Application Study of Long-Short-Piled Raft Foundation

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.
