| Sumario: | To control the problems of high stresses and applied moments in the piled raft foundations disconnected piled were used and the piles considered as reinforcement to the soil rather than as structural members, the gap (separation layer) between the piles and the raft can be filled with stabilized granular material which distributes the stresses below the raft and decreases the concentration stresses at the pile heads. Fifteen model tests were performed using three precast concrete pile models embedded within soft clayey soil of undrained shear strength 30kPa. Flexi-Force sensors were used fixed on piles head and the surrounding soil to measure the sharing load transmitted to piles and the surrounding soil. Geogrid and geocell materials were used in different depths and in multilayers to reinforce the separation layer and increase its stiffness. The results show that when reinforcing the separation layer with geogrid at different depths, an increase in depth over the top of the piles reduced the bearing pressure. When used, geocell reinforcement significantly increases in load carrying capacity, and a significant reduction in footing settlement occurs. |
