  • Abstract:
  • The proposed study aims to conduct a comprehensive static analysis of a piled raft foundation system for a multi- storeyed building constructed on alternating layers of sand and clay soil. This research is a live project work motivated by the need to ensure the safety, stability, and optimal performance of buildings situated in regions with heterogeneous soil conditions . Collecting geotechnical data to characterize the parameters of the sand and clay layers. The superstructure is analyzed using the software E-TABS, and an appropriate foundation can be designed. The soil parameters are characterized using geotechnical data and input this information into ABAQUS for precise material modelling. Using ABAQUS, a finite element program, as the main analysis tool, the study will offer crucial insights into how foundations behave in varied soil conditions under static loads. Performing parametric studies based on the numerical analysis to investigate the influence of changing important design parameters and soil conditions on the response of the foundation and to offer insights into possible design optimizations.
