Tips Mudah Menentukan Ukuran Pondasi Cakar Ayam Rumah 2 Lantai

Summary

This video explains how to accurately determine the appropriate size for a building's foundation. By calculating the load from the building’s columns and factoring in the soil’s bearing capacity, viewers learn to calculate the required foundation area. The process includes simple steps for calculating foundation size based on load distribution and lateral forces like wind or earthquakes. The video uses an example to demonstrate the method for both foundation size and dimensions. It also emphasizes the importance of conducting a soil test for accurate bearing capacity values, ensuring a safe and cost-effective foundation design.

Takeaways

• 😀 Proper foundation sizing is crucial for building stability and safety. Too small a foundation can lead to structural settlement, cracks, or even collapse, while too large can lead to excessive costs.
• 😀 To determine the foundation size, two key pieces of data are needed: the building's load at the column points and the soil's bearing capacity.
• 😀 For a typical 2-story house, an estimated building load is around 1.8 tons per square meter, but this can vary depending on factors like roof type and wall construction.
• 😀 The bearing capacity of the soil can vary depending on location; for this example, the soil's bearing capacity is assumed to be 20 tons per square meter.
• 😀 The distribution of building load across columns is important. Each column supports a portion of the total load based on its position in relation to the other columns.
• 😀 The tributary area for each column helps in calculating the load it will carry. This area is determined by the spacing between columns and the building's layout.
• 😀 Once the load on each column is determined, the required foundation area can be calculated by multiplying the load by a safety factor (typically 1.2 to account for lateral loads like wind and earthquakes).
• 😀 The foundation size can be calculated by dividing the load (adjusted for safety) by the soil's bearing capacity.
• 😀 After calculating the foundation's required area, the dimensions (length and width) can be derived by taking the square root of the area, rounding as necessary.
• 😀 Local soil conditions may vary significantly, so it is recommended to conduct soil tests before finalizing the foundation design to ensure accuracy in calculations.

Q & A

What is the importance of foundation size in building structures?

The foundation size is crucial because an incorrectly sized foundation can lead to structural issues. A foundation that is too small can cause the building to sink, leading to cracks or even collapse, while a foundation that is too large can lead to unnecessary costs.

What can happen if the foundation is too small?

If the foundation is too small, it can cause uneven settlement of the building, resulting in cracks or splits in walls. In more severe cases, the building may tilt or even collapse, posing a significant danger to its occupants.

What happens if the foundation is too large?

A foundation that is too large will incur extra costs that could have been avoided. These additional costs arise from the larger materials and labor required for construction, which don't provide any structural benefit.

What data is required to determine the proper size of a foundation?

To determine the correct foundation size, two key pieces of data are needed: the load of the building at each column point and the soil's bearing capacity.

How is the load of a building at a column point determined?

The load on a column is calculated by determining the tributary area of the column, which is the area of the building that the column supports. The load is the area multiplied by the building's load per square meter.

What is the formula for calculating the required foundation area?

The formula for calculating the required foundation area is: Foundation Area = (Load x 1.2) / Soil Bearing Capacity. The factor of 1.2 is used to account for lateral loads like wind or earthquakes.

How is the foundation's side length determined from the area?

To determine the side length of the foundation (assuming it is square-shaped), you simply take the square root of the calculated foundation area.

What are the specific calculations for Column 1 in the script?

For Column 1, the tributary area is 25 m², and the load is 45 tons (25 m² x 1.8 tons/m²). The required foundation area is calculated as (45 tons x 1.2) / 20 tons/m² = 2.7 m². The side length of the foundation is the square root of 2.7 m², which is approximately 1.64 m, rounded to 1.7 m.

What are the specific calculations for Column 2 in the script?

For Column 2, the tributary area is 20 m², and the load is 36 tons (20 m² x 1.8 tons/m²). The required foundation area is calculated as (36 tons x 1.2) / 20 tons/m² = 2.6 m². The side length of the foundation is the square root of 2.6 m², which is approximately 1.47 m, rounded to 1.5 m.

Why is soil testing recommended before building a foundation?

Soil testing is recommended because the bearing capacity of soil varies by location. Conducting a soil test ensures that the actual bearing capacity of the ground is used in the foundation calculations, providing more accurate and safe results.
