The existence of soft soil is one of the obstacles in building road infrastructure, where the carrying capacity of soft soil is very low and can create instability of a building above it, and this is still one of the serious problems that must be overcome. One solution to building a road over soft soil is by using the pavement with a glued plate system, this model is considered to be stronger when compared to the conventional [1] slab pavement system because the addition of piles as pavement anchor can increase the stability of the pavement because it can increase the bearing capacity of the pavement plate.This research was carried out by an experimental test in the laboratory by making a prototype of slab pavement supported by piles. Applied lateral load is 1 kN, 2 kN and 4 kN from modification vibrator machine. Other than the experimental test, in addition, finite element method analysis carried out, and compared the results of the experimental test.The experimental results showed that an increase in lateral loading would increase the deflection of the slab pavement, for a lateral load of 1 kN there was a deflection of 0.21 mm and an increase of 34% for loading of 2 kN and an increase of 45% for loading 4 kN. The pattern is the same in the finite element method analysis, where there was a 9.3% increase for 2 kN loading and increased to 34% for 4 kN loading.
Pipes laying on an unstable slope of soft soil are prone to movement. Pipelines that are buried in unstable slope areas will move due to lateral loads from soil movement which can cause damage to the pipeline. A laboratory small-scale model of the reinforcement system of piles supported retaining walls was conducted to investigate the effect of lateral load on the reinforcement. In this experiment, the lateral forces of 0.3 kN, 0.35 kN, and 0.4 kN and vertical force of 0.05 kN, 0.1 kN, and 0.15 kN were used. Lateral load from electric jack is equipped with load cell and vertical load used cement-steel box. To validate the experimental result, a finite element program was used. The experimental results showed that an increase in lateral loading, increased the displacement of the reinforcement system. For a Vertical Load 0.05 kN and versus a lateral load of 0.3 kN causes a horizontal displacement of 0.34 mm and an increased of 2.94 % for loading of 0.35 kN and an increased of 8.82% for loading 0.4 kN. The pattern is the same in the finite element method analysis, where there was a 2.38% increased for 0.35 kN loading and an increased to 33.33 % for 0.4 kN loading. In the same Load, the Reinforcement System is reliable as shown in Safety Factor on dry condition were
