Piled rafts are increasingly being used to support different heavy infrastructure facilities. The
total resistance of piled raft is cumulative of shallow component, ie, raft and deep …

The present study proposes a finite-element approach to focus on the load sharing and
deformation aspects of combined pile–raft foundation (CPRF) in a serviceability-based …

Problematic soils exist almost everywhere on the globe. State‐of‐the‐art solutions to make
civil engineering infrastructures built on them are still highly sought. The CFG (cement‐fly …

This paper presents the results of 1 g model tests performed on instrumented model
foundations, ie, unpiled raft, single piled raft, single disconnected piled raft (DPR) and 3× 3 …

The present study proposes a new finite element methodology to analyse the behaviour of
flexible combined pile–raft foundation (CPRF) situated in layered soil, in a displacement …

Disconnected piled raft foundations are characterised by no structural connection between
the upper raft and the underlying piles, mostly playing the role of settlement-reducers. The …

Connected and disconnected piled raft foundations have been evaluated under lateral cyclic
loading in this study. Connected Piled Raft (CPR) and nonconnected piled (NPR) …

Recent earthquake events have shown that besides the earthquake forces, interaction
between the fault rupture and structure could cause a lot of damage to the surface and …

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 the current study, the load responses and interaction effects of piled rafts embedded in
sands were investigated. A series of centrifuge load tests were conducted using different …
