I. INTRODUCTION
Concrete structure is generally expected to give
trouble free service though out its intended service
life. However, these expectations are not achieved
due to structural deficiency, faulty constructions
methodology, poor quality control &construction
specifications, material deterioration, harsher
services environment than those expected during
planning & design stages - change in intended use or
change in live load, unanticipated over loading or
unforeseen activities like fire, earthquake, explosion
etc. Such structures require failure analysis &
restoration to meet its function requirements by
adopting appropriate repair and rehabilitation
techniques. (1)
Piled Raft Foundation:-
Concept of pile raft foundation as per the
graphical representation. (2)
Fig 1 Concept of Pile Raft
Major underground water leakage though raft
foundation at basement of Beach Resorts Goa
compelled structural rehabilitation of the basement
foundation. The structure was completed in year
2001. The structure was designed with RCC raft to
cater uplift due to underground water and individual
columns and footings to support the building.
II. LITRETURE REVIEW
Piled raft foundation is a piled foundation
that implements the piles as elements used for
enhancing the behaviour of the raft to satisfy the
design requirements, and they are not considered as
carriers for the total structural load. The design
requirements may be related to the settlement
control or increasing the ultimate bearing capacity
of the foundation. Since the main purpose of the
piles in the majority of piled foundations is to limit
settlement, then the piles in the piled raft will serve
mainly as settlement reducers. The concept of
settlement reducing piles firstly proposed by
Burland et al. leads to the use of limited number of
piles beneath the raft to reduce settlement (total
and/or differential) with a low cost compared to
traditional pile foundation. Randolph has discussed
the importance of focusing upon settlement issues
rather than capacity in the design of piled
foundations. Also Randolph has reviewed some

analytical approaches for estimating the stiffness of
pile foundations systems. The piled raft foundation
has a complex behaviour involving different
interactions between its various components.
Therefore, a proper analytical model is needed to
evaluate these interactions. Numerical methods,
which are approximate, have been developed widely
in the last two decades because numerical methods
are less costly and may be used to consider many
kinds of different soil and foundation geometries
compared to field and model tests. According to
Poulo, there are three broad classes of numerical
analysis methods:
(1) simplified calculation methods
(2) Approximate computer-based methods and
(3) More rigorous computer-based methods.
Poulo also noted that the most feasible
method of analysis is the 3Dlinear/nonlinear finite
element or finite difference methods. Recently
nonlinear 3D finite element and finite difference
analyses have been conducted. However, modelling
problems related to the soil–structure interface still
remain in the 3D finite element and finite difference
analysis. The great challenge in the numerical
methods is the choice of proper input parameters to
give reasonable output results. The procedure of
choosing right values for the input parameters can
be adjusted by making back analysis for well
documented case histories.
Therefore, the overall objective of this
study focuses on investigating the behaviour of the
piled raft foundation system in clay by changing of
some parameters as: - Piles' number, length and
configuration (distribution of piles over the raft).
The change in the piles, number, length and
configuration in addition to the change in subsoil
properties produces a wide variety of cases to be
studied. From this variety we may see the effect of
changing each variable separately in a condition that
may be close to a real one. From the parametric
study aims at helping the engineers in taking a
logical path in an iterative design process for a piled
raft foundation. (3)

III. STRUCTURAL DESIGN
It is common in foundation design to
consider first the use of a shallow foundation
system, such as a raft, to support a structure and
then if it is not adequate, to design a fully piled
foundation in which the entire design loads are
resisted by the piles. Despite such design
assumptions, it is common for a raft to be the part of
the foundation system (e.g. because of the need to
provide a basement below the structure). In the past
few years, there has been an increasing recognition
that the use of piles to reduce raft settlements and
differential settlements can lead to considerable
economy without compromising the safety and
performance of the foundation. Such a foundation
makes use of both the raft and the piles, and is
referred to here as a pile enhanced raft or a piled
raft.
Design Of Piled Raft Foundation:-
Functional requirements and Available
Design parameters
Parameters of Existing RCC Raft:
a) Grade of Concrete existing RCC raft : M 20 ( As
per available drawing)
b) Thickness of existing RCC raft : 150 mm ( ± 25
mm ) thick ( As per site condition which is less
than as required by drawing)
c) Reinforcement in existing RCC raft: 8 mm Ø @
250 – 300 mm spacing in both directions. ( As
per site condition which is more than as required
by drawing)
Function Requirements of Beach resort:
The affected portion of the basement is being used
as conference hall of the resort which has restricted
headroom of 3.0 m. Resort intend to continue it as
Conference hall without any reduction in headroom
on rehabilitation of it RCC raft.Available Design
Parameters: Existing Structural framework of the
building:The building load is transferred to their
individual footing underneath the basement floor.
RCC raft at basement level forms a structural
member to sustain uplift of underground water of
head 2m.It is concluded that the existing RCC raft
has been failed to sustain uplift due its structural
inadequacy. Therefore, rehabilitation shall be
confined to RCC raft of basement. In rehabilitation
scheme of RCC raft, existing raft has been discarded
as a part of structural members and it is decided to
design new RCC raft of restricted depth 150 mm
thick with anchor micro piles across the raft at
required spacing.

