Uji Model Fisik Stabilitas Bangunan Sekat Kanal Bentang 5 Meter dengan Material Konstruksi Terbuat dari Kayu

Abstract

Forest and land fires are one of the most concerning incidents. One effort to overcome this problem is to reblock
the
existing
canals
using
a
block/dam
system.
It
is
hoped
that
the
water
level
in
the
canals
on
peatlands

can
be
increased
so
as
to
reduce
the
risk
of
fires
during
the
dry
season.
However,
the
information
available

regarding

canal blocking is still very limited. This study aims to determine the stability of canal blocking
structures against shear, stability of overthrowning force and seepage by conducting physical model tests.
This research method uses the observation method. The research location was carried out in the city of
Palangka Raya, starting from March 19 2022 to May 24 2022. This research was carried out by directly
observing the changes that occurred in the physical model of canal blocking. The results showed that the
stability against sliding and stability of overthrowning force was stated to be safe. Seepage continues to
occur in the downstream part of the canal blocking, whose value increases with the increase in the water
level in the upstream section as time increases.
