FOUNDATION ANALYSIS
1. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of foundation analysis is to acquire a capable foundation system for
supporting load from upper structure. This analysis including soil investigation result
and calculation of foundation bearing capacity.

Where,
Qu = the ultimate pile capacity
Qp = the ultimate end bearing capacity
Qs = the ultimate skin friction resistance
The contribution of soil cohesion for the ultimate skin friction resistance could be
obtained by the following formula:
n
Qs cu i l i p ......................................................................................(2)
i 1
Where,
Qs = contribution of soil cohesion, c for ultimate skin friction resistance
= adhesion factor
= perimeter of pile
Adhesion factor for driven pile can be obtained from Error: Reference source not
found that is published by API Method - 2 (1974).
Foundation Analysis
Average unit frictional resistance of pile that is driven in sand layer can also be
calculated based on formula derived by Meyerhof as follow:
Qs 2 N As (kN ) .........................................................................................(3)
Where,
N
= average N-SPT value for the total embedded length of the pile
................................................................................................(4)
Where,
Cu = Undrained cohesion (ton/m2 or kN/m2)
Ap = area of pile tip (m2)
Ultimate end bearing capacity of driven pile for sandy soil or silt soil can be
calculated by Meyerhofs formula as shown in Eq (5) and (6), respectively:
Qu 40 N Ap
...............................................................................................(5)
Qu 30 N Ap ...............................................................................................(6)
Where,
Qp = ultimate pile bearing capacity (ton)
Ap = area of pile tip (m2)

Foundation Analysis
Analysis was performed for based on two (2) borelogs data, BH-1 and BH-2. Based
on N-SPT data, the maximum depths for pile penetration are approximately between
15 m and 18 m.
Bearing capacity analysis is needed in order to determine the number of pile
foundation on each point. The graphics of pile penetration vs. axial bearing capacity
can be seen from following figure.