1. Design of Anchor Pile (A) (B)
:-
Piles in Granular Soils: -
The ultimate load capacity (Qu) of piles, in
kN, in granular soils is given by the following
formula from IS 2911:1:4:2010 or IRC 78:2000:-
n
Qu = Ap x (1/2 x D x γ x Nγ + PD x Nq) + ∑K x Pdi x tanδ x Asi
i=1
Part I Calculation. (End bearing resistance)
Ap x (1/2 x D x γ x Nγ + PD x Nq) --------------- (1)
Where,
Ap = C/s area of pile toe in cm2
= π/4 x 102
= 78.53 cm2
D = Stem diameter in cm
= 10 cm
γ = Effective unit weight of soil at toe Kg/cm3
= 0.001 Kg/cm3
Nγ = Bearing capacity factor as per IS: 6403 – 1981
Page no. 08
= 22.40
PD = Effective overburden pressure at pile toe
Kg/cm2
= 0.001 x (8.5) x 100
= 0.85 Kg/cm2
Nq = Bearing capacity factor as per IS: 6403-1981
= 18.40
Now Putting the values in the equation (1) we get:-
= 78.53 (½ x 10 x 0.001 x 22.40 + 0.85 x 18.40)
= 78.53 (0.112 + 15.64)
= 78.53 (15.752)
= 1237.00 Kg
= 1.237 T
Part II calculation (Skin friction resistance)
K x Pdi x tanδ x Asi---------------------- (2)
Where,
K = Co efficient of earth pressure = 1
Pdi = Effective overburden pressure in Kg/cm2
for
ith layer
= 0.001 x 8.5 x 100
= 0.85 Kg/cm2
δ = Angle of wall friction between piles and soil
= 37
Asi = Surface area of pile in cm2 in ith layer
= Perimeter x Height
= π x 10 x 850
= 26703.53 cm2
Now Putting the values in the equation (2) we get:-
= 1 x 0.85 x tan 37 x 26703.53
= 17104.17 Kg
= 17.104 T
Therefore Ultimate bearing capacity:-
Qu = 1.237 + 17.104
= 18.341 T
Safe bearing capacity:-
Taking factor of safety as 1.5:-
Q safe = 18.341/1.5
= 12.22 T
Taking factor of safety as 2.5:-
Q safe = 18.341/2.5
= 7.33 T
Calculation of number of piles required:-
For FS = 1.5
= Total load/Q safe
= 474.59/12.22
= 39 no’s
For FS = 2.5
= Total load/Q safe
= 474.59/7.33
= 65 no’s
Load on each pile:-
For FS = 1.5
= 474.59/39
= 12.16 T
For FS = 2.5
= 474.59/65
= 7.30 T
But for actual number of piles as per the site
condition is 95 no’s therefore,
= 474.59/95
= 4.99
= 5.0 T
Therefore the load on each pile is 5.0 T.
2. Design of Flat Slab for the new raft slab for
basement (5) (C)
:-
Flat slabs system of construction is one in
which the beams used in the conventional methods
of constructions are done away with. The slab
directly rests on the column and load from the slab
is directly transferred to the columns and then to the
foundation. To support heavy loads the thickness of
slab near the support with the column is increased
and these are called drops, or columns are generally
provided with enlarged heads called column heads
or capitals.
Absence of beam gives a plain ceiling, thus
giving better architectural appearance and also less
vulnerability in case of fire than in usual cases
where beams are used. Plain ceiling diffuses light
better, easier to construct and requires cheaper form

