Abstract

The development of transportation in Indonesia causes the need for land for road use to increase. This encourages people to make the best use of every available land, one of which is in hilly and lowland areas and the topography tends to vary. The development of embankment slopes above the soil with less bearing capacity results in large subsidence and lateral movement. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of using Geotextile type TS 600 as reinforcement in soils that have low bearing capacity. From the results of laboratory tests, it is known that Geotextile Type TS 600 can reduce deformation that occurs in soft soil. The deformation that occurs in unreinforced soil with a load of 4 kN is -45.5 mm; while the deformation that occurs in the reinforced soil using geotextile type TS 600 layer 1 is -40.31 mm, layer 2 is -35.15 mm, and layer 3 is -30.25 mm. It is known that Geotextile Type TS 600 can reduce the deformation that occurs in soft soil.

Highlights

Summary

Introduction

The increasing progress of transportation in Indonesia has resulted in an increase in the need for land for road use. Artificial slopes with large loads and steep slopes can cause landslides. This condition is very dangerous for the driver, so a slope reinforcement is needed. The use of geotextile and soil reinforcement is one of the technological innovations that has been widely used in recent years The use of this geotextile can help in various planning, one of which is the reinforcement test of the slope using a non woven geotextile type TS 600. With this problem, the author takes the title "Slope Reinforcement Modeling Study Using Geotextile"
