This document discusses raft foundation design concepts for high-rise buildings. A raft foundation is a continuous slab that extends over the entire footprint of a building to transfer its weight uniformly to the soil. It is suitable for buildings with basements. Raft foundations are used when soil bearing capacity is low, loads are high, or differential settlement needs to be minimized. The document describes different types of raft foundations and provides an example design of a slab-beam raft foundation, calculating bending moments, reinforcement requirements, and checking deflection, shear, and cracking.
This document discusses the need for raft foundations. Raft foundations are recommended when:
1) Building loads are heavy or soil capacity is low, so individual footings would cover too much area.
2) Soil contains weak lenses or cavities, making differential settlement hard to predict.
3) Structures are sensitive to differential settlement.
4) Structures like silos naturally suit raft foundations.
5) Floating foundations are needed over very weak soil.
6) Buildings require basements or underground pits.
7) Individual footings would experience large bending stresses.
Raft foundations increase capacity, decrease settlement, and equalize differential settlement compared to individual footings. However,

information extraction, summarization, healthcare,
and question answering. This paper first delineates
four phases by examining various levels of NLP and
components of Natural Language Generation,
followed by a review of the history and progression of
NLP. Subsequently, we delve into the current state of
the art by presenting diverse NLP applications,
contemporary trends, and challenges. Finally, we
discuss some available datasets, models, and
evaluation metrics in NLP.
We have designed & manufacture the Lubi Valves LBF series type of Butterfly Valves for General Utility Water applications as well as for HVAC applications.

Consolidation Settlement Calculation Program-The Python Code
By Professor Dr. Costas Sachpazis, Civil Engineer & Geologist
This program calculates the consolidation settlement for a foundation based on soil layer properties and foundation data. It allows users to input multiple soil layers and foundation characteristics to determine the total settlement.
This is an overview of my current metallic design and engineering knowledge base built up over my professional career and two MSc degrees : - MSc in Advanced Manufacturing Technology University of Portsmouth graduated 1st May 1998, and MSc in Aircraft Engineering Cranfield University graduated 8th June 2007.

2. RAFT FOUNDATIONS
Also known as Mat foundations
It is a continuous slab resting on the soil
Extends over the entire footprint of the building thereby supporting the building
and transferring its weight to the ground.
Best suitable when have a basement floor (High rise structures)
3. RAFT FOUNDATIONS
When do we need a raft foundation?
Bearing capacity of the soil is low
Load to be transferred to the ground is high
Deep foundation becomes uneconomical
More number of columns
The total footing area is greater than 50% of the building area
4. RAFT FOUNDATION
Advantages
Supports large number of columns
Helps overcome differential settlement
Distributes the loads on a wider area thereby not exceeding allowable
bearing capacity
The only shallow foundation to carry heavy loads
Can carry lateral loads too
Resists uplift pressure
5. RAFT FOUNDATIONSTYPES
Flat SlabType Raft Foundation
Used when the columns are equally
spaced
Meaning uniform pressure throughout
the slab.
Slab has uniform thickness
6. RAFT FOUNDATIONSTYPES
Slab-BeamType Raft Foundation:
Used when column loads are unequally
distributed .
To avoid excessive distortion of the structure
as a result of variation in the load distribution
on the raft. In this type of raft foundation
beams are provided with the flat slabs.
7. RAFT FOUNDATIONSTYPES
Slab-BeamType Raft Foundation:
The beams add stiffness to the raft foundation.
The foundation slabs are reinforced with two
more steel meshes. One placed on the lower face
and another at the upper faces of the raft
foundation.
The raft beams are reinforced with strong stirrups
and bars placed at the upper and lower faces.
8. RAFT FOUNDATIONSTYPES
CellularType Raft Foundation:
In case of heavy structures on loose
soil or when soil tends for uneven
settlement, the thickness required
will be more than 1m.
In such case, cellular raft foundation
is more preferable than ordinary raft
foundation.
9. RAFT FOUNDATIONSTYPES
CellularType Raft Foundation:
Consists two slabs where a beam is
constructed of two slabs in both
directions forming hollow cellular raft
foundation.
These foundations are highly rigid and
more economical than other
foundations in such type of poor soil
10. RAFT FOUNDATIONSTYPES
Piled Raft foundation
When the soil so weak that there is an
excessive settlement of the raft slab then Raft
slab is laid on the piles.
Load is carried by the raft slab and settlement
is resisted by piles
11. DESIGN OF RAFT SLAB
Two approaches
Rigid foundation approach
Flexible foundation approach
Rigid Approach - In rigid foundation approach, it is presumed that raft is rigid enough to
bridge over non-uniformities of soil structure. Pressure distribution is considered to be
either uniform or varying linearly.
(a) Inverted floor system (b) Combined footing approach
In rigid rafts, differential settlements are comparatively low but bending moment and
shear forces to which raft is subjected are considerably high
12. DESIGN OF RAFT SLAB
Flexible Approach
In this approach, raft distributes the load in the area immediately surrounding the
column depending upon the soil characteristics.
Differential settlements are comparatively larger but bending moments and shear
forces are comparatively low.Two approaches
(a) Flexible plate supported on elastic foundation, i.e., Hetenyi'sTheory
(b) Foundation supported on bed of uniformly distributed elastic springs with a spring
constant determined using coefficient of sub-grade reaction. Each spring is presumed
to behave independently, i.e., Winklers's foundation
13. DESIGN OF RAFT SLAB
Pressure distributed under the raft
(1) The nature of the soil below the raft
(2) The nature of the foundation, i.e., whether rigid, flexible or soft
(3) Rigidity of the super-structure
(4) The quantum of loads and their relative magnitude
(5) Presence of adjoining foundation
(6) Size of raft
(7) Time at which pressure measurements are taken
15. DESIGN OF RAFT SLAB
Settlement of Raft Slab
The total settlement under the raft foundation can be considered to be made up
of three components, i.e.,
S = Sd+Sc+Ss
Where,
Sd is the immediate or distortion settlement
Sc the consolidation settlement and
Ss is the secondarycompression settlement
16. DESIGN OF SLAB-BEAMTYPE RAFT SLAB
Design of Slab-beam type raft slab (Inverted slab)
The most common approach in Medium rise residential/commercial buildings
The raft slab is designed as an inverted slab
The uplift pressure is the loading on the slab, for which BM and SFs are
calculated
The raft beams stiffen the raft slab
Raft beams are designed as inverted floor beams subjected to uplift pressure
17. DESIGN OF SLAB-BEAMTYPE RAFT SLAB
Area of the slab will be equal
to footprint of the building.
Cantilever portions are not
always necessary, depends on
the area required
18. DESIGN OF SLAB-BEAMTYPE RAFT SLAB
Example for discussion
Design a raft footing for the
foundation plan shown. Assume SBC
150kN/m2
C1 – 300x300 – 800 kN
C2 – 300x300 – 600 kN
19. DESIGN OF SLAB-BEAMTYPE RAFT SLAB
Solution : -
Calculation of column loads
Load from column C1 = 3 x 800 = 2400 kN
Load from column C2 = 6 x 600 = 3600 kN
Total load on Foundation = 6000 kN
Self weight of Foundation, 10% = 600 kN
Total load, w = 6600 kN
Area of footing required, A = 6600/150 = 44 m2 - SBC = 150kN/ m2
Footprint area of the grid = 6.3x6.3 = 39.69 m2 < Area required.
20. DESIGN OF SLAB-BEAMTYPE RAFT SLAB
Adopt a size of 7mx7m = 49m2
Since, the grid cannot be changed, Extend
the raft on the edges on all four sides as
shown in the figure.
Now this area would be sufficient.

