Abstract

Soft clay soils represent a significant challenge for embankment construction due to high compressibility, low shear strength, low bearing capacity, and excessive settlement potential. This study presents an enhanced finite-element model to evaluate the performance of Mortar Column Inclusion (Inklusi Kolom Mortar, or IKM) as a rigid inclusion supporting embankments over slightly overconsolidated soft clays, as implemented in the Serang-Panimbang Toll Road Project (STA 75+600 to STA 75+800). The propose approach integrates depth-dependent multilinear lateral resistance with structural “dummy” plate elements to capture soil arching within the Load Transfer Platform (LTP) and lateral column-soil interaction—an approach not previously applied in rigid inclusions modeling for soft clays. Studies on numerical modeling of IKM systems in slightly overconsolidated soft clays remain limited. Finite element analyses are conducted using PLAXIS 2D and 3D with axisymmetric, unit-cell, and plane strain approaches. The results show that the "dummy" plate simulates soil arching in the LTP and improves the representation of negative skin friction, neutral-plane transition, and axial load distribution. Depth-dependent lateral resistance enhances predictions of column bending moments and horizontal deformation within varying soil layers. Field validation indicates good agreement, with inclinometer displacement predicted at 40.79 mm (difference < 10%). Predicted vertical settlements of 20.71 cm (centerline) and 19.38 (edge) are also consistent with settlement plate readings of 15.80 and 11.00 cm, respectively. These findings confirm that the enhanced model provides a comprehensive evaluation of stress distribution, pile deformation, and global stability for ground improvement design in soft clays
