Abstract

The incident of natural slope sliding which causes the body of the road buried often occur in some place in Indonesia on roads which are constructed under wet conditions and in mountains terrain, as it often occurs in West Sumatera. In addition, the sliding also occurs in the body of the road which is constructed over the embankment, for example sliding in Cipularang Toll road of West Java which recently often occurs. The occurring of slope sliding are caused by the design of fill and cutting of terrain or the making of the slope without taking into account some factors like: the properties of the foundation material for embankment; ground water and seepage; the properties of the fill material; and the embankment construction of. This paper would discuss these design components applied to the design construction of earthworks on sloping ground.
