Analysis Of The Bearing Capacity Of The Boredpile Foundation In The Advanced Construction Project Of Class Iia Prison Pematang Siantar Using Analytical Method And Finite Element Method With Plaxis 2D

Foundations are used in civil engineering to define a building construction that functions as a building support and transmits the load of the building above it to a layer of soil that has sufficient bearing capacity. Meanwhile, the foundation itself consists of two types, namely shallow foundation and deep foundation. Boredpile foundation is an example of a deep foundation. Bored pile foundation is a type of tube-shaped deep foundation (deep well), which functions to forward the load of the building structure above it from the ground surface to the hard soil layer below. The purpose of writing this thesis is to determine the settlement value and bearing capacity of bored pile foundation with the comparison of analytical methods (Meyerhoff and Schmertmann & Nottingham) and finite element method with the help of Plaxis 2D Software and PDA. The results and discussion of the calculation analysis obtained the conclusion that the comparison of the bearing capacity of the foundation using the analytical method and the finite element method with Plaxis 2D obtained comparison results with the Mayerhoff method of 33.37%, Schermetmann & Nottingham produced 44.44%, and Plaxis 2D of 38.64%. While in the comparison of foundation settlement results obtained with mayerhoff results of 6.22%, Schermetmann & Nottingham produces 4.56%.