21. DESIGN OF SLAB-BEAMTYPE RAFT SLAB
Net upward pressure,
p = Load of columns/Area provided
p = 6000/49 = 122.45 kN/m2 < SBC
Slab-beam type Raft slab is designed as inverted slab subjected to the Upward pressure 122.45
kN/m2
The raft slab has interior panels as well as a cantilever portion as shown above.
Hence we have to design both Interior panel and the cantilever portion.
22. DESIGN OF SLAB-BEAMTYPE RAFT SLAB
A) Cantilever Slab
Bending Moment, M = 1.5 x wl2 / 2 = 1.5 x 122.45 x 0.352 / 2
M = 11.25 kN-m
B) Interior Panel
Ly = 3m, Lx = 3m
Ly/Lx = 1
Referring Table 26, page 91, IS-456,
23. DESIGN OF SLAB-BEAMTYPE RAFT SLAB
For Interior panels,
Negative moment coefficients at continuous
edge along short span αx = -0.032, along longer
span αy = - 0.032
Positive moment coefficients at midspan along
short span αx = -0.032, along longer span αy =
- 0.032
24. DESIGN OF SLAB-BEAMTYPE RAFT SLAB
Bending Moments are calculated using the following formulae,
Negative bending moment, Mx = My = 0.032 x1.5x 122.45 x 32 = 52.89 kN-m (at
supports)
Positive bending moment, Mx = My = 0.024x1.5x122.45x 32 = 39.67 kN-m (at
Midspan)
25. DESIGN OF SLAB-BEAMTYPE RAFT SLAB

d = 138.43 mm
Adopt d = 150mm and a cover of 50mm, D = 200mm
Area of steel required,
For negative moment, Mu = 0.87 *fy *Ast (d-0.42Xu,max)
52.89 x 106= 0.87 x 415 x Ast (150 – 0.42(0.48x150))
Ast = 1223.19 mm2
Using 16 dia bars, spacing required = 201x1000/1223.19 = 164.4mm
PlaceT16 @ 150mm c/c
Area of steel provided, Ast = 1340 mm2
26. DESIGN OF SLAB-BEAMTYPE RAFT SLAB
Similarly for positive moment,
Ast = 917.45 mm2
Using 16 dia bars, spacing required = 201x1000/917.45 = 219.08mm
PlaceT16 @ 150mm c/c
Area of steel provided, Ast = 1340 mm2
27. DESIGN OF SLAB-BEAMTYPE RAFT SLAB

Minimum depth, d min = 3000/26/1.4 = 82 mm
Allowable s/d ratio = 1.4x26 = 36.4
Provided s/d ratio = 3000/200 = 15
Hence the section safe in deflection
28. DESIGN OF SLAB-BEAMTYPE RAFT SLAB
Check for Shear
Shear force,Vu = 122.45 x 3/2 = 183kN
Shear stress,Tv =Vu/bd = 1.22N/mm2
Now, 100Ast/bd = 0.8933, Referring to table 19,
Design shear strength, k*Tc = 1.2 x 0.6 = 0.72 N/mm2
Shear reinforcement is required
Let’s provide bent-up bars,
Area of shear reinforcement, forVus = 1.22 – 0.72 = 0.5 N/mm2
Asv =Vus/(σsv*Sinα) = 0.5x1000x150/(230*sin45) = 461.15 mm2
ProvideT12 @ 200mm c/c
29. Check for cracking
The steel provided is more than 0.12% of gross area
Spacing is less than 3d
Hence the section is safe
