Since 2006, Sidoarjo Mud Volcano Levee has been gradually elevated by The Sidoarjo Mud Volcano Management Center (PPLS). The levee was constructed to prevent hot mud volcano which unpredictably erupted and debatable amount of experts, whereas it-s flowing into surrounding areas. Analysis of embankment stability was conducted by Sukandi (2012) and Wijayanto (2017) at point 10 D and point 21 respectively. However, the eruption on it is not yet enough stopped although the quantity has decreased significantly. In case of the matter, PPLS as an authority of LUSI did some increased levee as an additional embankment. Nevertheless, the high embankment causes instability. They, moreover, built on the soft soil foundation that has made a big awareness to analyze the embankment stability, particularly on the point of 10 D. A finite element method (FEM) was used for evaluation of embankment stability and the result shows that the embankment undergoes displacement and factor of safety (FoS) is 1.7.a
