ABSTRACT

New roads are built to alleviate congestion that occurs in an area. Tembalang is one of the most densely populated areas in Semarang city. The research location is Tembalang-Jangli New Road. The construction of Jangli-Undip New Road aims to reduce congested vehicle traffic in Gombel and Meteseh, which causes frequent congestion. Therefore, subsurface identification using the resistivity geoelectric method of dipole-dipole configuration was carried out to know the cause of landslides at the research location. Data acquisition was carried out with 10 passes. The results obtained 5 (five) layers of subsurface constituent rocks on Undip-Jangli New Road based on their resistivity values, namely topsoil (0.105 - 1.0 Ωm), clay (1.11 - 6.29 Ωm), sandstone (8.52 - 20.0 Ωm), tuff (20.0 - 75.0 Ωm), and volcanic breccia (75.0 - 133 Ωm). The interpretation results show the sliding plane at a 6.76 - 24.8 m depth. The layer that acts as a slide plane is a clay layer. The existence of sliding planes detected in the trajectories A-A’, B-B’, C-C‘, D-D’, E-E‘, F-F’, G-G‘, H-H’, I-I‘, and J-J’ has great potential to cause soil movement or landslides with the type of sliding is rotation.

Keywords: landslide, resistivity geoelectricity, dipole-dipole.
