Abstract:
in case of the construction of road in soft soil, it is necessary to
consider the use of materials around the road construction site, and not to
use selected material which is imported from outside the road construction
site. Thus, aim to overcome the difficulties of using selected materials,
namely the difficulty to obtain the materials, the price of expensive
materials , the freight of material that could takes a long time period, high
cost, and the use of materials that tend to be environmentally unfriendly. It
is very necessary to learn about the use of nonstandard additive materials,
taken to the road construction site, but with the use of geotextile
reinforcement. The research method used is a full scale method in the form
of trial embankment, so that the performance of the road can be observed
for a long period of time due to the traffic and soil settlement. The results
obtained is settlement that occur on the road from the combination of
ordinary embankment material and local material, most frequently occured
in a larger percentage of ordinary embankment than the local material.
While the visual value is relevant to the settlement in which a larger
percentage of ordinary embankment results in a better visual value, due to
the quality of the ordinary embankment material is better than the local
material.
