Abstract:
Abstract In the last decade piled raft foundations have been widely used around the world as intermediate foundation systems between piles and rafts to control the settlement of foundations. However, when those piles are structurally connected to rafts, relatively high axial stresses develop in relatively small numbers of piles, which are often designed to fully mobilize their geotechnical capacities. To avoid a concentration of stress at the head of piles in a traditional piled raft foundation, the raft is disconnected from the piles, and a cushion is introduced between them. Also, to tackle an unfavourable soil profile for a piled raft foundation, the conventional piled raft has been modified into a cushioned composite piled raft foundation, where piles of different materials are used. In the current study the behavior of cushioned foundation components, which transfer the load from the structure to the subsoil, are analyzed in detail, i.e., the thickness of the raft, the length of a long pile and the modulus of a flexible pile.

Abstract:
Mini-piles made their debut as a cost-effective way to stabilize the historical structures. Recently, mini-piles have increased in popularity all over the world and are being used for bridges, buildings, slope stability, antenna towers, and residential construction. This paper presents the preparing, executing, data acquisition, and result presentation for an experimental work concerns with five scale-down mini-piled raft foundation models. All models were prepared to study the effectiveness of the mini-piled raft foundation in reducing the settlement and the bending moments. Five tests have been achieved. The reference first test includes a raft foundation with 15mm thickness. Second, third, and fourth tests are mini-piled raft foundations with five mini-piles and with thicknesses of 15 mm, 10 mm, and 8mm respectively. Finally, the fifth test dealt with a single mini-pile 178mm in length and 6mm in diameter. It has been adopted to investigate the reference behavior of the single mini-pile. When they were used, the piles have 42 mm center to center distances. A scale-down factor of , a sandy soil with with of , and relative density of 60% have been considered in all tests. Test results indicated a 45% decrease in settlement for 15mm mini-piled raft foundation comparing with the reference 15mm raft foundation. Moreover, there is no significant difference in settlement between 15mm mini-piled raft foundation comparing with the 10mm and 8mm thick mini-piled raft foundations. Regarding to the bending moments, they decrease at the mid and edge of the 15mm mini-piled raft foundation comparing to those of the reference raft foundation. It has also been noted that the moments are inversely proportional to the thickness of the piled raft foundations. With respect to the mini-piles, it has been found that most of the pile axial loads are transferred to the underneath soil through friction and this friction increases as the raft thickness decreases.

Abstract:
Geotechnical projects typically achieve load transfer to the ground using shallow or deep foundations. The conventional design approach does not provide for the combination of these two types of foundation. The piled raft philosophy allows the association of the soil elements, raft, and piles to obtain technical and economic advantages over conventional design. The city of João Pessoa, in northeastern Brazil, has developed foundation practices with hollow auger piles in piled raft design. The coastal area of the city has topsoil layers with favorable conditions for using such a technique. This paper addresses the results of a research project with instrumented load tests on foundation systems of hollow auger piles and a piled raft. The analysis is based on the load–settlement curve through extrapolation criteria. The Poulos–Davis–Randolph (PDR) method is applied according to a trilinear and hyperbolic approach to simulate the load–settlement curve of piled rafts. The results indicate that the raft absorbs most of the load, and the raft–soil contact significantly increases the load capacity of the foundation. The PDR hyperbolic method could apply to practical use in the foundations of the region, as it allows a more detailed assessment of the behavior of the foundation and can forecast the behavior of the (locally nontraditional) piled raft foundation system.

Abstract:
Disconnected piled raft (DPR) foundations have been widely adopted as an effective foundation system where the piles are separated from the raft by a granular layer, which can limit the shear forces and moments transmitted between the raft and the piles. Thus, DPR foundations may avoid the problem of horizontal forces, such as those from an earthquake or dynamic loads, which damage the structural connection between the pile head and raft. A series of static horizontal loading tests were carried out on three types of foundation models, i.e., piled raft, disconnected piled raft, and raft alone models, on fine sand using a geotechnical model in a 1 g field. In this paper, the influences of vertical loading and interposed layer thickness were presented and discussed. The results showed that most of the horizontal force was carried by raft/interposed layer friction in the DPR foundation type, and the shear force and moment of the piles were greatly reduced due to the gap between the raft and the heads of the piles. The tested foundations were simulated using a simplified method with theoretical equations derived by making several approximations and assumptions. The simulated results agreed well with the test results.

Abstract:
Abstract A common engineering solution for excessive settlement with raft foundation (s) is the use of piles in order to reduce the vertical displacements, in this method, the whole structural load is transferred to the piles. This is an overly cautious approach, and there remains a need to find an optimal design method for a building’s foundations. Such a solution may be the piled raft foundation, which allows a reduction of the number of piles due to the integration of the raft in the bearing capacity of the foundation. The aim of the article is to estimate the contribution of foundation elements such as the raft and the piles in the bearing capacity of a residential building located in Warsaw, where the geological conditions are characterized by organic soil layers, principally of gyttja.

