摘要：Engineering geological aspect and bearing capacity of pile foundation are significant for safety of upper structure, especially for substantial constructions such as a docking ship. Moreover, it provides effectiveness and cost efficiency when applies in rural areas of Indonesia. This is due to lack of docking ship appropriately built at rural areas particularly in eastern areas of Indonesia. Karim island of Papua even though is a small island yet is very strategic as Pertamina place its transitory function on that island connecting its oil supply route to Sorong. Appropriate docking ship construction is required to aim the effective and efficient port management. Choosing the most suitable structure for a docking is also the key. Graving dock structure has been chosen by Pertamina as the most appropriate type of structure for the docking ship in Karim Island. The structure of graving dock planned to be built in Karim island Papua, is projected to be able to serve the maximum 7500 DWT ship capacity, with approximately dimension is 125 x 25 x 8 meters. Therefore, to support the plan, type and design of the best foundation is the key. There are two methods could be done in determining the type and bearing capacity foundation. Field and laboratory test applied ASTM, field observation result by applying Meyerhoff theory and laboratorial analysis derived from Tarzaghi theory. Those observation and analysis has confirmed that the soil layer at the graving dock design consists of three layers, those are; cover layer, silt-clay layer and clay rock unit. Therefore, the most suitable foundation to be constructed in that area is a pile massive foundation, with depth of pile foundation approximately -20 m below the land surface, and the ultimate point load pile massive for 30x30 cm – 75x75 cm dimension approximately 79.76 – 406.25 ton, and frictional resistance value approximately 24.59 – 61.48 ton.
