Settlement Of Piled Rafts: A Critical Review Of The Case Histories And Calculation Methods

In this study, settlement analysis of pile groups by hand calculation
methods were investigated. Settlement ratio, equivalent pier, and equivalent raft
methods were studied. Variations in some of the calculation methods were noted,
and some suggestions were given.
More than thirty piled raft foundation case histories whose foundation
and soil properties known have been found. The settlement of piled foundation in
each case was solved by these methods. Results obtained from the calculations
following different methods were presented for each case in the form of tables and
graphs. Measured and calculated values were compared by making use of graphs
and tables. Effect of type of piles was shown.
It was tried to find out that which method is suitable under different
conditions. In conclusion, suggestions for methods and calculation procedures
were given.
