The goal of this study was to see how applying bamboo stem ash and banana stem fiber affected the soil's bearing capacity. The research method used in this study was an experimental method carried out in the lab by varying the added materials used over a long period of time, namely variations in the mixture of bamboo stem ash as much as 5% and 10%, and variations in the mixture of banana stem fiber as much as 0.5 percent and 1%. Curing for 1 and 7 days to ascertain the value of CBR, which was used to calculate the soil's bearing capacity. The results revealed that adding bamboo stem ash and banana stem fiber to the soil increased the soil carrying capacity (DDT). Both the CBR and the DDT values increased. The increase (DDT) with the addition of bamboo stem ash and banana stem fiber as soil stabilizing agents, namely in the original soil the DDT value was 5.7 after adding 0 percent banana stem fiber and 5 percent bamboo stem ash the DDT value became 5.9 (increased by 3, 38 percent), in the mixed variation of 0 percent banana stem fiber and 10 percent bamboo stem ash the DDT value became 6.2 (an increase of 8.06 percent), after adding 0.5 percent banana stem fiber and 10 percent bamboo (an increase of 12.04 percent).

The need for parking space would grow in tandem with the number of students, employees, and lecturers, particularly at the Indonesian Christian University Toraja's Campus II, but owing to poor parking management, vehicles parked in the approved parking area may have problems. Students who use irregular parking areas, which occurs because the parking lot or unit that has not been created only provides a parking area, the second problem is parking alley lanes that are not per the needs, the alley is still very narrow and does not have this free space, which causes problems for vehicles going in and out of the campus II of the Indonesian Christian University Toraja. The parking characteristics method was used to examine this data; nevertheless, the parking characteristics method is still broken down into various sections, including parking accumulation, parking volume, parking index, number of parking users, and parking availability. Parking accumulation to determine the maximum accumulation during the research period, parking volume to determine the volume of parking capacity to determine whether the parking area can still accommodate vehicles or not, and parking index to determine the percentage of comparison between total vehicles at a given time interval and the volume of available parking spaces. The availability of parking is determined by the number of parking cells available in one area or parking lot each hour, whereas the level of parking usage is determined by the number of parking users that occur in one parking plot per hour. The analysis found that the parking area and basement on campus II of the Indonesian Christian University Toraja have 1151 parking space units (SRP) for two-wheelers and 28 SRP for fourwheelers, with a maximum number of parking vehicles for two-wheeled vehicles of 893 units with a parking index of 77, 59 percent and maximum parking of 21 units for four-wheeled vehicles with a parking index of 75 percent, indicating that the parking area and basement are adequate. Vehicles are accommodated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
