In the last few decades, it has been observed that raft foundations are very commonly used as a foundation solution for moderate to high rise structures either by resting on stone columns or piles in soft soils. It is believed that, combining and one system more suitable medium structures. The combined provides superior economical alternative pile, attractive respect ground improvement. This pa...

Abstract Until recently, the behavior of connected piled raft foundation was not fully understood in seismically active region due to complex dynamic soil–pile–foundation structure interaction. This concern arises when soil deposit-supported foundations are stratified or heterogynous and subjected high ground motion intensity. In current study, a series numerical analyses using ABAQUS software ...

In deep foundations, the pile group and raft are generally used. To date, contribution of is not taken into account in design, even when contact with soil whole system therefore considered to work as a foundation. combined system, takes considerable portion applied load, depending upon number piles, spacing diameter ratio length ratio. this paper, an experimental investigation carried out study...
