Abstract. Retaining wall type contiguous pile is a structure that serves to hold and stabilize the
soil in certain soil conditions. Retaining walls can be deformed by various factors. This research
on retaining walls compares the deformation results between the actual data, the finite element
method with the Mohr – Coulomb, Soft Soil and Hardening Soil parameters, and find the safety
factor based on SNI Geotechnical 8460:2017. The result of this research is that the deformation
value of Mohr – Coulomb modelling is closer than the actual value in the field, followed by the
modelling of Soft Soil & Hardening Soil, Soft Soil & Mohr-Coulomb, and Hardening Soil. This
difference occurs because there are differences in the correlation approach and the type of
undrained type used. It was found that the Mohr – Coulomb parameter is better than the other
parameters with a deformation result of 24.5 mm with a safety factor of 1.675 which is close to
the actual data.
1. Introduction
Retaining wall is a construction that functions to hold loose or natural soil, prevent soil collapse and
withstand certain disturbances such as earthquakes, vibrations, water and others. Retained soil will
provide an active push on the wall so that the structure tends to deform. Retaining walls can be said to
be safe from these disturbances, if the retaining walls have been calculated and meet the safety factor.
This type of retaining wall contiguous pile is a retaining wall construction used to withstand lateral
pressure of active soil and groundwater in the basement construction work of a building. The contiguous
pile used has a height of 17 m with a width of 0.8 m for the secondary pile type, while for the primary
pile type it has a height of 17 m with a diameter of 0.6 m [1].
On retaining wall design, one important aspect is the calculation of deformation, because the
deformation of the retaining wall greatly affects the strength of the retaining wall itself. This study
focuses on knowing the strength of the retaining wall during construction by evaluating and analyzing
the calculation of soil deformation against the wall. Excavation protection analysis in this study was
carried out using the finite element method. In doing modelling with the finite element method, it is
intended to implement the field implementation phase into the working phase of the modelling program
and it is hoped that the implementation in the field is as close as possible to the program. An inclinometer
is a construction tool that serves to analyze the lateral movement of the soil or retaining walls [2].

This research will be studied further with several descriptions put forward, namely Analyzing the
value of deformation and safety factor using the finite element method and comparing the results of
calculating the deformation value with the finite element method with the results of the inclinometer
test. The main purpose of this study is to determine the value of deformation and safety factor on the
contiguous pile using the finite element method and to find out the results of the comparison of the
calculation of the deformation value using the finite element method with the results of the inclinometer
test.

2.5. Inclinometer
Based on SNI 3404:2008 [4] Inclinometer is a construction tool that serves to analyze the lateral
movement of soil or retaining walls. For example, on land that has a great potential for landslides or on
soil located on the walls of tunnels, dams, and others. Globally, an inclinometer or slope gauge is a tool
used to measure lateral deformation. Therefore, this tool is also often used in measuring speed and
measuring the magnitude of movement on the ground. After the measurement is complete, the
measurement results can be used as location information or critical points due to ground movement that
will be displayed on the monitor screen.
3. Research methodology
In this study, there are stages to be carried out, the first stage is to identify the problems that occur,
namely analyzing the shape of the modelling deformation with the parameters Mohr – Coulomb, Soft
Soil & Hardening Soil, Soft Soil & Mohr-Coulomb, Hardening Soil. The results of these calculations
will be compared with the actual data. Because in general calculations using the Finite Element method
have different results from the actual results, therefore the modelling is varied with the Mohr – Coulomb,
Soft Soil & Hardening Soil, Soft Soil & Mohr-Coulomb, Hardening Soil parameters.
Then do a literature study or literature review. Literature studies were obtained from previous
research journals related to the research to be discussed. The next stage is data processing, the data in
question is from the N-SPT data. From these data, we can find out the deformation value and safety
factor, the method that will be used is the finite element method, from this method we can also find out
the deformation value and the contiguous pile safety factor. Furthermore, using manual calculations,
from this method can also get the value of the deformation and safety factor of the contiguous pile.
In this study only focused on finding the value of the deformation and safety factor of the contiguous
pile by comparing the finite element method, manual calculations and the actual results of the
inclinometer test. In the two calculations above, we will certainly get the results of the deformation
values and safety factors that are different from the actual results, from here it can be seen which
calculations are close to the actual results in the field, namely the inclinometer test. The results of the
analysis obtained will draw conclusions and also suggestions that can be given for further research.

