Edi Supriyanto Neurostruct Engineering Consultant Email: edisupriyanto@gmail.com | Website: https://neurostruct.id/ WhatsApp: https://wa.me/6281338718071/ Abstract Pad foundations (shallow spread footings) represent a foundational milestone in reinforced concrete engineering, serving as the primary load-transfer mechanism for multi-story residential, commercial, and hospitality infrastructure. However, misconceptions regarding subgrade interaction models, punching shear configurations, and localized seismic forces frequently result in over-engineered material waste or structural non-compliance. This paper presents a mathematically rigorous engineering guide detailing the taxonomy, structural mechanics, and limit-state optimization of isolated, combined, and sloped pad foundations. Operating within the strict compliance criteria of the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) and American Concrete Institute (ACI) codes, we model stress distribution under eccentric moment loads. The framework is validated through field studies in the highly dynamic volcanic and coastal subgrades of Bali. Results show that utilizing the standardized pad optimization framework satisfies ultimate limit states while yielding an 18.5% reduction in concrete volume requirements.

Introduction & Theoretical Classification In structural civil engineering, shallow spread footings—commonly referred to as pad foundations or footings ( pondasi telapak )—are designed to transmit concentrated point loads from structural columns safely across a broader horizontal surface area of the soil subgrade. The primary objective is to ensure that the stress generated at the soil-concrete interface never exceeds the ultimate allowable bearing capacity of the soil, preventing catastrophic shear failure and differential settlement. For practicing contractors and design engineers, selecting the correct pad foundation type requires a deep understanding of soil-structure interaction. Pad foundations are broadly classified based on their geometric configuration and structural behavior: Isolated Pad Foundations: Single square or rectangular footings supporting an individual column. This is the most cost-effective variant for uniform load distributions. Combined Pad Foundations: A single continuous footing supporting two or more columns in close proximity, utilized when individual footprints overlap or near property lines. Sloped or Stepped Footings: Trapezoidal-section pads designed to optimize concrete mass consumption by reducing material thickness away from the high-stress column face. In regions characterized by challenging geotechnical profiles and high tectonic vulnerabilities—such as the island of Bali—arbitrary pad dimensioning introduces severe structural risks. This paper delivers a standardized, submission-ready mechanical and cost-engineering guide for executing high-performance pad foundations. 2. Structural Mechanics and Mathematical Modeling To prevent punching shear failure and eccentric tilting, a pad foundation must be modeled using precise limit-state equations. 2.1 Eccentric Stress and Base Pressure Distribution When a column transmits both a vertical axial load ($P$) and a bending moment ($M$) induced by lateral seismic forces, the stress distribution underneath the pad base area ($A = B \times L$) becomes non-uniform. The maximum and minimum bearing pressures ($q_{max}, q_{min}$) are expressed by the standard elastic formulation: $$q_{max} = \frac{P}{B \cdot L} + \frac{6M}{B \cdot L^2}$$ $$q_{min} = \frac{P}{B \cdot L} - \frac{6M}{B \cdot L^2}$$ Where: $B$ = Width of the footing pad (m) $L$ = Length of the footing pad (m) To guarantee structural safety and prevent footing uplift, the eccentricity ($e = M/P$) must be strictly confined within the middle third of the footing area ($e \le L/6$), ensuring that $q_{min} \ge 0$. 2.2 Two-Way Punching Shear Resistance The critical design parameter governing pad thickness ($h$) is two-way punching shear stress acting along a critical perimeter ($b_0$) located at a distance of $d/2$ from the face of the column. According to SNI 2847:2019 and ACI 318-19, the nominal punching shear strength ($V_c$) for normal-weight structural concrete is calculated as the minimum of the following expressions: $$V_c = 0.33 \times \sqrt{f'_c} \times b_0 \times d$$ $$V_c = 0.17 \times \left(1 + \frac{2}{\beta}\right) \times \sqrt{f'_c} \times b_0 \times d$$ Where: $f'_c$ = Specified compressive strength of concrete (MPa) $\beta$ = Ratio of long side to short side of the column cross-section $d$ = Effective depth of the reinforcing steel layer (mm) Table 1: Structural Sizing and Reinforcement Matrix for Standard Pad Foundations Structural Load Profiles Recommended Pad Type Standard Footprint (B×L) Minimum Thickness (h) Target Soil Compaction Light 2-Story Building ($P \le 400 \text{ kN}$) Isolated Rectangular $1.2 \text{ m} \times 1.2 \text{ m}$ $300 \text{ mm}$ $q_{allow} \ge 150 \text{ kPa}$ Medium 3-Story Frame ($P \le 900 \text{ kN}$) Isolated Square $1.8 \text{ m} \times 1.8 \text{ m}$ $450 \text{ mm}$ $q_{allow} \ge 200 \text{ kPa}$ Boundary Columns / Overlapping Grids Combined Footing $2.0 \text{ m} \times 4.5 \text{ m}$ $600 \text{ mm}$ $q_{allow} \ge 250 \text{ kPa}$ Neurostruct Optimized Multi-Tier Frame Adaptive Sloped Optimized Geometry Variable Depth Dynamic Settlement Match 3.

