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...

This paper presents the results of element testing and centrifuge modelling to investigate behaviour piled foundations in swelling clays. The study revealed that preparation procedure implemented, was able retain key hydromechanical properties when compared with undisturbed specimens. Furthermore, method utilised create an artificially ‘fissured’ fabric allowed for significant swell magnitudes ...

the pile-raft foundation is a combination of a raft foundation with piles. pile-raft foundation has been widely designed, assuming all structure loads to be transferred to piles without considering contribution of the load taken by contact surface between raft and soil. methods of analysis currently used in practice are based upon relatively conservative assumptions of soil behavior or on the l...

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) ...

There is a growing demand for multi-story buildings residence and commercial purposes in coastal areas of Sindh, Pakistan. Such types soils are generally considered more compressible with high groundwater levels, which may cause lower shear strength higher settlement. The computation the settlement foundations requires use advanced constitutive models, not commonly used due to lack field or exp...
