Comparative Analysis of Kazakhstani and European Design Specifications: Raft Foundation, Pile Foundation, and Piled Raft Foundation

The introduction of Eurocode in Kazakhstan allows for the application modern technological innovations and elimination technical barriers realization international projects. It is significant to study standards design requirements provided Eurocode. This presents a comparative analysis Kazakhstani European approaches geotechnical foundations provides methods considered codes practice. Three different types (i.e., raft, pile, piled raft foundations) were designed following SP RK 5.01-102-2013—Foundations buildings structures, 5.01-103-2013—Pile foundations, 7: Geotechnical Nur-Sultan soil profile. For all three calculated results bearing resistance elastic settlement showed conservativeness over SNiP-based building regulations, as values adhering code exceeded values. difference between obtained can be explained by higher partial safety factors 7. Sensitivity on foundation parameters width pile length) was performed support conclusions study.
