Soft soil also well known in geotechnical properties where low bearing capacity, high water content, high compressibility, structural instability, lateral pressures, differential settlement and long term settlement. In situ subgrade often not provided the support required to achieve acceptable performance under traffic loading and environmental demand. Previous similar projects are importance to determine the suitable soil improvement method in relation to project. In this study, software application approach by PLAXIS 2D in order to evaluate the behaviour of the subgrade stabilization using an actual field data form Subsurface Investigation (S.I) work report and PLAXIS 2D Manual. The effectiveness of PLAXIS finite element to predict the settlement of soft soil base on different type stabilization are successfully performed related to this matter.
