Abstract text:
The aim of this paper is to analyse a colums raft foundation system. The soil, on which it is located the structure, belongs to difficult foundation earth and is characterized by a contractile clay with the presence of underground water. Using geotechnical calculation programs has been evaluated the behaviour of piles with large diameter (columns) based on three modelling types of slab design and considering loaded only with axial force, because, especially in this case, the foundation have to ensure safety for entire building. We analyse a single column with the bigger load provided from the slab, proposing also a reinforcement solution. The interest for analysing the columns is to know that the interaction between foundation system and foundation environment is very important. To accomplish these conditions mentioned before it is necessary to ensure the column strength. This research also wants to determine the quantity of materials (concrete and steel) in columns. The final task of the analyse is to design a resistance and safety foundation system.
Key Words:
columns raft; settlement; contractil soil; reinforcement; foundation system.
