Load sharing characteristics of piled raft foundation in clay soil

Ningombam Thoiba Singh, Baleshwar Singh

In an elastic analysis of piled raft foundation in clay soils, the load sharing behaviour of piles and raft has been studied by varying soil modulus, pile spacing, pile length and raft thickness. Increase in raft thickness has no significant effect on load sharing in soft soil. Unit skin friction developed along the pile length increases with depth as well as pile spacing.
