Evaluasi Daya Dukung Pondasi Telapak Berdasarkan Plate Bearing, Metode Analitis dan Metode Numerik

Abstract

The soil must be able to sustain every load which is placed on the soil without the occurrence of shear failure. The bearing capacity of the soil shear and ultimate bearing capacity are the soil bearing reaction. The·· objective of this thesis· is to analyze the bearing capacity of the spread foundation by applying the loading test type of Plate Bearing Test on the width and the depth side of the spread foundation at the full scale by comparing it with the bearing capacity resulted from sondering test (Dutch Cone Penetration), and analytical bearing capacity generated by Terzaghi, Meyerhof, Hansen, and Vesic methods by using soil parameters which enumerated from laboratory test in line with bearing capacity obtained by numerical fine elemental method using Plaxis program. Based on the result of the conducting research it was found that the ultimate bearing capacity generated by the Plate Bearing Test and the bearing capacity originated from finite elemental method is only slightly different. The largest bearing capacity occurred on Meyerhof method and the smallest one generated by Hansen method. It was concluded that the ultimate bearing capacity generated by Plate Bearing Test is reliable used as one of the methods to determine the bearing capacity of the shallow foundation because the generating bearing capacity is safer compared with others.
