Study of Differential Length of Pile on carrying capacity of Model Square Piled Raft

Abstract

In the previous few decades research on piled raft foundation are rapid increases with technology. The main purpose of researches is economical and safe design. In this research study, examine the square raft model with the strategical arrangement of piles. In an experimental study of the model, there are six types of arrangement of model pile group and model piled raft examined on the homogeneous sandy soil. The effect of differential length of a pile on load-settlement characteristics, capacity of load bearing and the efficiency base on an ultimate load of the pile group and the piled raft are determined. Also, the reduction in settlement for pile raft is determin
