Abstract Laboratory tests were carried out on non-piled rafts, single piles, surface contacting and non surface-contacting piled rafts which made of aluminum instrumented with strain gauges deflection gauges. The foundations installed in dry sand contained a large metal tank to minimize boundary effects. Maintained loads applied each foundation until failure was closely approached. In parallel,...

This paper presents the analysis of piled raft for a 50-story building using an approximate method to estimate settlement and load distribution foundation. The pile soils are considered be interacting springs, is represented as thin plate. model takes into account both resistance piles It calculated how raft, soil, interact. suggested technique enables use finite element based program ETABS qui...

Abstract In today’s time, construction is the main key for development of any nation, but land resources are getting deplete. Thus, on compressible soil left as a choice. Stone columns or granular piles (GPs) broadly used to advance bearing capacity crummy ground and lessen displacement constructionserected them. GP most efficient cheap improvement. Analysis single partially strengthened (SPS) ...
