ABSTRACT

The city growth and development with all the dynamics are currently going on quite rapidly demand, the provision of facilities and city infrastructure is getting better and more adequate. Urban infrastructure development, especially those related to waste management, is an urgent need in the context of efforts to prevent environmental pollutions. Several factors need to be considered to building infrastructure, one of which is the security factor. The safety factor is a major factor in the construction of the retaining wall. The purpose of this study is to investigate mechanical effects of soil retaining wall in the three types of designs of the landfills by 2D finite element analysis. The results could provide a reference for building to withstand the active lateral compressive forces of soil and water. The contribution of this study is sufficient for providing a functional strength of retaining walls. FEM (Finite Element Method) is a numerical method that is often used in analysing the compressive strength of retaining wall. In this study, 2D analysis is used to determine the compressive strength of the soil on the retaining wall of the landfill in Manokwari City. The retaining wall in this study is varied based on these three forms of the retaining wall. It is according to the literature and the three different finite element numbers based on the software. Ansys software is used to simulate the compressive strength of retaining walls against the ground. The results found were compared. The results obtained indicated that the geometry design 2 has a better safety value when compared to the others. This is reinforced by the results of the numerical calculations obtained, namely A2 = 29497.3 N/mm², B2 = 42579.2 N/mm², and C2 = 82138.8 N/mm².
