Impacts Due to Foundation Piling Work

Abstract

The foundation erection work is a job that has a high enough complexity. In making the decision of the type of pile and the method of erection, practitioners have many choices with various conditions in the field. Decision making will result in an impact during the foundation erection process. This study aims to analyze what are the impacts caused by the choice of pole type and piling method. A preliminary survey was conducted together with four experts to verify and reduce the 11 impact indicators obtained from the literature study, obtained 6 impact indicators which are quite relevant according to experts and will be used in the questionnaire survey. The questionnaire survey was conducted on 45 practitioner respondents who had carried out foundation building work. Data analysis validity and reliability tests were carried out on the questionnaire data. It was concluded that there were three main impacts that occurred due to the choice of the type of foundation pile and the piling method, namely environmental impact, economic impact, and social impact. The main impacts are broken down into six impacts including the use of fuel, ground vibration, fuel and material costs, equipment and labor costs, workplace safety, and noise.

The Analysis Performance of Project Delays in Pile Foundation Work

“…As part of the foundation selection process, it is important to consider the load of the upper building where the load will be supported by the foundation, as well as the carrying capacity of the soil and the depth of hard soil, which will affect the choice of the foundation shape. There are many types of foundations, and choosing one depends on costs and implementation time (Sari et al, 2021). That is why the type of foundation should be chosen carefully.…”

Reliability analysis of pile foundations: peculiarities of consideration of uncertainties and partial factors

“…Progressive and continuous progress of positive socio-economic changes, which can be observed today, accelerating every day the pace of the industrial revolution, determine the sustainable development of many industrial sectors, including construction industry, in particular, the development of residential, industrial, energy and road infrastructure [14]. This leads to the fact that regions with unfavorable geological and engineering conditions, where the load-bearing soils are tens of meters below the surface, are gradually developing, which necessitates the use of deep indirect foundations, the most popular of which are pile foundations.…”
