Abstract:
The role of the foundation in construction is crucial. Foundation
planning aims to ensure that it can support loads up to a specified
safety limit, including the maximum load that may be encountered.
The foundation serves as the lower structure that interacts with the
soil, providing stability and support for the superstructure. In this
study, the analysis focused on the bearing capacity of the pile
foundation under lateral forces. The Brinch Hansen method was
employed to determine the allowable lateral bearing capacity, while
the computer application was used to calculate the lateral
deflection. Various pile lengths, such as 20m, 25m, 30m, 34m, and
40m, as well as different dimensions, including circular piles with
diameters D30, D35, D40, and square piles measuring 30x30,
35x35, and 40x40, were considered. The analysis revealed that
square cross sections exhibited greater allowable lateral bearing
capacity compared to circular cross sections. The square sections
showed smaller lateral deflection values in comparison to the
circular sections.