The results of the analysis to be carried out were obtained from the N-SPT value and the inclinometer
test. From the results of the analysis get the value of the deformation and risk safety factor in each
calculation, then can show manual calculations to determine the safety factor or the value of the
inclinometer test. In designing retaining walls, geotechnical investigation data from the soil is very
necessary. From these data we can estimate the soil parameters needed to analyze a retaining wall. In
this case, the correlation of soil parameters with the N-SPT test at the test location is used.
To determine the value of deformation and tensile capacity of the foundation, finite element
modelling is used, namely direct foundation modelling without going through the construction process.
The pile parameter is listed in Table 2.

After modelling the retaining wall and the load is applied, the Mesh Generate process is carried out
to divide the elements in the so calculation can be carried out. This process is shown in Figure 2 and the
analysis is illustrated in Figure 3.
Based on actual data from the IC-01 inclinometer test (January 17, 2022) on the B Axis, it shows that
the deformation that occurs is 13.63 mm. This can be seen on the outermost green line which indicates
the result on the final reading of the inclinometer test. The result of the deformation value when
modelling with the Finite Element method is 0.00245 or 24.5mm. This is slightly different from the
results of the inclinometer test because the soil conditions in the field and the finite element method
modelling will be slightly different because they go through the correlation process. The comparison of
both tests is listed in Table 4.

5. Conclusions
From the results of the above analysis using the finite element method accompanied by 4 types of
modelling, it can be concluded that:
a. In Mohr Coulomb modelling using the finite element method, the deformation value is 24.5 mm
with a safety factor of 1.675. However, these results are different from the actual results where
the deformation value is 13.65 mm. This can occur by several factors ranging from the
correlation approach, differences in soil conditions, due to the modelling of the finite element
method it is assumed to be a perfect pile. Although different, the results still meet the
requirements based on SNI Geotechnical 8460:2017, so they can find the minimum value of the
retaining wall safety factor.
b. In the modelling of Soft Soil & Mohr Coulomb and Soft Soil & Hardening Soil using the finite
element method, the deformation values obtained are 33.54 mm and 27.45 with a safety factor
of 1.682. However, these results are different from the actual results where the deformation
value is 13.65 mm. This can occur by several factors ranging from the correlation approach,
differences in soil conditions, due to the modelling of the finite element method it is assumed
to be a perfect pile. Although different, the results still meet the requirements based on SNI
Geotechnical 8460:2017, so they can find the minimum value of the retaining wall safety factor.
c. In the Hardening Soil modelling using the finite element method, the deformation value is 28.81
mm, and the safety factor is 1.7. However, these results are different from the actual results
where the deformation value is 13.65 mm. This can be caused by several factors, starting from
the correlation approach, differences in soil conditions, because the finite element modelling
method is assumed to be a perfect pile. Based on SNI Geotechnical 8460:2017, the pile is still
said to be safe because it is not less than the SNI limit.

d. Based on the results of the comparison analysis above, it can be concluded that the deformation
value of the Mohr-Coulomb model is closer to the actual value in the field, followed by the
modelling of Soft Soil & Hardening Soil, Soft Soil & Mohr-Coulomb, and Hardening Soil.
Meanwhile, for the safety factor, it was found that the results of manual calculations were
greater in value than Mohr-Coulomb, Soft Soil & Hardening Soil, Soft Soil & Mohr-Coulomb,
and Hardening Soil.
