CALCULATION OF MAXIMUM LOAD

LAYDOWN AREA, LONTAR POWERPLANT

Data for Calculation

Embankment Geometry
Embankment height is 1.5 m. At the base, various geotextile is applied to reach safety factor of 1.50.
Several geotextile is considered :
1. Non woven geotextile Polyfelt TS 70 (ultimate tensile strength 24 kN/m)
2. Non woven geotextile Polyfelt TS 80 (ultimate tensile strength 28 kN/m)
3. Woven geotextile Mirafi PET 100 (ultimate tensile strength 100 kN/m)

Load Data
2
Maximum design load is 4 ton/m

Soil Data
Soil data is based on test result on BVB 120, BVS 236, and BVS 237. For embankment, it is assumed have
properties after compacted as follow : = 17 kN/m3, c = 20 kPa, and = 20o

The soil properties for design input :

Layer Depth (m) (kN/m3) c (kPa) (o)
Embankment - 17 20 20
Layer 1 Clay 0 - 2.5 16 40 0
Layer 2 Clay 2.5 - 7.5 14 10 0
Layer 3 Clay 7.5 - 10 15 30 0

Stability Analysis

The analysis to determine maximum load that can be applied is calculated by Plaxis program. The load input
is done by changing the reinforcement material to reach safety factor of 1.50. The output of Plaxis program
are :

From the calculation above, to reach safety factor of 1.5, the embankment must be reinforced by woven
geotextile Mirafi PET 100. The configuration of geotextile laying is :
