peat soil is a type of soil having a low bearing capacity. If the ability to support the load is lower than the weight of the construction that must be borne, there will be a bearing capacity failure. Likewise, uneven compression (differential settlement) will cause structural cracking or tilted construction. Soil improvement is needed for land conditions that have low bearing capacity. The 15 MW Tanjung Selor PLTMG project is located in East Kalimantan Province with an area of 10816.51 m2 with peat soil conditions and high water level. Webcyclone is one of the web based recurring simulation programs used to analyze the productivity of a construction work. Based on the analysis of productivity by using webcyclone, the time required for soil improvement work using geotextile is 6.06 days.
