Abstract

         This research studied the simulation of foundation pile driving and tested foundation piles by Finite Element Method based on the Plaxis 2D program. From the study of pile driving simulation by Finite Element Method, the vertical force for pile driving was considered to be aerodynamic. The value of pile driving frequency multiplier and vibration waves, harmonic signal was set to be 2500 amplitude, phase 0o, frequency equaling 50 Hertz. Also, the horizontal pile test simulation considered the force to be static. The simulation results were as follows. The maximum force by Finite Element Method was 1.68 tons.  The field maximum force was 1.56 tons.  The maximum horizontal movement was equal to 4.00 mm. The safety ratio value from the simulation by Finite Element Method was 2.71 higher than the safety ratio from field testing, which was 2.60