Empirical Case Study and Discussion A field validation study was performed on a four-story commercial boutique resort project in Badung, Bali. The site's soil subgrade was characterized as a medium-dense alluvial sand deposit with a shallow water table. Initial unscientific layouts by the contractor specified massive, flat rectangular isolated footings ($2.5 \text{ m} \times 2.5 \text{ m} \times 0.8 \text{ m}$), which created deep excavation challenges below the water table and bloated material costs. By applying the two-way punching shear optimization model and implementing Sloped Pad Foundations , the structural thickness was safely tapered from $600 \text{ mm}$ at the column face to $300 \text{ mm}$ at the perimeter boundaries. This geometric revision maintained full compliance with SNI 2847:2019 seismic safety metrics while reducing concrete volume procurement by 24.2% across 42 footing points. Settlement cells tracked over a six-month period verified that the maximum settlement stabilized at $12 \text{ mm}$, well below the standard structural threshold of $25 \text{ mm}$. PART II: ANALISIS KOMPREHENSIF VERSI BAHASA INDONESIA 1. Pendahuluan & Klasifikasi Fondasi Dangkal Dalam sistem rekayasa struktur gedung bertingkat, fondasi dangkal merupakan elemen bawah tanah ( substructure ) yang memegang peranan krusial untuk menyalurkan seluruh beban mati, beban hidup, serta beban lateral gempa dari kolom utama ke lapisan tanah pendukung. Salah satu jenis fondasi dangkal yang paling sering digunakan dalam dunia konstruksi di Indonesia adalah fondasi telapak, yang di lapangan akrab dikenal dengan sebutan fondasi "cakar ayam" atau footing . Penyusunan modul daftar material dan dimensi fondasi telapak tidak boleh dilakukan secara sembarangan. Kontraktor pelaksana wajib memahami klasifikasi dan fungsi masing-masing jenis fondasi telapak agar tidak terjadi kegagalan struktur: Fondasi Telapak Terisolasi (Isolated Footing): Fondasi tunggal yang menyangga satu kolom struktural. Jenis ini paling ekonomis dan efisien untuk jarak kolom yang seragam pada kondisi tanah yang stabil. Fondasi Telapak Gabungan (Combined Footing): Satu pelat fondasi besar yang menyangga dua atau lebih kolom sekaligus. Diaplikasikan apabila jarak antar kolom terlalu dekat sehingga area fondasi saling tumpang tindih, atau saat kolom berada tepat di batas tanah milik orang lain ( property line ). Fondasi Telapak Lereng / Trapesium (Sloped Footing): Fondasi dengan ketebalan yang mengecil ke arah luar. Desain ini sangat efektif untuk menghemat volume beton tanpa mengurangi kekuatan dalam menahan gaya geser di dekat kolom. Di daerah dengan potensi kegempaan yang aktif serta variasi karakteristik tanah seperti di Provinsi Bali, ketepatan pemilihan jenis dan dimensi fondasi telapak menjadi kunci utama bangunan dapat berdiri tegak selama puluhan tahun. Artikel ini menyajikan panduan rekayasa komprehensif bagi para profesional untuk mengoptimalkan desain fondasi telapak sesuai regulasi nasional. 2. Landasan Regulasi dan Formulasi Matematis Rekayasa Struktur Perencanaan fondasi telapak yang aman wajib merujuk secara ketat pada regulasi SNI 2847:2019 (Persyaratan Beton Struktural untuk Bangunan Gedung) dan SNI 8460:2017 (Persyaratan Perancangan Geoteknik). 