    CONCLUSIONS

    The purpose to do soil investigation to to determine the bearing capacity


    of the soil, its settlement rate and the position of the water table. We had to
    analysis the soil investigation report and find out the soil parameters. The
    friction angle is 180. The cohesion value is 21kPa. The dry weight ,γdry is
    14.809kN/m2. The saturated unit weight,γ satured is 28.663kN/m2. Moreover, we
    had find out, the existing ground is formed by two(2) subsoil layers from
    Reddish Yellow, Very stiff silty Clay to Dark Greyish,Hard, Silty Clay. The
    ground water table is 11.20m below existing ground surface.

    We had calculate the Qp ,Qu,Qs by using manual calculations. The value of


    Qp is 185.22kN. The value of Qu is 725.61kN. The value of Qs is 540.39kN.
    The data was analysis using the manual calculation.

    By observing the ground condition and loading, pile foundation is deemed


    the most suitable and economical system to support the proposed loading.
    1000mm X 1000mm RC square pile foundation is deemed the most suitable
    and economical to support the loading. The proposed 1000mm X 1000mm
    RC square pile foundation with pile design capacity 725.61kN is deemed
    acceptable subject to load test validation. By using Plaxis software, we had
    designed and calculated the most suitable pile foundation. The extreme total
    spacement is 5.47X10-3m. It is safe to do the pile foundation with this design.
