Geotechnical Engineering at Universiti Malaysia Sarawak At a Glance

UNIMAS is the premier higher

educational institution in Sarawak.

The Faculty of Engineering offers

bachelor of engineering, masters,

and PhD programs in Civil Engi-

neering. The Geotechnical Engi-

neering Research Group is en-

gaged in research and education in

geotechnical engineering. The

group members have diverse re-

search interests and experiences.

They have ongoing funded re-

search projects and collaboration

with JKR Sarawak and CMS Pave-

ment Tech Sdn Bhd. The out-

comes of the group’s activities are

relevant to the many geotechnical

challenges faced by engineers in

Malaysia and Sarawak. The group

organized a workshop on Soft

Soils Engineering in 2010 and on

Geoenvironmental Engineering for

Sustainable Development in 2012.

The group also conducted two

training programs on Soil Investi-

gation and Laboratory Testing of

Soils for Jabatan Mineral dan Ge-

osains in 2012 and for JKR Sara-

wak in 2013. The group members

were also actively involved in the

organization of Soft Soil Engineer-

ing International Conference 2013,

Kuching.

soil. The ions in the pore water,

Lecture 2: Electrokinetic stabilization of soft soils and peat

Lecture 1: Chemical stabilization of soft soils and peat

tion. In one of the laboratory

studies, ordinary Portland cement

was used. Fibrous peat samples

were mixed with cement contents

of 10-50% and cured for 7-90

days. Triaxial compression tests

(UCS, UU and CIU) were carried

out on the stabilized samples. As

the cement content and curing

period increased, the stiffness and

strength of the samples increased

in the UCS and UU tests but to a

limited extent in the CIU tests.

This lecture will highlight the con-

tribution of different chemicals in

improving the shear strength of

local problematic soils. We will

discuss the changes in the physical,

chemical, and geotechnical proper-

ties of soft soils and peat due to

stabilizers such as cement, lime, fly

ash and the locally available bio-

waste.

Soil stabilization is the permanent

alteration of properties of soil to

increase its shear strength and

bearing capacity, and decrease its

volume change potential. In UNI-

MAS, stabilizers such as ordinary

Portland cement, quick lime, and

fly ash have been experimented

with local problematic soils. Fun-

damentally, it is the chemical reac-

tion within the stabilized matrix

which is the core of the stabiliza-

“We have more than 2

million hectares of soft soil

in Sarawak ... therefore,

we ought to concentrate

on some of the problems

of soft soil engineering.”

Construction of wharves and jet-

ties are often needed for the

sparsely populated and widely

scattered communities along the

banks of rivers and estuaries in

Sarawak. However, soft sedimen-

tary soils have constantly endan-

gered the stability of these struc-

tures, which are usually supported

on pile foundations. The axial

compressive load is normally con-

sidered in design and the evalua-

tion of their lateral stability, which

is made more complex by the 4 to

6 meters of tidal fluctuation every

day, is neglected. As a result, there

have been many incidents of fail-

ures of jetties and wharves. The

aim of our research is to investi-

gate this complex jetty-pile foun-

dation-soft soil interaction behav-

ior and formulate procedures for

the design of wharves and jetties

in a more stable manner. The

steps involved in the research are:

1. Identification of the causes for

the instability of these struc-

tures

2. Formulation of a finite element

model for the jetty-pile founda-

tion-soft soil system and analy-

sis by PLAXIS software

3. Validation and refinement of the

model with secondary and pri-

mary data collected from a jetty

instrumented with inclinome-

ters and piezometers.

The collaborative research project

between UNIMAS and JKR, Sara-

wak, is already underway. The

jetty-pile foundation-soft soil sys-

tem model and the analytical pro-

cedure formulated will provide a

sound basis and necessary tools

for the design of stable estuarine

lateral loads were applied by using

hydraulic jack and dynamic loads

were applied using an eccentric

mass shaker. Free vibration and

snap-back tests were also per-

formed by using instrumented

sledgehammer and snap shackle as

the quick-release mechanism. The

primary purpose of the pile testing

was to measure the inertial re-

sponse of piles in residual soils and

to investigate how the soil stiff-

ness decreased with increasing pile

head excitation. Seismic cone

penetration tests, low level re-

sponse of the pile generated by

hammer blows and excitation

from an eccentric mass shaker

were also performed. Elastic con-

tinuum model (ECM) was used to

analyze the pile response. Details

of the pile loading tests, other

dynamic tests and the analysis of

data using ECM will be explained.

Understanding the behavior of

piles under lateral loading due to

earthquake, wind, and wave ac-

tions is important as the dynamic

effects are significant in these cas-

es. In earthquake loading, the pri-

mary excitation comes from the

ground below the pile. Four hol-

low steel pipe piles of 273 mm

outside diameter and wall thick-

ness 9.3 mm were installed at a

site in Pinehill, Auckland. Static

In this regard, the magnitude of

the influence of parameters on the

stability of embankments on soft

fers from effects of unequal pore

sotropy, thus resulting in some

uncertainty in adopting a suitable

bearing factor to derive the soil

provide direct and continuous

strength measurements, combin-

ing the advantages of the FVT and

CPT. A brief review of the T-bar

and ball penetrometers, and the

novel vertically oriented pene-

trometer (VOP) will be presented

in this lecture. The potential of

the VOP in providing a more ac-

curate undisturbed strength will

Field vane test (FVT) and cone

most common in-situ site investiga-

offshore investigations. Although

FVT can provide direct shear

strength measurements can be

obtained only at discrete depths.

Also, performing vane tests are

often time consuming. The CPT,

there is no glory attached to the

treated as stepchildren and their

acts of revenge for lack of

embarrassing."

Workshop on Geoenviron-mental Engineering, 2012

The Faculty of Engineering UNI-

MAS offers a Bachelor of Engi-

neering (Hons) degree programme

in Civil Engineering since 1994.

The programme is accredited by

the Engineering Accreditation

Council (EAC). Therefore, the

courses are designed according to

Outcome-Based education system

which emphasizes on the student-

centered learning philosophy. The

curriculum has been designed by

stressing on the exit learning out-

comes whereby the learning out-

comes enhance the cognitive and

soft skills in order to achieve the

aim of the courses. As the OBE

system significantly prioritizes the

student-oriented learning, the

delivery of the courses also varies.

Geotechnical engineering is a

branch of civil engineering that

generally deals with problems

associated with soil and rock.

The geotechnical experts in the

faculty are constantly striving to

enhance the learning experience

of the students by providing them

with a broad range of activities

covering the theoretical, experi-

mental, analytical, and applied

aspects of geotechnical engineer-

ing. The geotechnical core courses

offered are: Engineering geology,

Soil mechanics, Geotechnical engi-

neering, and Foundation engineer-

ing.

We also offer two elective cours-

es to the final year students, which

are: Geo-environmental engineer-

ing, and Soil dynamics.

This lecture will highlight the ge-

otechnical engineering education

in the bachelor degree programme

and the facilities available in the
