Abstract

The foundation is a part of building construction that serves to place the building and distribute the load of the building to the ground to support the building. For the foundation, there should be no local settlement or any larger settlements that exceed a certain limit. This study aims to determine the correlation between load and foundation settlement, the ultimate load capacity, the soil elasticity and rebound, and the bearing capacity result from Meyerhof and Reese compared with the result from the Chin method. Two points are being compared on the foundation since they obtain the maximum load. The static axial compressive test took place after 28 days of curing. The ultimate load capacity based on standard penetration test result is 123.5 and 120.01 tons for Meyerhof and Reese at al., respectively, and the ultimate load capacity from the loaddeformation curve is 124.22 and 119.4 tons for the Chin method. Based on these results, every three methodshave a good agreement result with the ratio of ultimate load capacity from Meyerhof and Reese et al to Chin method is 1.01: 0.99: 1
