The Study on Bore Piles Foundation of the Reinforced Concrete Arch Bridge Beams of Tukad Pekerisan and Tukad Penet

Abstract:

The foundation of the reinforced concrete arch bridge beams of Tukad Pekerisan and Tukad Penet (Pekerisan River and Penet River) Bali, were first designed to use well foundation on a rock soil adapted to the boring results. However, at the time of excavation, the base soil was founded to have textures that contain of both longitudinal and transverse cracks. The fractures were found to form a rectangular pattern and continued down to the layer of soil. It was feared that the slope will not be strong enough and could collapse. The purpose of this study is to determine the strength and stability of the bore piles foundations of reinforced concrete arch bridge, in order to avoid the possible collapse of the banks on the bridge foundation. The alternative of bore piles as underpinning were selected by considering the field problems, such as the elongated soil crack sand a very steep slope of soil near the construction.
