A Settlement Compensation Method for Design of Settlement Controlled Piled Raft Foundations under Vertical Loadings

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to analyze the behavior of piled raft foundations under vertical loadings, a simplified method called settlement compensation method (SCM) is proposed based on the basic principles in the code for design of building foundation of China. The effect of several influence factors of the SCM was investigated through an exemplar case. The applicability and accuracy of SCM was checked theoretically with a finite element analysis, and verified practically through a case study in which the results of settlement analysis of other methods were included for comparison.
