The study deals with physical modeling of a typical building frame resting on pile raft foundation and embedded in cohesive soil mass using finite element based software ETABS. Both- the elements of superstructure and substructure (i.e., foundation) including soil is assumed to remain in elastic state at all the time. The raft is modelled as a thin plate and the pile and soils are treated as interactive springs. Both- the resistance of the piles as well as that of raft base - are incorporated into the model. Interactions between raft-soil-pile are computed. The proposed method makes it possible to solve the problems of uniformly and large non-uniformly arranged piled rafts in a time saving way using finite element based software ETABS. The effect of the various parameters of the pile raft foundation such as thickness of raft and pile diameter is evaluated on the response of superstructure. The response included the displacement at the top of the frame and bending moment in columns. The soil-structure interaction effect is found to increase displacement and increase the absolute maximum positive and negative moments. The effect of the soil- structure interaction is observed to be significant for the type of foundation and soil considered in the present study.

In this study, an approximate computer-based method was developed to analyze the behavior of raft and piled raft foundations. Special attention is given to the improved analytical method proposed by considering raft flexibility and soil nonlinearity. The overall objective of this study is to focus on the application of a simplified analysis method for predicting the behavior of sub-structures. Through the comparative studies, it is found that the computer programs (YS-MAT and YSPR), developed in this study, is in agreement with the general trends observed by field measurements. Therefore, YS-MAT (Yonsei-Mat) and YSPR (Yonsei Piled Raft) can be effectively used for the preliminary design of a raft or a piled raft foundation for high-rise buildings.

This paper describes a new optimum design approach for piled raft foundations using the genetic algorithm. The objective function considered is the cost-based total weight of raft and piles. The genetic algorithm is a search or optimization technique based on nature selection. Successive generation evolves more fit individuals on the basis of the Darwinism survival of the fittest. In formulating the genetic algorithm-based optimum design procedure, the analysis of piled raft foundations is peformed based on the 'hybrid'approach developed by Clancy(1993), and also the simple genetic algorithm proposed by the Goldberg(1989) is used. To evaluate a validity of the optimum design procedure proposed based on the genetic algorithm, comparisons regarding optimal pile placement for minimizing differential settlements by Kim et at.(1999) are made. In addition using proposed design procedure, design examples are presented.

본 연구에서는 사질지반에서 말뚝전면기초와 전면기초와의 거동을 유한요소해석을 이용하여 비교하였다. 25개의 시추공의 표준관입시험의 결과를 이용하여 구한 토질정수를 유한요소해석에 사용하였다. 말뚝을 사용하지 않은 전면기초의 경우 $8m{\times}8m$ and $15m{\times}15m$의 크기의 정규화된 침하계수는 각각 1.02~1.15 and 0.64~0.81의 범위로 나타났다. 전면기초의 두께는 부등침하와 휨모멘트에 영향을 미치고 하중분담과 최대침하에는 큰 영향이 없었다. 말뚝의 간격은 최대침하와 부등침하, 휨모멘트에, 말뚝의 하중분담에 영향을 받고 반면에 부등침하와 휨모멘트는 말뚝의 길이에는 큰 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 연약지반 상에 Piled Raft 기초의 지지력 특성과 침하 및 말뚝의 거동 특성을 분석하기 위해 수치해석을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 단말뚝에서 군말뚝으로 갈수록 선단지지력 증가율이 증가하여 군말뚝의 효과를 입증할 수 있었다. Piled Raft의 중앙에 위치한 말뚝의 하중이 다른 곳에 위치하고 있는 말뚝의 하중보다 큰 값을 나타내며, 말뚝수량이 증가함에 따라 하중의 증가가 크게 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 이는 선단지지력과 마찰단면적의 증가의 영향으로 보인다. 또한 말뚝의 항복하중 이후의 하중지지가 말뚝에서 Raft로 전이되는 것으로 나타났으며, 말뚝의 항복 후에도 Raft가 하중을 추가적으로 지지할 수 있는 것으로 판단되었다. 말뚝의 근입깊이에 따른 횡방향 변위를 분석해 본 결과 단일 말뚝일 경우 횡방향 변위가 없었으며, 군말뚝일 경우 근입깊이가 깊어질수록 횡방향 변위는 크게 일어남을 확인할 수 있었다.