Abstract:
In order to investigate the influence of the defective piles with stem shrinkage on the working behavior of pile foundations under vertical loadings, a numerical model was set up for the analysis of pile foundations. A series of contrastive analyses were made to a group piled foundations including a pile with defect of stem shrinkage in a shallow or a deeper depth and a pile foundation with normal piles with a three dimensional nonlinear finite-infinite element method. The basic working behavior of the pile foundation with a defective pile of stem shrinkage was initially revealed by the results of the analyses; and the basic rules of the affects of pile stem shrinkage defect on the distribution of axial forces among piles and the bending moments in pile caps were obtained. The results of this research are not only helpful for the understanding and rational judgment of the working mechanism, but also of practical importance in the assessment of the bearing behavior of pile foundations including defective piles with stem shrinkage and in the structural designs of piles and pile caps.

Abstract:
The methodologies used to calculate piled raft foundations are normally more complex than conventional foundations due to the large number of variables involved in the problem. In the conventional block, the interaction variables considered are only between the pile and the soil. In the piled raft, all the interaction effects must be considered, as follows: plate-soil, plate-piles and piles-soil, simultaneously. The Finite Element Method (FEM) has proven to be a useful tool in analyzing these types of problems. This study aims at assessing the behavior of piled rafts using the Cesar-LCPC numerical tool, version 4.0, which is based on the finite element method. Literature cases of rafts supported by 9, 15 and 16 piles were analyzed. The results obtained were compared with analysis methods presented in the bibliography. The following parameters were assessed: relative spacing (S/D), relative length (L/D), relative stiffness between piles and the soil (KPS), and settlement of piles and the raft. The spacing between piles has a significant influence on load distribution between piles and the raft. Very small spacing provides stiffness to the foundation, which then functions as a conventional pile foundation, in which only the piles absorb the load from the superstructure. The larger the L/D ratio, the lower the settlement and for a given modulus of elasticity of the pile, the increase in relative stiffness (KPS) causes an increase in settlement. In all analyses, the data obtained corroborated the results presented by other methods published in the literature.

Abstract:
The long-short-piled raft foundation is an unusual type of building base. This kind of foundation is usually applied for pile foundation reinforcement of existing buildings when shortage of bearing capacity of piles occurs. The bearing capacity of pile foundation is improved and less settlement is expected. Since this method has so many obvious advantages, it is recommended in the reinforcement design of piled raft foundation of an existing building in Tianjin. Longer reinforced concrete bored piles are adopted as the supplementary ones. The bearing capacity of this kind of piled raft foundation was studied. The settlement was also analyzed with the National standard method together with the finite element numerical method. According to the study, the bearing capacity of piled raft foundation is enhanced effectively after adding piles. Also, the results show that the total settlement and differential settlement during the construction is in control respectively.

Abstract:
The use of concrete foundations on a natural subgrade of brick buildings with a spatial cross-wall structural system can lead to its ultimate limit and elastoplastic states along the perimeter and, as a consequence, unallowable soil deformation and movement. The paper proposes to eliminate ultimate limit and elastoplastic states along the perimeter of concrete piles through the replacement of the foundation slab by the combined piled-raft foundation. The finite element modeling of the stress-strain state of the concrete foundation and the building superstructure of the base-foundation-building system is performed in the MicroFe software package allowing to appropriately estimate this state in real geotechnical conditions. According to calculations, 46 % of the vertical load of the building is taken by concrete piles along the perimeter, and 54 % of this load is taken by the concrete foundation. The use of the combined piled-raft foundation allows eliminating unallowable soil deformation of the foundation and provides meeting the standard requirements.

Abstract:
Piled raft is commonly used as foundation for high rise buildings. The design concept of piled raft foundation is to minimize the number of piles, and to utilize the entire bearing capacity. High axial stresses are therefore, concentrated at the region of connection between the piles and raft. Recently, an alternative technique is proposed to disconnect the piles from the raft in a so called unconnected piled raft (UCPR) foundation, in which a compacted soil layer (cushion) beneath the raft, is usually introduced. The piles of the new system are considered as reinforcement members for the subsoil rather than as structural members. In the current study, the behavior of unconnected piled rafts systems has been studied numerically by means of 3D Finite Element analysis via ABAQUS software. The numerical analysis was carried out to investigate the effect of thickness and stiffness of the cushion, pile length, stiffness of foundation soil, and stiffness of bearing soil on the performance of the unconnected piled raft. The results indicate that when unconnected piles are used, the axial stress along the pile is significantly reduced e.g. the axial stress at head of unconnected pile is decreased by 37.8% compared with that related to connected pile. It is also found that the stiffness and thickness of the cushion, and stiffness of foundation soil have considerable role on reduction the settlement.
