Abstrak
Tanah terserak merupakan tanah bermasalah lantaran sifat semula jadinya yang mudah bertindak balas apabila terdapat kehadiran air lalu meningkatkan potensi hakisan cerun. Kewujudan ion natrium pada mineral lempung tanah melemahkan ikatan elektrokimia tanah terserak menyebabkan zarah lempung menolak dan menjauhi satu sama lain. Faktor ini mendorong pengasingan zarah tanah lalu membentuk fitur hakisan seperti ril dan galur rencam di permukaan bercerun, hakisan paip di dalam sub-permukaan landai dan kewujudan keruping merekah yang menjadi permasalahan dalam pembinaan struktur bangunan serta kejadian bencana alam. Kewujudan mineral lempung berbeza kapasiti pengembangan-pengecutan di kawasan tanah terserak menghasilkan morfologi dan sifat serakan tanah yang berbeza. Oleh itu, objektif kajian ini dijalankan adalah untuk mencirikan sifat fizikal tanah terserak tropika berdasarkan limpahan mineral lempung kaolinit dan montmorilonit serta hubungannya terhadap pembentukan morfologi hakisan cerun dan keruping tanah melalui pemerhatian lapangan dan analisis makmal. Hasil kajian mendapati kadar serakan dipengaruhi oleh sifat fizikal tanah seperti taburan saiz butiran, had cecair (LL), indeks keplastikan (PI), kandungan mineralogi lempung, nisbah % pasir/% zarah halus serta nisbah PI/LL. Analisis makmal menunjukkan tanah terserak dengan kehadiran mineral kaolinit dilihat kurang sensitif terhadap serakan berbanding mineral montmorilonit. Pemerhatian di lapangan mendapati tanah lempung kaolinit berasosiasi dengan pembentukan fitur hakisan ril dan galur rencam di sisi cerun secara lateral
dan separa lateral, manakala tanah lempung montmorilonit tidak membentuk fitur hakisan yang nyata namun cenderung membentuk lapisan keruping dengan sistem jaringan rekahan heksagonal pada cerun bersudut hampir tegak (≈80°). Pencirian ini penting bagi meramal kewujudan dan taburan tanah terserak tropika berdasarkan limpahan mineral lempung yang berupaya menjadi pencetus kepada mekanisme geo-bencana yang sinonim berlaku di Malaysia.

Abstract
Dispersive
soils are problematic soil due to its natural tendency to react quickly in the presence
of water and increasing the risk of slope erosion. The presence of sodium ions on soil clay particles weakens the
electrochemical bonds of the dispersed soil causing the clay particles to repel
and migrate away from each other. This factor causes soil particles segregation
and the formation of erosion features such as complex rills and gullies on a
sloping surface, pipes in the soil's subsurface and the presence of cracks
which cause problems in the construction of building structures and natural
disasters. The presence of clay minerals with varying swelling-shrinkage
capacities in the dispersed soil area results in a variety of soil morphology
and properties. As a result, the objective of this study was to characterize
the physical properties of tropical dispersive soil based on the abundance of
kaolinite and montmorillonite clay minerals as well as their correlation to the
formation of slope erosion morphology and soil crusting through field
observations and laboratory analysis. The study discovered that physical soil
properties such as particle size, liquid limit (LL), plasticity index (PI),
clay mineralogy content, % sand/% fine
soils ratio and PI/LL ratio influence dispersion rate. Laboratory analysis
shows that dispersed soil containing kaolinite minerals is less sensitive to
dispersion than soil containing montmorillonite minerals. Field observations
showed that kaolinite clay soils form complex rills and gullies erosion
features on the lateral and semi-lateral slopes, whereas montmorillonite clay
soils do not form significant erosion characteristics but do form crust layers
with hexagonal cracking network systems on almost perpendicular angled slopes
(≈80°). This characterization is crucial for predicting the presence and
distribution of tropical dispersive soils based on the abundance of clay minerals
that can trigger geo-hazards mechanisms which are synonymous in Malaysia.
