Lateral load resistance of piled raft foundation - A case study of District Jail, Saidu Sharif, Swat Pakistan
Abstract
Piled raft foundations under lateral loads are usually designed as a pile group, ignoring the contribution of the raft to resisting the lateral loads. In this paper, a case study was performed to determine the raft's contribution to the lateral load resistance. This study analyzed a pile-supported reinforced concrete retaining wall for two different foundation conditions, i.e., pile group foundation and pile raft foundation. Pile group supported reinforced concrete retaining wall was analyzed by following the standard code practice while pile raft supported reinforced concrete retaining wall was analyzed with the help of up-to-the-minute finite element-based software, PLAXIS 3D. It was revealed that by considering the contribution of the raft in the pile raft foundation system subjected to lateral loads, a great deal of economy can be achieved in terms of the small diameter of piles, short pile lengths and less number of piles. The maximum moment on piles was decreased about 2.5-3 times while the maximum shear was decreased about 2-3 times. A decrease in demand also results in reducing the lateral deflection of piles to about 50 %.
