The pile foundation is one of the deep foundation types commonly used to support building loads when hard soil layers are deeply located. To determine the ultimate bearing capacity of a pile foundation of the load test results, there are several methods commonly used to interpretation test results such as Davisson method, Mazurkiewich method, Chin method, Buttler Hoy method and De Beer method. The aim of this study was to determine the characteristics of soft soil and bakau piles used in the study and to analyze the size of the bearing capacity ultimate of pile foundation that is modeled on a small scale in the laboratory. From the test results of material characteristics of the soil used is organic clay type with medium plasticity with specific gravity 2.75, liquid limit, LL = 50.36% and plasticity index, PI = 13.2%. While the results of testing the characteristics of bakau piles obtained average water content of 21.58%, tensile strength of 18.51 MPa, compressive strength of parallel fiber 23.75 MPa and perpendicular fiber 14.10 MPa, bending strength 106, 22 MPa, and strong split 29.91 MPa.

The Difference

Buildings that stand on soft soil usually use a pile foundation. Testing the ultimate bearing capacity of pile foundations in the field is a Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA) tool. Besides being inexpensive to test, the results can also be known quickly. This tool is supported by a software called CAPWAP (CAse Pile Wave Analysis Program).In this paper, a performance comparison of the Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA) and CAPWAP (CAse Pile Wave Analysis Program) software will be presented in producing the ultimate bearing capacity of pile foundations. The results of both will be analyzed in such a way that the causes of the differences in the performance of the Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA) and the CAPWAP software are known.The results obtained show that the performance of the Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA) tool will not be optimal if the energy transferred to the pile foundation is too small. The energy given by the hammer when struck must be in the range of 1% - 2%, if it is smaller then the performance of the tool in producing the ultimate bearing capacity will not be representative. The difference in the ultimate bearing capacity between the PDA device and the CAPWAP software for energy transferred to the pile foundation (EMX) under the specified energy standard is 10.71% - 33.23%. Meanwhile, energy that meets the specified standards has a value between 0.24% - 1.80%.

Spt Data

The foundation is a construction that continues the burden of the upper structure and passes it on to the soil below it. A bored pile foundation is now an option in working on structures in densely populated areas and tall buildings. The purpose of this study is to calculate and compare the carrying capacity of the bored pile foundation based on N-SPT data with the O 'Neil & Reese, and Reese & Wright methods, while the Loading test data with the interpretation of the Davisson method and the Mazurkiewicz method. The results of calculations based on N-SPT data, the average ultimate carrying capacity of the foundation with the O’neil & Reese method of 1211.61 tons, Reese & Wright of 1235.02 tons. While the Interpretation of Loading test method for Marzukiewicz is 1267.00 tons, Davisson is 850.40 tons, and the carrying capacity of PDA test results is 121.72 tons. From the calculation of the bearing capacity of the consecutive foundation of the smallest is the Davisson method, the O'neil & Reese method, the PDA test method, the Reese & Wright method, and finally the Mazurkiewicz method.

Test results show that it is able to effectively boost horizontal ultimate bearing capacity and ductility deformability of the RC columns with AFL for reinforcement; besides, there is a linear function relationship between horizontal ultimate bearing capacity, target ductility factor, and damage percentage of secant stiffness.

Capacity Characteristic

An experimental program of laboratory bearing tests was performed to characterize the bearing capacity of foundation on unsaturated granular soils. All tests were performed by pushing a circular rod on the surface of compacted sand specimens with different values of matric suction until failure. The test results show an increase in ultimate bearing capacity with increasing matric suction at low suction value but a decrease in that at high level of suction. The comparisons between the test results and simulations using the expressions proposed in this paper are presented and discussed. Good agreements are achieved for all testing values of suction.

Pile Resistance

Geo-energy applications such as energy piles can expose unsaturated, deep foundation soils to elevated temperatures. This paper presents a closed-form equation for the ultimate bearing capacity of piles in unsaturated soils subject to elevated temperatures under drained conditions. For this purpose, a temperature-dependent effective stress model was incorporated into calculations of skin resistance and end bearing resistance of piles. The proposed temperature-dependent model is an extension of the modified β method for determining the ultimate pile bearing capacity of unsaturated soils under drained conditions. Employing the proposed model, a parametric study was carried out to evaluate the ultimate pile bearing capacity for hypothetical clay and silt soils at temperatures ranging from 25 °C to 55 °C. For both clay and silt, the results indicated that the ultimate pile bearing capacity varies with an increase in temperature. Different trends with temperature were observed for clay and silt. A monotonic increase in pile resistance was observed in clays. For silt, the pile resistance increased at relatively low matric suction whereas it decreased at higher matric suctions.

In order to study the influence of steep slope-karst coupling on the vertical bearing characteristics of pile foundation, the orthogonal simulation tests of pile foundation under 4 different roof thickness and 5 different slope are carried out by using Marc finite element software, and the correction coefficient of vertical partial bearing capacity of pile foundation according to roof thickness and slope is put forward. The test results show that when the thickness of the roof is more than 3 times the pile diameter, the ultimate bearing capacity of the pile foundation tends to be stable, and the value is about 19% when the slope is 45°; the ultimate bearing capacity of the pile foundation decreases gradually with the increase of the slope, and the reduction reaches 29.83% when the slope is greater than 45°. According to the calculation results, the variation law of vertical partial bearing capacity of pile foundation is analyzed, and the calculation formula of standard value of vertical ultimate bearing capacity of pile foundation in steep slope karst area considering both roof thickness and slope is put forward, and the correction coefficients αi and β are put forward.
