Abstract

Frequent landslide disasters along the Kebun Kopi road in Central Sulawesi have significantly 
disrupted public mobility and goods distribution, with 12 recorded incidents throughout 2024. This 
condition is triggered by slope instability prone to deformation, particularly along the Tawaeli
Toboli road section, where previous research indicated slope movement could exceed 0.5 meters 
under saturated conditions and heavy traffic loads. Addressing this issue, this study was conducted 
to analyze soil characteristics at the Tawaeli-Toboli Road KM 26+57 segment through laboratory 
testing of 8 samples and geophysical investigation. Laboratory test results identified the majority of 
materials as Poorly Graded Sand with Silt (SP-SM) with low density (dry unit weight 0.33-1.60 
g/cm³) and minimal cohesion (0.074-0.141 kg/cm²), while geoelectrical survey revealed a subsurface 
profile dominated by sand-silt mixture with resistivity values of 42.9-288 Ωm indicating 
groundwater presence. The combination of fine-grained material properties, loose density, low 
cohesion, and saturated conditions creates a critical slope failure mechanism, where saturated silt 
layers act as potential slip surfaces, thus requiring specific mitigation measures to prevent 
landslides at the study location.
