Number of skyscrapers are high in recent years Proper foundation is adequate Piled raft foundation is economical Bearing capacity of both pile and raft utilized
FOUNDATION
Shallow foundation -strip footing strip -spread footing -cantilever footing cantilever -raft footing Deep footing -piers i -caissons -piles il

RAFT FOUNDATION
(source: commons.wikimedia.org )
Large concrete slab g Supports column of entire structure Differential settlement compensated by rigidity of raft p y g y Depth of footing < 1m

PILE FOUNDATION
Vertical or slightly inclined members Transmit load of superstructure to lower depth Load transfer1)skin friction 2)end bearing

SKIN FRICTION
FOUNDATION ALTERNATIVES
UNFAVOURABLE
soil profile with 1) soft clay and loose sand 2) soft compressible layers at shallow depth

NO. OF PILES
As no. of piles increases: -maximum settlement decreases -load carried increases Upper limit exist
13
TYPE OF LOADING
Maximum settlement and maximum bending moment in i concentrated loading > M i t t d l di Maximum settlement and ttl t d maximum bending moment in uniform loading

PILE CONFIGURATION
Depends on: load distribution No: of piles Length of pile Concentric arrangement of pile with respect to centre give good performance

reduction in the number or length of piles reduction of maximum and differential settlements reduces the internal stress and bending moment in raft d h i l d b di i f improvement of bearing capacity of raft reduction in the heave inside and outside the pit during excavation educ o e e ve s de d ou s de e p du g e c v o work

CONCLUSION
The piled raft foundation is extensively applied in last two d d t decades. The piled raft is applied not only to control the foundation settlement but also to minimise the required raft thickness to reach the most economic foundation design.
