SHALLOW FOUNDATION ANALYSIS OF A TWO-STORY HOUSE ON A FORMER PADDY FIELD

Abstract

The foundation becomes an element that receives forces from the building construction above, channels, them to the
subsoil, and serves to support the building so that there is no structural failure from the bottom. The sole foundation
itself is a foundation that supports structures directly on the ground whose depth is arguably shallow, or generally at
most 3 meters above ground level. This shallow foudndation is analyzed and designed in such a way as to be able to
support a two-story house building with soil conditions that are former rice fields. This research starts from analyzing
existing case studies. Before proceeding with the data calculation process, it is necessary to understand the basic
theory and also the formulas that will be used in this research. Afer that, the data calculation process and sondir test
results were carried out, which can be concluded that the dominant soil is dense clay. Therefore, a shallow foundation
is still feasible to use for lower structure. Next thing is to do the planning and calculation based on bearing capacity
and settlement permit. The planning results will then be analyzed to determine the coefficients used in determining
the costs in the use of shallow foundations. In this study, the cost calculation that has been carried out has a total of
Rp 119,678,664.38. From the total costs, it can be concluded that the use of shallow foundations still makes sense and
is one of the best options in the construction of this two story house
