CHICKEN CLAW FOUNDATION SYSTEM

In 1961, prof. Dr. Ir. Sedijatmo found the chicken claw foundation system. Since
then, the use of the chicken claw foundation has expanded. It was built for high-rise buildings
such as for aiplane runways.

The role of the foundation has affected to a building construction. Foundation system
has depeloved in various variations in the last decade but few have featured to overcome the
problem of constructing construction on soft soil.

Conventional foundation system has caused shrinkage or instability that destrimental

to the owner and contractor. when as a PLN official had to build 7 high voltage electricity
towers in a swamp area of jakarta Prof. Dr. Ir Sedijatmo has solved the problem. With great
difficulty, 2 towers were succesfully erected using a conventional foundation. This tower is to
distribute electricity and the power in for the Senayan Sport Center for the Asian Games
Sport party.

The idea of Ir. Sedijatmo to build a tower on a foundation consisting of a concrete

slab supported by concrete pipes underneath is a new system to overcome the problem of
building in the swamps. By Sedijatmo, his findings were named the chicken claw foundation
system. Even so, It turns out to be cheaper and faster than using a conventional foundation.
