Core structure is an indispensable part of high buildings. Normally, the foundation of the core structure has a raft of larger size than the other foundations in the same project; therefore, the foundation of the core structure can be viewed as a small piled raft foundation. Currently, when calculating the piled foundation of the core, it is mostly assumed that the piles system will bear all the project loads. But this calculation method is not suitable for the actual constructions as well as does not make full use of the bearing capacity of the structure and the ground, leading to using more materials and causing more waste. Core structure aims to increase both stiffness and horizontal load capacity in high-rise buildings, so the moment inside the core transmitted to the foundation is very large. One of the shortcomings of the Plaxis 3D Foundation software is its inability to declare the moment affecting on the foundation due to the loads in this program just includes distributed loads, line loads and point loads in the geometry model. Consequently, when using Plaxis 3D Foundation software to calculate the core wall foundation of high-rise buildings, this moment is converted into an equivalent pair of moments. The research shows that when the core foundation of a high-rise building is placed on soft soil, the pile carries 96%, most of the load transmitted to the foundation. However, when the foundation is placed on hard soil, the soil surrounding the raft will bear about 10% of the load transmitted to the foundation. If this matter is skipped, there will be a large error in calculation and design

A piled raft foundation consists of a thick concrete slab reinforced with steel which covers the entire contact area of the structure, in which the raft is supported by a group of piles or a number of individual piles. Bending moment on raft, differential and average settlement, pile and raft geometries are the influencing parameters of the piled raft foundation system. In this paper, a detailed review has been carried out on the issues on the raft foundation design. Also, the existing design procedure was explained.

The introduction of Eurocode in Kazakhstan allows for the application of modern technological innovations and the elimination of technical barriers for the realization of international projects. It is significant to study the international standards and design requirements provided in Eurocode. This study presents a comparative analysis of Kazakhstani and European approaches for the geotechnical design of foundations and provides the design methods in the considered codes of practice. Three different types of foundations (i.e., raft, pile, and piled raft foundations) were designed following SP RK 5.01-102-2013—Foundations of buildings and structures, SP RK 5.01-103-2013—Pile foundations, and Eurocode 7: Geotechnical design for the Nur-Sultan soil profile. For all three types of foundations, the calculated results of bearing resistance and elastic settlement showed the conservativeness of Eurocode over SNiP-based Kazakhstani building regulations, as the values of bearing resistance and elastic settlement adhering to Kazakhstani code exceeded the Eurocode values. The difference between the obtained results can be explained by the application of higher values of partial safety factors by Eurocode 7. Sensitivity analysis of the bearing resistance on foundation parameters (i.e., raft foundation width and pile length) for the Kazakhstani and European approaches was performed to support the conclusions of the study.
