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...

The present paper aims to investigate the effects of defective piles in horizontally loaded piled raft foundations. Close real scale foundation models and intact three-piled systems were submitted horizontal load tests. used bored type drilled with 5 m length 0.25 diameter, connected a concrete founded on tropical soil profile at University Campinas research site. Based experimental data, three...

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) ...
