make space; Allah will make space for you. And when you are told, “Arise” then
arise; Allah will raise those who have believed among you and those who were
given knowledge, by degrees. And Allah is Acquainted with what you do”.
(Qur’an Surah Al-Mujadilah verse 11)

“And when My servants ask you, (O Muhammad), Concerning Me – Indeed I am
near, I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let

EFFECT OF SKIRT TO CIRCULAR FOOTING ON CLAY
SUBJECTED ON VERTICAL LOADING

Abstrak
Fondasi merupakan bagian terpenting pada struktur bangunan. Hal-hal
yang harus diperhatikan dalam merencanakan fondasi yaitu nilai daya dukung
dan penurunan. Diperlukan adanya upaya perbaikan dan penyelidikan baik
pada tanah ataupun fondasi. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mempelajari
pengaruh penambahan skirt pada fondasi telapak lingkaran untuk mengurangi
penurunan pada lempung sebagai salah satu solusi tersebut. Terdapat sembilan
variasi pengujian laboratorium fondasi telapak lingkaran yang terbuat dari baja
diameter 75 mm, 100 mm, dan 150 mm dengan panjang skirt 100 mm dan 150
mm pada tanah lempung dengan mempertahankan kadar air dan metode
pemadatan yang sama. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penambahan skirt
sangat efektif untuk mengurangi penurunan fondasi pada lempung yang
ditinjau pada beban yang sama 1 kN. Peninjauan pada rasio L/D pada diameter
yang sama juga menunjukkan bahwa semakin tinggi rasio L/D maka
penurunan fondasi yang terjadi semakin kecil. Serta pada peninjauan pada
penurunan 3 mm dengan diameter sama menunjukkan semakin panjang skirt
semakin besar beban yang ditahan fondasi.
Kata Kunci: fondasi, fondasi telapak lingkaran, lempung, penurunan, skirt.
Abstract

Foundation is an important part in building structure. Designing the
foundation has to consider the bearing capacity and the settlement. It is
necessary to improve and to investigate either on the soil or on the foundation.
This research performed to study the effect of skirt on circular footing to
reduce the settlement on clay as the alternative solution. There were nine
variation experiment laboratory of the circular footing made of steel diameter
75 mm, 100 mm and 150 mm with length of skirt 100 mm and 150 mm on clay
by keeping the similar water content and compaction method. The results
show that the skirt is effectively to reduce the foundation settlement on clay
which is observed on similar load 1 kN. The observations on L/D ratio on
similar diameter also show that the higher L/D ratio the smaller settlement. It
is also the observations on settlement 3 mm with similar diameter show that
the longer skirt the higher load which arrested by the footing.
Keywords: foundation, circular footing, clay, settlement, skirt.
