Optimizing Bored Pile Reinforcement for Slope Stability: A Comparative Analysis of Soil Strength Conditions
摘要
Slope stability analysis traditionally relies on peak soil strength parameters, which proves inappropriate and unsafe for long-term design in strain-softening soils. This study performs a comparative slope stability analysis for the Kalialang Lama slope in Semarang under peak, fully softened, and residual conditions using PLAXIS LE confirming that residual conditions govern long-term stability and necessitate reinforcement, with bored piles identified as the preferred measure. This research bridges a critical gap by benchmarking traditional Broms and Elastic Solution methods against the advanced FHWA p-y approach for laterally loaded piles in high-plasticity residual soils. The Broms method proved overly conservative for bending moment, while the Elastic Solution significantly over-predicted lateral deflection. The FHWA p-y analysis provided a balanced benchmark in terms of moment and deflection. Furthermore, a novel multi-variable optimization framework is introduced. This framework is distinguished by a two-stage process that first screens pile locations for compliance with FHWA spatial guidelines, then applies a structural efficiency ratio (