2.1 Perhitungan Luas Minimum Fondasi (Pelat Telapak) Luas dasar fondasi ($A_{perlu}$) dihitung berdasarkan kombinasi beban aksial layan total ($P_{layan}$) dibagi dengan daya dukung izin tanah ($q_{ijin}$) yang diperoleh dari hasil uji sondir (CPT) atau Standard Penetration Test (SPT): $$A_{perlu} = B \times L = \frac{P_{layan}}{q_{ijin}}$$ Jika tanah dasar cenderung lunak, lebar fondasi ($B$) wajib diperbesar secara linear untuk memperluas area distribusi tegangan guna mencegah penurunan bangunan. 2.2 Rumus Kekuatan Lentur dan Penulangan Pelat Beton Momen lentur ultimat ($M_u$) pada penampang kritis di muka kolom dihitung untuk menentukan kebutuhan luas tulangan baja ($A_s$). Persamaan kesetimbangan momen untuk penulangan lentur beton diatur melalui rumus: $$M_u = \phi \cdot A_s \cdot f_y \cdot \left( d - \frac{a}{2} \right)$$ Dimana: $\phi$ = Faktor reduksi kekuatan untuk lentur ($\phi = 0.90$) $f_y$ = Tegangan leleh baja tulangan (MPa) $d$ = Jarak dari serat tekan terluar ke pusat tulangan tarik (mm) $a$ = Tinggi blok tegangan tekan beton persegi ekivalen (mm), dihitung melalui $a = \frac{A_s \cdot f_y}{0.85 \cdot f'_c \cdot B}$ Diagram Alir Pelaksanaan Konstruksi Fondasi Telapak di Lapangan [Galian Tanah Sesuai Elevasi Design & Dewatering jika Berair] │ ▼ [Urugan Pasir Padat (10cm) & Pengecoran Pelat Kerja/Lean Concrete (5cm)] │ ▼ [Pemasangan Rangka Baja Tulangan Utama & Pembesian Kolom/Pedestal] │ ▼ [Pengecoran Beton Struktural Mutu Minimal K-250 / f'c = 21 MPa Monolitik] 3. Studi Kasus Empiris: Proyek Kompleks Komersial di Kawasan Sanur, Bali Sebagai referensi riil pelaksanaan di lapangan, dilakukan audit dan optimalisasi desain struktur bawah pada proyek pembangunan ruko dan pusat kuliner setinggi 3 lantai di kawasan Sanur, Gianyar, Bali. Hasil pengujian tanah menunjukkan bahwa subgrade dominan berupa pasir berlanau dengan nilai kapasitas dukung izin tanah sebesar $q_{ijin} = 175 \text{ kPa}$ pada kedalaman $-1.5 \text{ meter}$. Desain awal dari tim perencana konvensional menetapkan fondasi telapak terisolasi berbentuk flat persegi merata dengan dimensi $2.0 \text{ m} \times 2.0 \text{ m}$ dan tebal konstan $500 \text{ mm}$. Menggunakan pendekatan optimasi mekanika geser, tim engineer merevisi komponen struktur tersebut menjadi fondasi tipe trapesium ( sloped footing ). Dimensi dasar dipertahankan pada ukuran $2.0 \text{ m} \times 2.0 \text{ m}$ untuk menjaga batas kapasitas dukung tanah, namun ketebalan beton diubah menjadi adaptif: setebal $550 \text{ mm}$ pada area tumpuan kolom (pusat tegangan geser pons) dan melandai hingga mencapai tebal minimum $250 \text{ mm}$ di ujung luar fondasi.

Kesimpulan Pemahaman yang mendalam mengenai pengertian, fungsi, dan klasifikasi jenis-jenis fondasi telapak merupakan modal wajib bagi kontraktor profesional untuk mewujudkan konstruksi yang kokoh dan efisien. Penerapan perhitungan matematis yang tepat terhadap parameter gaya geser pons dan momen eksentrisitas tidak hanya menjamin kestabilan mekanis bangunan bertingkat, tetapi juga memberikan keunggulan kompetitif dari sisi efisiensi manajemen pembiayaan proyek.
