This paper describes the possibility of the raft thickness reduction for mega foundations system of super high-rise buildings through a case study on domestic and foreign super high-rise buildings. In case of super high-rise buildings, the size of foundations, especially raft becomes wider and deeper because of heavy upper load. It is difficult to pour concrete of this kind of mega foundation, and cracks by hydration heat could happen. Therefore, there are several ways to reduce the raft thickness of mega foundations. Piled-raft could be the one because moment and shear load that the raft subjects on by soil reaction are lower. The effect of the piled-raft foundation on the raft thickness reduction could be confirmed by comparison of super high-rise buildings with pile, piled-raft and mat foundation. Furthermore, it was showed that the raft thickness could be more reduced by locating piles right under the vertical members of super structures.

Foundation plays a significant role in safe and efficient turbo machinery operation. Turbo machineries generate harmonic load on the foundation due to their high speed rotating motion which causes vibration in the machinery, foundation and soil beneath the foundation. The problems caused by vibration get multiplied if the soil is poor. An improperly designed machine foundation increases the vibration and reduces machinery health leading to frequent maintenance. Hence it is very important to study the soil structure interaction and effect of machine vibration on the foundation during turbo machinery operation in the design stage itself. The present work studies the effect of harmonic load due to machine operation along with earthquake loading on the frame foundation for poor soil conditions. Various alternative foundations like rafts, barrette, batter pile and combinations of barrettes with batter pile are analyzed to study the improvements in the vibration patterns. Detailed computational analysis was carried out in SAP 2000 software; the numerical model was analyzed and compared with the shaking table experiment results. The numerical results are found to be closely matching with the experimental data which confirms the accuracy of the numerical model predictions. Both shake table and SAP 2000 results reveal that combination of barrette and batter piles with raft are best suitable for poor soil conditions because it reduces the displacement at top deck, bending moment and horizontal displacement of pile and thereby making the foundation more stable under seismic loading.

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.

최근 사용이 증대되고 있는 말뚝지지 전면기초(piled raft foundation) 개념의 기초 설계에서는 지지력을 증대시키기 위한 목적 보다는 주로 침하를 감소시킬 목적으로 말뚝이 사용된다. 콘크리트궤도가 연약한 지반에 설치되는 경우에는 일반적으로 지지력 측면에서의 문제는 없으나, 과도한 침하가 발생할 수 있다. 이 경우 소수의 소구경 말뚝을 궤도하부에 적절히 배치하여 설치하면 침하를 효과적으로 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 예측된다. 본 논문에서는 말뚝 설치로 인한 콘크리트궤도의 침하감소 효과를 수치해석을 통해 평가하였다. 3차원 유한차분해석법을 이용하여 말뚝이 설치된 콘크리트궤도를 모델링 하였으며, 지반 강성과 말뚝 배치의 변화에 따른 침하량 감소 효과의 차이를 분석하였다. 해석 결과로 부터 말뚝설치를 통해 콘크리트궤도의 침하를 효과적으로 감소시킬 수 있는 것을 확인하였으며, 경제적인 설계를 위한 지반조건에 따른 합리적인 말뚝 열수와 간격을 제시하였다. 또한, 지반 조건과 말뚝 배치의 변화에 따른 말뚝의 하중분담 특성을 분석함으로써, 콘크리트궤도 하부에 설치된 말뚝의 지지 메커니즘을 파악하였다.

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.

In the design of a foundation, settlement of the foundation may exceed allowable design criteria even with a competent bearing stratum. In such a case, a piled-raft foundation system may be adopted using piles as settlement reducing component. In this paper, Disconnected Piled Raft Foundation (DPRF) system, which installs disconnected piles underneath the raft and uses the piles as ground reinforcements, is studied as a cost effective design method against the classical piled-raft foundation system. To this end, large size loading tests were carried out on weathered ground changing area replacement ratio and length of piles. The results indicated that the settlement of the reinforced ground was reduced by 34~87% and the allowable bearing pressure increased by 70% on average from those of the unreinforced original ground, respectively. The correlating formula between the area replacement ratio and the load bearing ratio of piles were derived from the test results and numerical analysis. From the correlation, a design method determining the size and the quantity of the disconnected piles to enhance the bearing capacity of original ground to the desired value was proposed based on one inch settlement criteria.

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.

Settlement of the piled raft can be estimated even after years of completing the construction of any structure over the foundation. This study is devoted to carry out numerical analysis by the finite element method of the consolidation settlement of piled rafts over clayey soils and detecting the dissipation of excess pore water pressure and its effect on bearing capacity of piled raft foundations. The ABAQUS computer program is used as a finite element tool and the soil is represented by the modified Drucker-Prager/cap model. Five different configurations of pile groups are simulated in the finite element analysis. It was found that the settlement beneath the piled raft foundation resulted from the dissipation of excess pore water pressure considerably affects the final settlement of the foundation, and enough attention should be paid to settlement variation with time. The settlement behavior of unpiled raft shows bowl shaped settlement profile with maximum at the center. The degree of curvature of the raft under vertical load increases with the decrease of the raft thickness. For the same vertical load, the differential settlement of raft of ($10{\times}10m$) size decreases by more than 90% when the raft thickness increased from 0.75 m to 1.5 m. The average load carried by piles depends on the number of piles in the group. The groups of ($2{\times}1$, $3{\times}1$, $2{\times}2$, $3{\times}2$, and $3{\times}3$) piles were found to carry about 24%, 32%, 42%, 58%, and 79% of the total vertical load. The distribution of load between piles becomes more uniform with the increase of raft thickness.
