Performance of Piled Raft Foundation with Variation of Pile Length, Diameter, and Raft Thickness for High-Rise Structures Using Finite Element Modelling
摘要
This research examines various combinations of raft thickness, pile diameter, and pile length over multiple case studies using two pile configurations (PC). The two pile configurations, P1 and P2, differ in their fundamental properties and are implemented on piled raft foundations (PRF) to facilitate the design of the high-rise building through numerical modeling. This study employs many metrics to examine interaction behavior. The different proportions vary with characteristics such as pile length (LP), pile diameter (DP), and raft thickness (TR) to enhance the bearing capacity of the foundations. These components enhance the load-bearing capability of foundations. The design of optimal selections of fundamental parameters in stacked raft foundations, influenced by various loading situations and settling behaviors, plays a crucial role. This study examines the various collaborative loading characteristics of a piled raft to illustrate the total and differential settlements of the structures. Initially, to compute the overall loads on the structures utilizing distinct Indian Standard Codes (IS Codes). Subsequently, these loads are imposed on their stacked raft foundation. To examine the various behaviors of soil-structure interaction based on the key parameters of LP, DP, and TR. Additionally, the computation of these components and loading conditions to provide an optimal selection of embedded parameters relies on finite element modeling using ELPLA software. The investigation also examines the effects on load-settlement parameters, which are fundamentally reliant on the distributions of shear force and bending moments. This study evaluates the PRF models against alternative models under diverse parameters and loading situations, identifying our optimal model for high-rise buildings, and compares the outcomes of both sets based on variations in pile configurations P1 and P2.