work. As per local conditions and availability of
materials different countries have adopted different
methods for design of flat slabs and given their
guidelines in their respective codes.
The aim of this project is to try and
illustrate the methods used for flat slab design using
IS: 456-2000 design codes. For carrying out this
project an interior panel of a flat slab with
dimensions 1.0 x 1.0 m and was designed using the
codes given above.
Available data:-
1) Size of slab = 150 mm
2) Without drop and column head
3) Size of the column (anchor pile) = 100 mm Dia.
4) Grade of steel = Fe 415
5) Grade of concrete = M 25
1) Thickness:-
Since drop is not provided and HYSD bars are
used span to thickness ratioshall not be exceed
= Span/0.9 x 26
= 1000/28.8
= 34.72 mm
As per the IS 456-2000 the minimum thickness shall
be 125 mm, so we provided 150mm.
2) Load Calculation:-
Net upward pressure = 43.35 KN/m2
Therefore Factored load = 1.5 x 43.35
= 65.025 KN/m2
3) Total design load in a panel:-
W = 65.025 x L2 x Ln
Where,
L2 = Length of span transverse to L1
Ln = Clear span extending from face to face of
column, capitals, brackets or walls but not
less than 0.65 L1.
W = 65.025 x 1 x 0.824
W = 53.58 KN/m2
4) Moment:-
Panel moment (For interior panel)
M0 = WLn/8
= (53.58 x 0.824)/8
=5.51KN-m
Panel –ve moment (For interior panel)
= 0.65 x M0
= 0.65 x 5.51
= 3.58 KN-m
Panel +ve Moment (For interior panel)
= 0.35 x M0
= 0.35 x 5.51
= 1.93 KN-m
Distribution of moment into column strip and
middle strip:-
Column strip in
KN-m
Middle strip in
KN-m
-ve moment Mnc = 5.38 Mnm = 1.78
+ve moment Mpc = 2.32 Mpm = 1.55
5) Checking for the thickness selected:-
Since Fe 415 steel is used
Mulim = 0.138 fck bd2
Width of column strip = 0.50 x 1000
= 500 mm
Mu lim = 0.138 x 25 x 500 x 1502
= 38.81 x 106
N-mm
= 38.81 KN-m
Thickness provided is OK.
6) Check for shear:-
Shear to be resisted by critical section
V = 53.58 x 1 x 1 – 53.58 x 0.212 x 0.212
V = 53.58 – 2.408
V = 51.172 KN
δv = (V x 1000)/4 x 212 x 124
= (51.172 x 1000)/ 4 x 212 x 124
= 0.48 N/mm2
Ks = 0.5 + βc
Where,
βc = 1
But Ks value should not be greater than 1
Therefore Ks = 1
And,
δc = 0.25 √ fck
= 0.25 √ 25
= 1.25 N/mm2
Therefore δv <δc ------------------------------Safe
Shear reinforcement not required.
7) Reinforcement:-
a) For –ve moment in the column strip.
Mnc= 5.38 KN-m
Mnc= 0.87 x fy x Ast x d (1 – (Ast/bd) x
(fy/fck))
5.38 x 106
= 0.87 x 415 x Ast x 124 (1 –

5.95 Ast2
– 44.77 x 103
Ast + 2.32 x 106
= 0
Therefore,
Ast = 52.182 mm2
This is to be provided in a column strip of width
1000 mm. Hence using 12 mm bars spacing
required is given by,
S = ((π/4 x 122)/52.182) x 1000
S = 2167 mm
c) For –ve moment in the middle strip.
Mnm= 1.78KN-m
Mnm= 0.87 x fy x Ast x d (1 – (Ast/bd) x

1.78 x 106
= 0.87 x 415 x Ast x 124 (1 –
(Ast/500 x 124) x (415/25))
1.78 x 106
= 44.77 x 103
Ast (1 – 1.33 x 10-4

1.78 x 106
= 44.77 x 103
Ast – 5.95Ast2
5.95 Ast2
– 44.77 x 103
Ast + 1.78 x 106
= 0
Therefore,
Ast = 39.97 mm2
This is to be provided in a middle strip of width
1000 mm. Hence using 12 mm bars spacing
required is given by,
S = ((π/4 x 122)/39.97) x 1000
S = 2829 mm
d) For +ve moment in the middle strip.
Mpm = 1.55 KN-m
Mpm= 0.87 x fy x Ast x d (1 – (Ast/bd) x

