Pengaruh Gelombang Dan Kemiringan Pantai Terhadap Perubahan Morfologi Pantai Bergambut
ABSTRACT
Bengkalis Island is a peat island which is prone to beach abrasion. Abrasion happens
at the rate of 32,5 m/year, especially on the west of Bengkalis Island. The relatively
lightweight characteristic of peat materials makes it more susceptible to beach
abrasion and sedimentation. Since peatland beaches are very rare in the world, study
about peatland beaches abrasion was also rarely done. To understand this
phenomenon, this study has made a physical model in the laboratorium. Experiment
using this physical model was done in Hydrotechnical Laboratorium at Department of
Civil Engineering, Universitas Riau, through Multi Teaching Flame method, while the
sample material of peat soil from Bengkalis Island Beach was subjected into
preliminary property test. Experiment was done using 3 scenarios of wave height
generated by wave generator, and 3 variation of beach slope, which was 1:2.5, 1:5 and
1:7.5. Data taken on this study were elevation of peak and valley of the wave (H), wave
period (T) and sediment height (d) which was measured every 30 minutes for 300
minutes. Morphological changes of beach as a result of beach abrasion and
sedimentation are further evaluated in terms of wave height and beach slope. Through
this study, it can be concluded that wave length and rate affected by depth of the sea.
The smaller the slope of the beach, the more stable the beach, which make it more
susceptible from erosion.
