Pengaruh Variasi Jarak Antar Fondasi Tiang Kelompok Dan Variasi Kekasaran Permukaan Terhadap Daya Dukung Pada Tanah Lunak
ABSTRACT
Upper soil crust of coastal area in Indonesia consists of greatly-thick soft
soil. Therefore, the use of end-bearing type pile foundation on that kind of area is
highly discouraged due to how expensive it is economically. Friction pile becomes
an alternative foundation for coastal area, however there’s still little friction
between pile surface and soil due to concrete and steel’s smooth surface. Pile
modification via improving pile surface’s coarseness can be considered an
alternative for improving friction force between pile and soil. This study aims to
determine the effect of pile surface coarseness towards pile surface’s bearing
capacity. This study was conducted by making a varying type of coarseness of the
pile surface and distance between piles. The first type of coarseness is matched
with pile with concrete ingredient. The second type of coarseness is made with
stone shards which cover the pile surface in its entirety. The third type of
coarseness is a variance of how the first and second coarseness are made,
however with same length between segments. The observation was conducted in a
laboratory and with loading test applied on the pile model. The test results were
analyzed with graphic method. The resulting study shows that there’s an
improvement in bearing capacity. Foundation with coarseness on its surface has
higher Qult value (98.03% - 207.03%) than those without coarseness.
