Abstract |
|
Piled raft is a geotechnical composite construction consisting of three elements raft, piles and soil. Addition of piles in raft strategically improves ultimate load carrying capacity, decreases overall and differential settlement .The design of piled raft is complicated due to complex interaction between rafts, pile and soil. In recent years due to advent of multistory buildings there has been a significant rise in usage of piled raft in India. This paper presents a simplified method for analysis of piled raft with use of software SAFE considering all the interactions. In the scope of this paper, the design procedure for piled rafts is discussed and results are verified with that available from literature. |
