Analysis of Bore Pile Carrying Power Diameter One meter in the Crystal Square Medan Project: Comparison of Element Methods to and Loading Test

Introduction

Building a strong and sturdy foundation is crucial for every building. The foundation must be able to support all the burden of the building and other loads to reach a stable soil layer. The loading test is usually done to determine the carrying capacity of the foundation of the pile, but this process costs quite expensive. In the Crystal Square Medan project, there were 319 piles, but only three pillars were carried out by the loading test. This study aims to analyze the axial carrying capacity of the Bore Pile foundation with a diameter of one meter. The analysis was carried out by utilizing soil investigation data in the field and laboratory data, then compared with the simulation results using the element method through plaxis software.

Background

The foundation of a building is a critical component that requires careful planning and design. The carrying capacity of the foundation is determined by the soil's ability to support the weight of the building and other loads. The loading test is a common method used to determine the carrying capacity of the foundation, but it is a time-consuming and expensive process. In the Crystal Square Medan project, only three piles were subjected to the loading test, while the remaining 316 piles were not. This study aims to provide a more accurate and cost-effective method for determining the carrying capacity of the Bore Pile foundation.

Methodology

The analysis was carried out by utilizing soil investigation data in the field and laboratory data. The soil investigation data included the soil's density, moisture content, and other relevant properties. The laboratory data included the soil's compressive strength, shear strength, and other relevant properties. The simulation results were obtained using the element method through plaxis software. The element method is a numerical method that uses a mesh of elements to model the soil's behavior. The Mohr Coulomb model was used to model the soil's behavior, which is a widely used model in geotechnical engineering.

Results

The results of the soil investigation showed a disparity of 868 tons in the calculation of the carrying capacity of the foundation ultimate. The simulation results of elements to consolidated based on ASTM showed the carrying capacity of 730 tons, while the simulation of elements to consolidated for seven days showed the carrying capacity of 630 tons. Compared to the results of the field loading test, the measured carrying capacity was 791.5 tons. The decrease in the largest load (830 tons) was 24.72 mm, which is within the allowed limit of 25.4 mm as per ASTM D1143/81 standards.

Discussion

The results of this study show that the element method can be used as an effective tool to predict the carrying capacity of Bore Pile without conducting a loading test in the field. This can provide significant cost savings and time. However, keep in mind that the simulation results must always be validated with field data to ensure accuracy. This study provides valuable information for practitioners in the field of civil engineering, especially in the planning and design of building foundations. By utilizing the method of element to and analysis of field data, accurate and effective carrying capacity predictions can be obtained, so as to minimize the risk of foundation failure and ensure building safety.

Conclusion

In conclusion, this study has shown that the element method can be used as an effective tool to predict the carrying capacity of Bore Pile without conducting a loading test in the field. The results of this study provide valuable information for practitioners in the field of civil engineering, especially in the planning and design of building foundations.
