The development of a country is affected by various multifaceted factors, which are likely to generate the highest benefits. For example, developing water resources by constructing embankments to store water and for transportation must consider high resilience, particularly with the current challenges arising from climate change. Another factor that must be considered is the shortage of essential materials for embankment cores, such as clay, which is the primary material for constructing such cores. This study aims to analyze the stability of soil embankments between the change of materials, namely clay and asphaltic concrete, by varying the water level and increasing the embankment load. The result shows that the asphaltic concrete core exhibits a significantly higher stability than the clay core, such as its reduced water seepage and lower deformation. In the worst-case scenario, the asphalt concrete core has a thickness of 0.3 m and a seepage rate of 15.1 × 10−4 m3/day. Comparatively, the seepage rate of the clay core is approximately 10-times lower.
