Currently, the pile foundation underpinning technology is widely used when underground
transportation infrastructure passes through existing buildings or structures in urban areas …

Engineering structures built on soft and compressible soils are often subjected to a long‐
lasting consolidation settlement. It is difficult to achieve an acceptable level of consolidation …

The typical foundation type for a nuclear power station is the raft foundation in rock areas.
With the power demand, it is possible that a nuclear power station located in soft soil areas …

In recent years, the benefits of reducing the impacts of the earthquake on the seismic
response of disconnected pile raft foundation (DPRF) have simulated increasing research …

This paper presents a simplified method for the nonlinear analysis of composite piled raft
foundation, CPRF, subjected to vertical loads. As a cost-effective alternative to piled rafts, the …

The design of foundations based on soft clay is still a very challenging problem. Three
experimental cases were performed to examine the action of soft clay: the first case without …

Recent earthquakes leading to the emergence of surface fault rupture (SFR) on the ground
surface have indicated disastrous damage to buildings. As avoidance is not always …

Micropiled raft has been used to support the existing and new structures or to provide the
seismic reinforcement of foundation systems. Recently, research on micropile or micropiled …

In recent decades, significant public and private investment in the construction industry has
led to the development of recommendations or guidelines for deciding the optimum …

In this study, numerical analyses of connected and disconnected piled-raft foundations
(PRFs) comprising a single pile, 2× 1, 3× 1, 2× 2, 3× 2, 3× 3 and 5× 5 pile groups subjected …
