The general design practice for piled footings is based on the assumption that the piles are free-standing, and that all the external loads are carried by the piles, with any contribution of the footing being ignored. This approach is not reasonable, because the footing itself is actually in direct contact with the soil, and thus carries a significant fraction of the loads. In the case of not considering the bearing capacity of footing, the bearing capacity of group piles can be evaluated conservatively in the designing the group piles. There are a number of reasons why the idea of piled raft design with considering the capacity of footing has not become widely used. One of the reasons is the lack of reliable calculation methods for estimating the behavior of piled raft. In this study the bearing capacity, settlement, load distribution, etc. of piled raft footing are studied.

In this study, the large scale model tests were executed to estimate the Load Sharing Ratio(LSR) of raft in a piled footing under various conditions. The conditions such as the subsoil type, pile length, pile spacing, array type and pile installation method etc. were varied in the pile loading tests about the free-standing group piles and a piled footing. As the results of this study, it was found that there were no differences of the load-settlement curves, along with the pile installation method and subsoil type. The piles supported most of the external load until a yielding load of the piled footing, but the raft supported a considerable load after a yielding load. And it was also found that the LSR didn't be affected by the pile installation method and the subsoil type. As the relative density of sands increased, the LSR decreased. As the pile spacing was wider and the pile length increased, there was a tendancy for the LSR to increase.

Piled raft foundation has become widely used in the recent years because it can increase bearing capacity of foundation with control settlement. The design for a piled raft in terms vertical load and lateral load need to understands contribution load behavior to raft and pile in piled raft foundation system. The load-bearing behavior of the piled raft, especially concerning lateral loads, is highly complex and challenge to analyze. The complex mechanism of piled rafts can be clarified by using three dimensional (3-D) Finite Element Method (FEM). Therefore, this paper focuses on free-standing head pile group, on-ground piled raft, and embedded raft for the piled raft foundation systems. The lateral resistant of piled raft foundation was investigated in terms of relationship between vertical load, lateral load and displacement, as well as the lateral load sharing of the raft. The results show that both vertical load and raft position significantly impact the lateral load capacity of the piled raft, especially when the vertical load increases and the raft embeds into the soil. On the same condition of vertical settlement and lateral displacement, piled raft experiences a substantial demonstrates a higher capacity for lateral load sharing compared to the on-ground raft. Ultimately, regarding design considerations, the piled raft can reliably support lateral loads while exhibiting behavior within the elastic range, in which it is safe to use.

In this paper the model tests have been conducted and the results are compared with those by the theoretical methods to study the behaviors of the piled raft. The size of model box is 2.2m${\times}$2m${\times}$2m. The raft is made of rigid steel plate and piles made of steel pipes. Generally the bearing capacity of group piles is designed with only the pile capacities, and the bearing capacity of raft is ignored. But the uncertainty of pile-raft-soil interaction leads to conservative design ignoring the bearing effects of raft. In the case of considering the bearing capacity of raft, the simple sum of bearing capacity of raft and that of each pile cannot be the bearing capacity of piled raft. Because the pile-raft-soil interaction affects the behavior of piled raft. Thus the effects of pile-raft-soil interaction are very important in the optimal design. In this paper, the behaviors of piled raft are studied through model tests of 2${\times}$2, 2${\times}$3, and 3${\times}$3 pile groups. The spacing between piles is changed in the model tests. And the behaviors of free standing and piled raft are also studied.

본 연구에서는 말뚝지지 전면기초에 대한 대규모 모형실험을 실시하여 여러 가지 조건에 따른 하중분담률을 측정하였다. 모형실험은 동일한 조건하에서 비접촉 무리말뚝과 말뚝지지 전면기초 두가지 상태로 실시되었고, 지반의 상대밀도와 종류, 말뚝길이, 간격, 배열상태와 말뚝관입방법 등의 조건들을 변화시켜 실험을 실시하였다. 모형실험 결과, 말뚝관입방법과 지반 종류에 따른 하중-침하 곡선은 큰 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다 재하하중이 작은 경우에는 대부분의 하중을 말뚝들이 부담하지만, 하중이 커지면 래프트도 상당한 하중을 분담하는 것으로 나타났다. 모래지반의 상대밀도가 높을수록 말뚝지지 전면기초의 하중분담률은 감소하는 경향을 나타내며, 말뚝간격이 넓어지고, 말뚝길이가 길어질수록 하중분담률은 증가하는 경향을 나타냈다. 그러나 말뚝관입방법과 하부 지반의 종류는 말뚝지지 전면기초의 하중분담률에 큰 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 평가되었다.
