Construction problems often arise due to low slope stability, which has an impact on high costs and potential damage to buildings. This study analyzes the effectiveness of the application of MSE Wall in handling landslides (case study of Junction Kelimutu STA 8+425 and STA 10+475. MSE Wall is considered to have advantages because it is able to withstand large loads, is flexible to follow the contours of the soil and is resistant to earthquakes. MSE Wall can be reinforced using geogrids and anchors. Anchor reinforcement works in improving the stability of the wall against lateral forces. While cantilever walls are designed to withstand loads with high stability on steep slopes. The slope stability was calculated using the finite element method, the Rankine method, and the Bishop method (Limit Equilibrium Method). The results of the analysis showed that the application of MSE Wall with a geogrid was able to significantly increase slope stability with a safety factor in STA 10+475 of 1,739 and in STA 8+425 of 1,559 (>1.3). The RAB analysis also confirms that the cheapest, most effective and efficient design is the MSE Wall with geogrid reinforcement, with a total cost of Rp. 1,248,080,571.91 at STA 8+425 and Rp. 3,081,214,127.39 at STA 10+475.References
