Abstract: A hand-calculation method for estimation of nonlinear load–settlement response of piled raft foundations (PRFs) embedded in sandy soils is developed using three-dimensional finite-element (FE) analysis in which the ...

Abstract: Time-dependent settlements of piled raft foundations embedded in consolidating clays were studied using three-dimensional (3D) finite-element analysis and critical state-based soil constitutive modified Cam-Clay (MCC) ...

Abstract: Piled raft foundations (PRFs) below stepped high-rise towers are often subjected to nonuniform triangular-shaped loads with eccentricities. In this study, 20 rectangular piled rafts with different pile configurations and ...

Abstract: Time-dependent response of piled raft foundations (PRFs) in saturated, normally consolidated and moderately overconsolidated clayey soils under the single-drainage condition is investigated using three-dimensional, ...

Abstract: Systematic linear-elastic finite-element analyses were performed on a series of unpiled rafts (rafts without piles), pile groups, and piled rafts with different geometries and pile configurations to determine the stiffness ...
