Piled raft foundation, Geodesical measurements, Numerical analysisAbstract
In this work, settlements results from measurements and from the numerical modelling of piled raft foundations are presented for an industrial structure under large loads. Due to the years of exploitation, it was needed to verify the settlements taken place in the raft, and the definitive values that can be reached. A numerical modelling is carried out to analyse the behaviour of the piled raft foundation under the action of the different combinations of loads. In addition, the validity of the model used is verified by comparison with measurements of displacements at the base of the foundation.
