Abstract

Several slope failures have occurred in the Cigembol River, Karawang, West Java. The problem
could be tackled by increasing the slope using appropriate slope countermeasures and analysis. For this study an
installation of mini piles was selected. The purpose of this study was to compare the safety factor of the slope before
and after installation of such mini piles using soil revetment. The analysis was carried out with the finite element
method. For the purpose of this analysis, the only loads considered were those of self-weight. The results show that
the safety factor of the existing slope is 1.068. After installation of the mini piles, the safety factor increases to about
1.295–1.982. For the piles revetment, the optimum dimension, depth, and spacing of piles was 25 × 25 cm, 10 m,
and 2 m respectively. The stability analysis of the some configuration of mini pile demonstrate that the installation
of the mini pile may cause increasing the safety factor, and show there was optimum configuration mini pile model.
