Abstract
Slope stability problems is important as the failure of the slopes would not only lead
to the destruction of the site, but also endanger lives. Many landslides incident in the
world is caused by human activities. In current practice, there are two types of slope
construction, which is through embankment and excavation. Although both methods
are widely used in the construction field, there is a lack of information on the
differences of soil behaviour due to both methods. This study focusses on the the
behaviour of slope due to different slope construction methods, which is
embankment slope and excavated slope. The differenes in soil displacement, stresses
and FOS of slope is studied by the application of Finite Element Method (FEM) with
PLAXIS 2D software. The differences of soil behaviour for both construction
methods are then compared in this study. This study can help engineers to understand
the differences better and further help in design and decision making.
