Design method of piled-raft foundations under vertical load considering interaction effects

TLDR
In this article, the authors proposed a design method considering interaction effects for a piled raft foundation, where the raft is considered as a plate supported by a group of piles and soil, and the ultimate load capacity of the pile group is taken into account in calculating the settlement when the foundation is subjected to a large vertical external load.

Influence of Foundation Type on Seismic Performance of Buildings Considering Soil–Structure Interaction

TL;DR: In this article, a 3D numerical model of a 15-storey full-scale (prototype) structure was simulated with four different types of foundations: (i) a fixed-based structure that excludes the soil-structure interaction (SSI), (ii) a structure supported by a shallow foundation, (iii) a structural support supported by the pile-raft foundation in soft soil and (iv) a floating (frictiona...

The effects of foundation size on the seismic performance of buildings considering the soil-foundation-structure interaction

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of shallow foundations on the seismic response of a mid-rise moment resisting building is investigated using ABAQUS software, where a fifteen-storey moment resisting frame sitting on shallow footings with different sizes was simulated numerically using a nonlinear time history dynamic analysis.

Parametric study for optimal design of large piled raft foundations on sand

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a framework for considering an economical design methodology in which piles are placed more densely beneath the column positions when the piled raft is subjected to column loads. But this increase does not satisfy the requirement for economical design.

Pile Foundation Analysis and Design

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a consistent theoretical approach to the prediction of pile deformation and load capacity, and present parametric solutions for a wide range of cases, demonstrating how such solutions can be used for design purposes, and review the applicability of these approaches to practical problems.

Piled raft foundations: design and applications

Harry G. Poulos
- 01 Mar 2001 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the philosophy of using piles as settlement reducers and the conditions under which such an approach may be successful and some of the characteristics of piled raft behavior are described.

Pile behaviour - theory and application

Harry G. Poulos
- 01 Sep 1989 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a classification system is suggested for pile analysis and design procedures, based on the rigour of the underlying theory, and a number of the analyses in use have a common underlying theoretical basis founded on the boundary element method.
