Shallow foundation and slab on ground that were built on soft clays might have some settlement because of the low bearing capacity. If the settlement that happened was a differential settlement, it can cause damage to the structure. There are many ways to fix the soil by improving the bearing capacity such as using wood pile. Wood pile is often used because it was easy to find, easy to use, and cheaper than using the pile made of concrete. There are many types of wood that can be used, for example dolken wood, mangrove, and bamboo. Those type of woods have different specification that effected the wood strength as a pile to improve the soil bearing capacity. The diameter and length of the wood also influence the pile effectiveness. All this factor can give a different result in reducing the settlement that happened on the soil.
