In the projects of buildings and structures, in last two to twenty-five years, world practice, so-called combined pile raft foundation (CPRF) is increasingly used, for which, design calculations, it assumed that calculated load from building distributed between piles raft, allowing up 50% inclusion work (resistance) raft. As part scientific technical support [1-8] construction object, instrumen...

Wind turbine structures can be susceptible to damage from earthquake loading due large overturning moments at the foundation level. As wind energy market expands seismically active parts of world, it becomes important evaluate seismic behaviour these structures. Especially, earthquake-induced liquefaction when farms are located on sites with marginal soil conditions such as loose, saturated san...

Stone columns consist of granular material compacted in long cylindrical holes. They are used for improving the strength and consolidation characteristics compressible soils. However, they still less effective at supporting heavy loads, since cannot transfer applied stresses to deeper layers soil. The main objective this numerical study was investigate geotechnical performance a combined founda...
