Water content, soil bearing capacity, settlement, Wai Lapu bridge

The 25 m-long Wai Lapu Halong Bridge connecting Galala and Passo villages in Ambon City experienced a landslide. The landslide was caused by heavy rain that flushed Ambon city. In addition to the landslide, the retaining wall was also broken and collapsed, due to the heavy water flowing at the bridge. Due to climate change and unfavorable soil structure at this location, the soil was saturated and shifted. The purpose of this study is to determine the amount of bearing capacity and soil settlement that occurs. To determine the bearing capacity of the soil and the decline that occurred, testing the physical properties and mechanical properties of the soil using the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) method was carried out. The type of soil used is disturbed or undisturbed soil on the Wai Lapu Halong bridge in Ambon City. From the test results conducted this soil has a consolidation value of 0.0041 cm. The results of the CBR test without soaking it is known that the greater the moisture content, the smaller the bearing capacity moisture content, and the greater the bearing capacity of the soil.
