CHICKEN CLAW FOUNDATION SYSTEM

In 1961, Prof. Dr. Ir. Sedijatmo found the Chicken Claw Foundation system as an
alternative solution to the problem of soil under a foundation that is too soft. Since then, the
use of the Chicken Claw Foundation has expanded, both as the foundation for airplane runways
and as the foundation for high-rise buildings.

The role of the foundation also determines the age and stability of a building
construction. In the last decade the foundation system has developed in various variations. But
few have featured a foundation system to overcome the problem of constructing construction
on soft soil.

Conventional foundation systems, tend to only be adjusted to the magnitude of the load
that must be supported, but does not consider soft soil conditions. As a result, the building
experiences shrinkage or instability, such as slumping, leaning, and even collapsing. This is
certainly detrimental to the owner and contractor concerned.

A balanced treatment between load and soft soil conditions needs to be solved. This
problem has been faced by Prof. Dr. Ir. Sedijatmo in 1961, when as a PLN official he had to
build 7 high-voltage electricity towers in the Ancol swamp area of Jakarta. With great
difficulty, 2 towers were successfully erected using a conventional foundation system, while
the remaining 5 are still abandoned. This tower is to distribute electricity and the power plant
in Tanjung Priok to the Senayan Sports Center where the 1962 Asian Games sports party will
be held.

Because the time is very urgent, while the conventional foundation system is very
difficult to apply in the swamps, then a new system is sought to overcome this problem. The
idea of Ir. Sedijatmo to build a tower on a foundation consisting of a concrete slab supported
by concrete pipes underneath. The pipe and plate are monolithically attached (united), and grip
the soft ground firmly.

By Sedijatmo, his findings were named the chicken claw foundation system. The
calculations used at that time (1961), were still rough with dimensions 2.5 times larger than the
current chicken claw foundation system. Even so, it turns out to be cheaper and faster than
using ordinary piles.

Foundation system has depeloved in various variations but few have featured to overcome the
problem of constructing.

Paragraf 3 : Conventional foundation system has caused shrinkage or instability that

destrimental to the pwner and contractor.
