Pile foundation is used when the building load is too large or top soil at the construction site
of low bearing capacity. Thus the load of the building had to be moved to solid soil layer that lies deep
in the ground.
Pile foundation is one of the familiar substructures that serves as the cornerstone of the
structural stability of the building in addition to the structural strength of the frame itself. It is able to
bear high loads and usually cannot be borne by the structure of the soil is soft and has a low bearing
capacity.
Pile foundation failure will cause the deposition of buildings and other structures, and will
affect services such as pipe, cable and other.
Pile foundation can be divided into two types, depending on the way the load is transferred
from the building to the ground:
Shallow foundation
Deep foundation
a) SHALLOW FOUNDATION
Pad footing
Strip footing
Raft footing
Combined footing
Important Things To Be Cautious
If there is soft ground at a depth of more than 3m, shallow foundation is impractical because it
would involve digging too deep.
The size and type of foundation depends on the load capacity of the column and forest land.
Suitable base for shallow ground hard with the SPT, N exceed 5.
Fundamentals of reinforced concrete foundation and footings path cannot be built on tambun land.
Concrete foundation is not recommended for the cut and fill. This is to avoid the problem of
differential settlement.
Concrete foundation is also not recommended at or near the slopes.
The holes were dug cannot be exposed for too long. Concrete work should be carried out as soon as
possible.
b) DEEP FOUNDATION.
Deep foundation (pile) is used when the subsoil is not suitable to bear the load because:
End-Bearing pile
ii.
Friction pile
iii.
TYPES OF PILE
d) Micro Piling
It is circular and has a diameter less than 300mm of around 100mm - 250mm.
The maximum length of up to 60 meters.
Bearing loads between 200 kN-2000 kN.
The length of the based on the state of subsurface soil, rock and load capacity of the violence
suffered by the pile.
