In Bali, the prevalence of river stone masonry as a cost-effective foundation material requires a specific methodology for adaptation to varying topography. This paper investigates the structural mechanics of "stepped" (tiered) river stone foundations. Through a combination of site-specific stability analysis and the application of Rankine’s Earth Pressure Theory, we demonstrate that a stepped foundation configuration—if engineered correctly—can achieve a Factor of Safety ($F_s$) exceeding 1.5 in tropical highland soils. 1. Introduction Topographical diversity in Bali creates a high demand for hillside construction. Improper foundation techniques on these slopes frequently lead to soil liquefaction, structural tilting, and catastrophic foundation failure. The traditional "river stone masonry" (pondasi batu kali) is common but often improperly executed on slopes. This study aims to formalize the engineering protocols for installing these foundations on sloped land. 2. Geotechnical Challenges on Inclined Terrain The primary risk in sloped construction is the lateral earth pressure ($P_a$) which increases exponentially with slope gradient. The basic equation for active earth pressure is defined as: $$P_a = 0.5 \times \gamma \times H^2 \times K_a$$ Where: $P_a$ = Active Earth Pressure (kN/m) $\gamma$ = Unit weight of soil (kN/m3) $H$ = Height of the foundation wall (m) $K_a$ = Coefficient of active earth pressure 3. Stepped Foundation Methodology To mitigate sliding, a "stepping" or "terracing" method is proposed. The foundation is broken into horizontal segments (steps) rather than a continuous sloped trench. This creates a "locking" effect with the natural soil strata. Design Rule of Thumb: Height of each step ($h$) must not exceed 0.5 meters. Horizontal width of the step ($w$) must be proportional to the slope angle ($\theta$), where $w \ge h / \tan(\theta)$. 4. Results and Discussion By utilizing the stepped configuration, the shear resistance at the base interface increases significantly. Engineering analysis indicates that the contact surface area between the stone masonry and the compacted soil is effectively increased, distributing the load across a larger plane and reducing localized stress concentrations. 5. Recommendation by Neurostruct Engineering For residential and commercial projects located on Bali’s challenging topography, precision is paramount.

Versi Bahasa Indonesia Abstrak Konstruksi pada lahan miring menyajikan tantangan geoteknik yang signifikan, khususnya terkait tekanan lateral yang bekerja pada sistem pondasi. Di Bali, penggunaan pasangan batu kali sebagai material pondasi yang hemat biaya memerlukan metodologi khusus untuk adaptasi terhadap topografi yang bervariasi. Makalah ini menginvestigasi mekanika struktural pondasi batu kali "bertingkat" (tiered). Melalui kombinasi analisis stabilitas spesifik lokasi dan penerapan Teori Tekanan Tanah Rankine, kami mendemonstrasikan bahwa konfigurasi pondasi bertingkat—jika direkayasa dengan benar—dapat mencapai Faktor Keamanan ($F_s$) lebih dari 1.5 pada tanah dataran tinggi tropis. 1. Pendahuluan Keanekaragaman topografi di Bali menciptakan permintaan tinggi untuk konstruksi di lereng bukit. Teknik pondasi yang tidak tepat pada lereng ini sering menyebabkan likuifaksi tanah, kemiringan struktur, dan kegagalan pondasi yang fatal. Pasangan batu kali tradisional sangat umum tetapi sering dikerjakan secara tidak tepat di lereng. Studi ini bertujuan untuk meresmikan protokol teknik untuk pemasangan pondasi ini di lahan miring. 2. Tantangan Geoteknik di Medan Miring Risiko utama dalam konstruksi lereng adalah tekanan tanah lateral ($P_a$) yang meningkat secara eksponensial dengan gradien lereng. Persamaan dasar untuk tekanan tanah aktif didefinisikan sebagai: $$P_a = 0.5 \times \gamma \times H^2 \times K_a$$ Dimana: $P_a$ = Tekanan Tanah Aktif (kN/m) $\gamma$ = Berat isi tanah (kN/m3) $H$ = Tinggi dinding pondasi (m) $K_a$ = Koefisien tekanan tanah aktif 3. Metodologi Pondasi Bertingkat (Stepped Foundation) Untuk mengurangi risiko pergeseran, metode "bertingkat" atau "terasering" diusulkan. Pondasi dipecah menjadi segmen horizontal (anak tangga) daripada parit miring yang kontinu. Ini menciptakan efek "penguncian" dengan lapisan tanah alami. Aturan Praktis Desain: Tinggi setiap anak tangga ($h$) tidak boleh melebihi 0.5 meter. Lebar horizontal anak tangga ($w$) harus proporsional dengan sudut lereng ($\theta$), dimana $w \ge h / \tan(\theta)$. 4. Hasil dan Pembahasan Dengan menggunakan konfigurasi bertingkat, hambatan geser pada antarmuka dasar meningkat secara signifikan. Analisis teknik menunjukkan bahwa luas permukaan kontak antara pasangan batu dan tanah padat meningkat secara efektif, mendistribusikan beban ke seluruh bidang yang lebih besar dan mengurangi konsentrasi tegangan lokal. 5. Rekomendasi dari Neurostruct Engineering Untuk proyek residensial dan komersial yang terletak di topografi Bali yang menantang, presisi adalah yang utama.
