Abstract
A slope with soil from soft to medium consistency is at risk of slope failure. This situation occurred in a residential area located Southwest of Jakarta. Due to heavy rainfall, a slope next to an existing road which runs alongside a river experienced slope failure. Three alternatives were considered to prevent occurrence of slope failures. The methods considered were mechanically stabilized earth retaining wall, and sheet pile with two possible positions, i.e., crest of slope or mid-slope. In this paper, the three alternatives are presented. Due to a second slope failure which occurred, sheet pile installed at the crest of the slope was chosen as it provides the quickest installation time to stabilize the slope.
