Abstract
When the loading sustained by the foundation is large, employing piled raft foundation is one of the best solutions. In the elasto-plastic design of piled raft, piles could improve the differential settlement and reduce raft thickness. As the raft sustains high earth and water pressures, by reducing the span length of raft and excavation depth, one can get economic design. Using elasto-plastic property of the pile is a better method to avoid increasing the pile length and pile diameter and making full capacity of the piled raft foundation in design compared to normal piled raft. With adoption of few small diameter piles, the raft thickness could be reduced significantly. This makes it much better than raft foundation.
