Abstract

This research is of significant importance as it discusses the modelling of a two-dimensional map of soil parameters in Bengkulu City, Bengkulu Province, Indonesia. The two-dimensional modelling was conducted to show the distribution of soil parameter values based on the research points strategically distributed throughout Bengkulu City. These research points were chosen to represent the diverse soil conditions in the city, making the modelled soil parameters particularly helpful for engineers and construction consultants when planning construction in the study area. The parameters to be discussed include shear wave velocity, cone resistance, and corrected standard penetration test. This modelling applies Inverse Distance Weighting as an interpolation method from 215 research points. Inverse Distance Weighting is used because it supports knowing the value of soil parameters around the review point, especially in two-dimensional modelling. The results showed that the distribution of the highest value of shear wave velocity of the clay layer is dominated in the Teluk Segara sub-district. The distribution of the highest value of cone resistance of the clay layer is dominant in the Kampung Melayu Sub-district. The distribution of the highest value of corrected standard penetration test of the clay layer is also dominated in Kampung Melayu Sub-district.
