Abstract

The bearing capacity of the foundation is the ability of the soil to withstand the pressure or load of the building on the ground safely without causing shear failure or excessive decrease. The bearing capacity value of a soil is based on the characteristics of the subgrade soil. The analysis was conducted using the Mayerhoft (1963) and Hana (1981) methodologies in the West Kalimantan and South Kalimantan areas. The results of calculations at the South Kalimantan location yielded values of 11.9 kN for the load P = 5 kN with a depth of 0.5 m and dimensions of 1x1 m, and 11.9 kN for the load P = 10 kN with dimensions of 1x1 m at a depth of 0.5 m. The West Kalimantan location obtained values for loads P = 5kN and 10kN with a depth of 0.5 m, so this condition is unqualified for the allowable bearing capacity. Compared to areas in West Kalimantan, South Kalimantan is still able to satisfy the requirements for shallow foundation bearing capability.
