Analysis of piled raft behavior
The main objective of this project is to study the behavior of piled raft foundation system and analyze how piles are being designed optimally to control the displacements the foundation system. Piled raft foundation is different from the conventional pile foundation because engineers normally ignor...

The main objective of this project is to study the behavior of piled raft foundation system and analyze how piles are being designed optimally to control the displacements the foundation system.
