Pressuremeter Test in Municipal Solid Waste for Coastal Reclamation Project
In term of land development for metropolis city in a coastal area, reclamation becomes one of the solutions. In practical approaches to the study of territories on which there are dumps and landfills are considered to justify the design solutions for reclamation. Most of dump landfill consists of various kind of rubbish even soil itself which combined during transportation and landfill purposes. Geotechnical design for waste disposal material becomes a challenge to determine soil characteristic and physical parameter where soil sampling is quite unrealistic. Despite difficulties in sampling and testing of the waste disposal, laboratory test is unlikely to be conducted. For design, in situ testing by using pressuremeter test (PMT) is chosen which offer and more reliable method to be adopted on-site for determining shear strength, soil stiffness, and compressibility of waste disposal soil. PMT result shows maximum horizontal pressure during testing that reaches 5.75 bar at varying depth. The characteristic of waste disposal quite similar to very soft clay material, however waste disposal material has extra vertical strength due to soil and dump material interaction. The study concluded that PMT is the best tool to evaluate waste disposal characteristics range of moduli will be in the order of 16.92 – 32.56 bar.