Bending moments in the raft of a pile raft system is affected by pile-pile interaction and pile-raft interaction, amongst other factors. Three-Dimensional finite element program has to be used to evaluate these bending moments. Winkler type analysis is easy to use but it however ignores these interactions. This paper proposes a very simplified and novel method for finding bending moments in raft of a piled raft based on Winkler type where raft is supported on bed of springs considering pile-pile and pile-raft interaction entitled as "Winkler model for piled raft (WMPR)" The pile and raft spring stiffness are based on load share between pile and raft and average pile raft settlement proposed by Randolph (1994). To verify the results of WMPR, raft bending moments are compared with those obtained from PLAXIS 3D software. A total of sixty analysis have Performed varying different parameters. It is found that raft bending moments obtained from WMPR closely match with bending moments obtained from PLAXIS 3D. A comparison of bending moments ignoring any interaction in Winkler model is also made with PLAXIS-3D, which results in large difference of bending moments. Finally, bending moment results from eight different methods are compared with WMPR for a case study. The WMPR, though, a simple method yielded comparable raft bending moments with the most accurate analysis.

Paper presents an improved solution algorithm based on Finite Element Method to analyse piled raft foundation. Piles are modelled as beam elements with soil springs. Finite element analysis of raft is based on the classical theory of thick plates resting on Winkler foundation that accounts for the transverse shear deformation of the plate. Four node, isoparametric rectangular elements with three degrees of freedom per node are considered in the development of finite element formulation. Independent bilinear shape functions are assumed for displacement and rotational degrees of freedom. Effect of raft thickness, soil modulus and load pattern on the response is considered. Significant improvement in the settlements and moments in the raft is observed.

서 김해평야에 위치하는 연장 2km의 철도제방은 정규압밀점토인 연약지반 상에 건설되었다. 연직 배수재를 타입하고 단계시공으로 1단계의 시공을 한 직후에 제방은 종방향 균열이 생겨 원호활동의 징조가 나타났다. 이 단계에서 piled raft로 설계변경하고 제방을 완공하였다. 여러 측점에 다양한 계측기를 설치하여 제방 시공 중 piled raft의 거동을 관찰하였다. 이 결과를 정리하여 piled raft 기초의 안전성을 분석한 결과를 이 논문에 기술하였다. 말뚝 무리가 마찰말뚝으로 작용할 때에는 piled raft 기초는 정규압밀점토에서도 안전하고 경제적인 설계가 될 수 있다는 것을 계측결과로 부터 알게 되었다.

Granular compaction piled raft systems have been effectively used in soft ground foundation to improve not only settlement but also bearing capacity. In the present study, to examine the behavior characteristics and bulging failure zone on granular compaction piled raft system, carbon rod tests have been performed. The test results are compared with the zone of bulging failure and the effects of pile-pile interaction obtained from the analytical approaches. In addition, parametric studies are peformed with considering pile slenderness ratio, Poisson's ratio and load sharing ratio.

This paper introduces detailed three-dimensional numerical analyses on a bored pile foundation for a high-rise building. A static load test was performed on a test pile and a numerical model of a single pile, which was calibrated by comparing it with the test result. The detailed numerical analysis was then conducted on the entire high-rise building foundation. Further study focused on soil pressures under the base slab of a piled raft foundation. Total seven cases with different pile numbers and raft-soil contact conditions were investigated. The design criteria of a foundation, especially settlement requirement were satisfied even for the cases with fewer piles under considerable soil pressure beneath the base slab. The bending moment for the structural design of the base slab was reduced by incorporating soil pressures beneath the base slab along with bored piles. Through the comparative studies, it was found that a more efficient design can be achieved by considering the soil pressure beneath the slab.
