Abstract
Gas Engine for Electrical Power Plant Project of Selayar is a power plant which will be built in Selayar Regency. This plant uses gas and biodiesel as a fuel. The facilities needed in the power plant construction includes a Gas Engine, Service Water Tank and Biosolar Tank. This study aims to obtain the allowable bearing capacity of the prestressed spun pile foundation for the three buildings based on soil investigation data of SPT (Standard Penetration Test) at BH-1 (gas engine), BH-2 (service water tank) and BH-3 (biosolar tank). The Meyerhof formula is used for the calculation of ultimate bearing capacity analysis on prestressed spun piles with various diameters for each depth. Calculation of the allowable bearing capacity (Qa) of the foundation at a depth of 19 meters, using a spun pile with a diameter of 300 cm, obtained a Qa value of 94.17 tons at BH-1, 94.20 tons at BH-2, and 74.65 tons at BH-3. Using a spun pile with a diameter of 400 cm, the Qa values were 116.71 tons on BH-1, 117.64 tons on BH-2, and 91.92 tons on BH-3. Using a spun pile with a diameter of 500 cm, the Qa values were 168.67 tons on BH-1, 172.09 tons on BH-2, and 131.49 tons on BH-3. Meanwhile, the values of Qa obtained were 229.85 tons on BH-1, 236.66 tons on BH-2, and 177.79 tons on BH-3 with the use of a spun pile with a diameter of 600 cm.
Highlights
Selayar Regency, which is geographically an archipelago, currently uses a Diesel Power Plant to serve electricity needs
The lower structure as a foundation is generally divided into two types, namely shallow foundation and deep foundation
Standard Penetration Test (SPT) testing consists of mounting a soil sampler in the form of a split spoon sampler using a hammer of 140 lbs (63.5 kg) which falls free from a height of 30 inches (76 cm)
Summary
Selayar Regency, which is geographically an archipelago, currently uses a Diesel Power Plant to serve electricity needs. A Gas Engine for Electrical Power Plant is planned to be built to increase the electricity supply in Selayar Regency. This power plant requires facilities including gas engine building, service water tank and biodiesel tank. The lower structure as a foundation is generally divided into two types, namely shallow foundation and deep foundation. Selection of this type of foundation depends on the type of superstructure, whether including load construction or heavy load construction and from the type of soil. For a light load construction and good soil condition, usually using a shallow foundation is sufficient. Ready for heavy load construction, the deep foundation is usually the primary choice [1]
