Abstract

Calcareous soil physical properties remain in a flocculated condition (granulated). This soil is permeable to water and air due to a large number of pore spaces. The flocculation in heavy (clay) calcareous soil usually increases pore spaces and consequently drainage, but in light (sandy) calcareous soil, it decreases the water-holding capacity. Therefore, particle crushability and compressibility may also be increased. This calcareous soil type is found at the man-made island that is developed as a reclamation area in Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. A comprehensive geotechnical study of this specific calcareous sand is performed by comparing the cone resistance data from CPT (qc) with N-value from SPT. Moreover, the performance of the coastal reclamation is also analyzed by using the actual monitoring data of settlement plate. This study is intended to study the performance of reclaimed land based on the actual monitoring data and to make an efficient correlation for designs.
