In this paper, an optimized solution method is proposed for the 3D stability analysis of rock slopes subject to toppling failure based on their geometric and mechanical properties. It was verified by a 3D block system that focused on the geometric properties of toppling slopes as a research object, considering the force and its action point on the interface of the block system as unknown variables, as well as introducing the definition of a safety factor considering both tension and shear strength reduction. The proposed method implied setting constraints, such as the balance equation corresponding to block force and moment, as well as non-violation of the yield criterion, considering the minimum value of the safety factor as the objective function. It was applied to the analysis of two typical 3D models simulating toppling failure on slopes. The example of a 3D spherical toppling slope was reconstructed and corroborated by calculations. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed method could appropriately reflect the mechanical properties and stability behavior of a 3D toppling slope, thereby facilitating the analysis of the stability of 3D toppling rock slope model.

In the construction of public works infrastructure, especially road infrastructure works, bridge construction work plays a very important role besides the construction of the road itself. One of the things that deserves the attention of the planners in designing a bridge structure is the design of the substructure, this is because the substructure determines the quality and service life of a bridge. In addition, at present many cases of bridge structure failures are caused by failures of the substructure in holding the load acting on the bridge. The aim of this study was to determine the stability of the abutment to sliding failure and the stability of the abutment to overturning failure on the construction of the Aifa bridge in the Bintuni Bay Regency. From the results of the calculation of the stability of the abutments to sliding failure, when the abutments are in normal conditions was obtained safety factor (SF) values 1,907, in condition of the upper structure load is not working was obtained safety factor (SF) values 1,045 and during earthquake conditions was obtained safety factor (SF) values 1,419. While the results of the calculation of the stability of the abutments to overturning failure, when the abutments are in normal conditions was obtained safety factor (SF) values 4,640, in condition of the the upper structure load is not working was obtained safety factor (SF) values 1,658 and during earthquake conditions was obtained safety factor (SF) values 3,159. Because obtained safety factor (SF) values greater than 1, so that the stability of the abutment is safe to sliding failure and overturning failure.

On the construction of green open space Jl. Kinibalu Banjarbaru There is a 6 meters tall slope beneath which the river is lined up during the rainy season and makes the slope exposed by water plus the absence of load or traffic on it make the pore figures on the land is large. Therefore, for protection reason, there is a soil alignment in the construction of soil retaining walls. The planned ground retaining wall type is cantilever and gabion. The stability analysis of the ground retaining walls is done manually and with the help of the Geoslope/W 2018 software. The value of the stability of the style against the bolsters, sliding, and carrying capacity of the soil using manual calculations for cantilever type and Netlon qualifies SNI 8460:2017. And for the overall stability calculation using Geoslope/W 2018 software obtained safety factor (SF) > 1.5. From the analysis, the design of planning can be used because it is safe against the dangers of avalanche.

Many studies have begun to develop the concept of cracked soil. The results of research related to cracked soil are able to answer the irregularities that occur, such as the difference in the results of the stability analysis which is considered safe with the conventional bishop method, while the conditions in the field are landslides. Swelling soil is soil that is susceptible to changes in water content. This type of soil is very prone to cracking. To build infrastructure on the swelling soil type, an improvement must be made, one of which is by mixing the swelling soil with biopolymer. The results of this biopolymer mixing are then modeled in the New Slope Stability Analysis Program (NSSAP) 1.0 which refers to the concept of cracked soil. From the analysis, it was found that the slope safety factor before improvement with biopolymer was 0.305 and the safety factor after improvement with biopolymer was 2.006. From the results of this study, it can be seen that the role of biopolymers in stabilizing swelling soil is quite large, which is around 558%.
