    - If the raft and pile (assumed 9 piles) capacities are added, the total capacity of the

    foundation is

    - Compare between (3.23) and (3.24): the design value of ultimate capacity of the

    foundation is

    - The corresponding factor of safety is

    51.83/20 = 2.59, which satisfies the design criterion.

    3.4.4 Load-settlement behavior

    - The following calculations will be carried out.

    1. A non-linear analysis to estimate the relationship between load and immediatesettlement. From this curve, the immediate settlement is calculated.

    2. A linear analysis of both undrained and drained behavior to obtain, by difference,

    the consolidation settlement.

    3. Long-term settlement = immediate settlement + consolidation settlement.

    - From Figure 3.2: the ratio of the maximum differential settlement to the average

    settlement is 0.2 (corner) and 0.08 (mid-side). Assuming that this ratio applies also to the

    piled raft, the maximum long-term differential settlement (centre-to-corner) is 0.2 x

    0.0492 = 0.00984 m (or 9.8 mm) and (centre-to-midside) is 0.08 x 0.0492 = 0.00394 m

    (or 3.9 mm). This satisfies the design criterion of 10 mm maximum long-term differential

    settlement.

    3.4.6 Pile loads

    - The maximum axial piled load of 2.51 MN exceeds the ultimate geotechnical piled load

    capacity of 1.925 MN, thus implying that the capacity of the outer piles is fully utilized.

    3.4.7 Raft bending moments and shears

    - Long-term case (purely vertical loading) is considered and the applied loading is

    assumed to be uniformly distributed. The average applied pressure is 15/(6 10) = 0.25

    MPa and the piles take 87% of the applied load.

    + The average raft contact pressure is

    0.25 0.87 x 0.25 = 0.0325 MPa

    - From Figure 3.2: the ratio of the maximum differential settlement to the average

    settlement is 0.2 (corner) and 0.08 (mid-side). Assuming that this ratio applies also to the

    assumed to be uniformly distributed. The average applied pressure is 15/(6 10) = 0.25

    MPa and the piles take 89% of the applied load.

    This equals the design criterion of 50 mm maximum long-term settlement.

    - The simplifying assumption is made that the vertical load is uniformly distributed on the

    - From Figure 3.2: the ratio of the maximum differential settlement to the average

    settlement is 0.2 (corner) and 0.08 (mid-side). Assuming that this ratio applies also to the

    piled raft, the maximum long-term differential settlement (centre-to-corner) is 0.2 x 0.05

    = 0.01 m (or 10 mm) and (centre-to-midside) is 0.08 x 0.05 = 0.004 m (or 4 mm). This

    satisfies the design criterion of 10 mm maximum long-term differential settlement.

    - The maximum axial piled load of 1.78 MN exceeds the ultimate geotechnical piled load

    7. Raft bending moments and shears

    - Long-term case (purely vertical loading) is considered and the applied loading is

    assumed to be uniformly distributed. The average applied pressure is 15/(6 10) = 0.25

    MPa and the piles take 86% of the applied load.
