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

When the loading sustained by the foundation is large, employing piled raft foundation is one of the best solutions. In the elasto-plastic design of piled raft, piles could improve the differential settlement and reduce raft thickness. As the raft sustains high earth and water pressures, by reducing the span length of raft and excavation depth, one can get economic design. Using elasto-plastic property of the pile is a better method to avoid increasing the pile length and pile diameter and making full capacity of the piled raft foundation in design compared to normal piled raft. With adoption of few small diameter piles, the raft thickness could be reduced significantly. This makes it much better than raft foundation.

To accommodate the shear requirement and settlement requirement of high rise construction, the concept of piled-raft foundation has been developed. This research deals with successive analysis of parameters of piled-raft foundation system using PLAXIS-2D as a FEM tool. Plain strain analysis of piled raft foundation system has been conducted out by successive fixing up of parameters. For the analysis two cases has been studied for piled-raft lying on silty soil deposit and on clayey deposit with respect to uniform static loading from superstructure. The result of successive variation of parameters showed that variation has limiting effect on stress and displacement behavior. The analysis is also performed for raft of different relative stiffness and pile of different relative compressibility and load sharing between plain strain pile and raft has been analyzed.

Piled raft is commonly used as foundation for high rise buildings. The design concept of piled raft foundation is to minimize the number of piles, and to utilize the entire bearing capacity. High axial stresses are therefore, concentrated at the region of connection between the piles and raft. Recently, an alternative technique is proposed to disconnect the piles from the raft in a so called unconnected piled raft (UCPR) foundation, in which a compacted soil layer (cushion) beneath the raft, is usually introduced.  The piles of the new system are considered as reinforcement members for the subsoil rather than as structural members. In the current study, the behavior of unconnected piled rafts systems has been studied numerically by means of 3D Finite Element analysis via ABAQUS software. The numerical analysis was carried out to investigate the effect of thickness and stiffness of the cushion, pile length, stiffness of foundation soil, and stiffness of bearing soil on the performance of the unconnected piled raft. The results indicate that when unconnected piles are used, the axial stress along the pile is significantly reduced e.g. the axial stress at head of unconnected pile is decreased by 37.8% compared with that related to connected pile. It is also found that the stiffness and thickness of the cushion, and stiffness of foundation soil have considerable role on reduction the settlement.

Abstract In the present study, a small piled raft foundation has been simulated numerically through PLAXIS 3-D software. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of governing parameters such as pile length, pile spacing, pile diameter, and number of piles on the settlement and load-bearing behavior of piled raft, so as to achieve the optimum design for small piled raft configurations. An optimized design of a piled raft is defined as a design with allowable center and differential settlements and satisfactory bearing behavior for a given raft geometry and loading. The results indicated that, with increase in pile length, pile spacing, pile diameter, and number of piles, both the center settlement ratio and differential settlement ratio decreased. The load-bearing capacity of piled raft increased with increase in pile length, pile spacing, pile diameter, and number of piles. Furthermore, the percentage load carried by the piles increased as the pile length, pile spacing, pile diameter, and number of piles increased. The bending moment and shear force in corner pile are noted to be more, and they decreased towards the center pile. With increase in pile length, the maximum raft bending moment decreased, whereas the maximum shear force in the raft increased. Further, with increase in pile spacing, pile diameter, and number of piles, the maximum bending moment and maximum shear force in the raft increased. The optimum parameters for the piled raft foundation can be selected efficiently with the consideration of maximum bending moment and maximum shear force while designing the piled raft foundation. Thus, the results of this study can be used as guidelines for achieving optimum design for small piled raft foundation.