= 0.87 x 415 x Ast x 124 (1 –
(Ast/500 x 124) x (415/25))
1.55 x 106
= 44.77 x 103

= 44.77 x 103
Ast – 5.95Ast2
5.95 Ast2
– 44.77 x 103
Ast + 1.55 x 106
= 0
Therefore,
Ast = 34.782 mm2
This is to be provided in a middle strip of width
1000 mm. Hence using 12 mm bars spacing
required is given by,
S = ((π/4 x 122)/34.782) x 1000
= 3251 mm
From the design of new raft slab, for
maximum moment, we have taken the steel as 12 @
200 mm both ways as per the IS code specification
and also the anchor resin has been provided so as to
minimize the chances of failure of new raft slab, the
minimum depth of 100 mm for anchor resin has to
be provided for the interlocking between the new
raft slab and the retaining wall.
Comment: From the design of Anchor pile and the
raft slab, 20mm dia Steel should be used for the
anchor pile and 12 @ 200mm steel should be used
for the raft slab with the anchor resin.

IV. WORK METHODOLOGY AND
EXECUTION
1. Work Methodology for Piled Raft
Foundation:-The execution of rehabilitation should
be carried out according to the following steps.
Special care should always be taken to ensure the
high quality of work.
1.1 For Anchor Pile:-
1) Ground marking:-
As per the rehabilitation design issued by
me, the contractor has carried out anchor pile
marking on basement raft.

Fig.5 Marking of anchor pile on basement raft
2) Setting of Rig:-
The location of the anchor piles has been
marked on the ground so after the completion of the
marking the rig is set at the location and further the
drilling process starts. Once the drilling is in process
simultaneously the casings has to be installed so as
to minimize the chances of collapse of the strata.
Fig.6 Setting of Rig at each location
3) Depth of the anchor piles:-
The depth of the anchor pile is set to 8.5
mts as per the design calculations, but at places if
the hard stratum is found then it has to be stopped
after some penetration into it.
Fig.8 Checking the Depth of Anchor pile
4) Insertion/Placing of bar into the bore hole:-
After the completion of the bore hole the
bar of 3 meter length 3 pieces (Due to height
restriction bar has to be cut into pieces) has to be
welded by using proper chemical (Lokfix) and the
connecting pipe, for better tensile loading on to the
pile, The diameter of the bar used is 20mm.

V. QUALITY ASSURANCE &
QUALITY CONTROL TESTING
For evaluation of the engineering properties
different tests were conducted viz. Load tests on piles,
Compression test as described below,
Load Tests on Pile:-
This test is required for one or more of the
following purposes. This is done in case of important
and/or major projects and number of tests may be one or
more depending upon the number of piles required.
Note: - In case specific information about strata and past
guiding experience is not available, there should be
minimum of one test.
1) Determination of ultimate load capacities and allowable
safe load by application of factor of safety.
2) To provide guidelines for setting up the limits of
acceptance for routine tests.
3) To study the effect of piling on adjacent existing
structures and takes decision for the suitability of type of
piles to be used.
4) To get an idea of suitability of piling system, and To
have a check on calculated load by dynamic or static
approaches.
Note: - Piles used for initial testing are loaded to failure or
at least twice the design load. Such piles are generally not
used in the final construction.

As per design calculation safe bearing capacity
of pile 7.33 T, But we loaded for ultimate bearing of
26416 kg on two piles therefore on one pile the maximum
loading will be 13208 kg (i.e. 13.208 T), so we can
assume that the pile is safe for uplift.(6)

Compression Test (7) (D)
:-
A compression test is a method for
determining the behaviour of materials under a
compressive load. Compression tests are conducted
by loading the test specimen between two plates and
then applying a force to the specimen by moving the
crossheads together. The compression test is used to
determine elastic limit, proportionality limit, yield
point, yield strength and compressive strength.

VI. CONCLUSION
1) Rehabilitation of basement RCC raft foundation
is achieved by providing new RCC raft - flat
slab with anchored micro piles 0f 100 mm
diameter and depth up to 8 m, and with

injection grouting of sandy strata underlying the
raft foundation.
2) Restriction on depth of the basement RCC raft
was also taken into account and thereby no
reduction in headroom for intended use, as
available earlier
3) Methodical analysis of various causes of
structural failure, effective and timely
rehabilitation can restore the structure to
intended use.
