Liquefaction can lead to structural failure as it reduces the bearing capacity of building foundations. This phenomenon occurs in saturated sandy soils where pore water pressure increases, significantly decreasing effective soil stress. Evaluating the axial and lateral bearing capacity of bored piles affected by liquefaction is crucial to ensure the stability and performance of foundation systems. This study focuses on assessing the capabilities of bored piles in the Governor’s Office of Sulawesi Barat Province, which are influenced by liquefaction phenomena. The empirical approach applied the O’Neill and Reese 1989 method, while the numerical approach used RS Pile. The calculation results revealed decreased axial bearing capacity under liquefaction conditions. In non-liquefaction, PC.4 can withstand up to 24946 kN, with displacements of 0.94 cm (x), 0.39 cm (y), and 1.12 cm in settlement. In liquefaction, it decreases to 2876.78 kN, with displacements of 1.32 cm (x), 0.86 cm (y), and 1.68 cm in settlement. In non-liquefaction, PC.3 can withstand up to 17407.93 kN with displacements of 0.02 cm (x), 0.04 cm (y), and 0.06 cm in settlement. In liquefaction, it decreases to 1713.05 kN, with displacements of 0.02 cm (x), 0.05 cm (y), and 0.07 cm in settlement.
